Yeah, but if you cant make a bank transfer for $100m, you dont simply go back and make one for $200m so it will go through. The idea that people will transfer more money because they cant transfer less is ludicrous. I mean, seriously?

looks like Core devs have thrown Theymos under the bus....

They are starting to distance themselves from the bitcoin reddits....

And bitcoin.org will now be bitcoinco.re

Its a lot more than 5, mate. Most existing core contributors are welcome to join, I dont believe there is any issue in that respect - its a free choice.

As for bitterness - I will leave that to others.

edit: looks like even peterTodd has dropped into Classic for a chat......

Meh, whatever. Its probably just academic now:

Bitfury on board for Classic

Even brg444 has tweeted his disapproval. Or disappointment. Or butthurt.

There will be no collaboration between Classic and Core - Core's objectives will never align with Classic. There was plenty of opportunity to reach agreement, but I think we are well past that now. The community will be offered an alternative to Core, with an alternative roadmap for segwit-like functionality, and it will be a free choice to run with it or run with Core.

Thats what bitcoin was always about. If you dont like what one product does, you can fork off to another.  

Over 50% Mining behind Classic now, Its not looking good for Core.

This is all the logs show - I'll put a script together to match them to [whenever] they make it to a block or just die. I'll mess with limitfreerelay and
minrelaytxfee and see what figures come up.

 

I dont think he blamed them for causing the problem, I think he blames them for not having the balls to stand up to Blockstream and force the issue by adopting bigger blocks.  As he explained, it was down to this funny sense of 'loyalty' - which is commendable in principle but should never stop you from doing the right thing.

But I see why the miners did what they did - the "pig circus" that was 'Scaling Bitcoin' promised that something was going to be done, but instead became a simple delay tactic while convoluted, unworkable solutions were being hammered out in the background.

But time has now run out, as it has for XT, and miners are now taking a pro active stance on the matter. All they are waiting for is somebody credible to put an alternative solution in front of them - a solution tailored to their needs - and they will jump.  And that will be sooner than many here care to believe, and certainly too soon for alternative vaporware to become a reality.

If its a victory at all for your fascist agenda, then its a Pyrrhic one. You have only succeeded in galvanising (see what I did there) the opposition to Blockstream and further polarising the community.  The tactics used to destroy XT will probably come back to haunt you.

In fact, it has already started.

Care to make a point? But not as contradictory this time, mkay?  

edit: Actually, don't bother. You are just a lightweight, less colourful version of icebreaker. I fall asleep reading your arguments.

 First you say this:


And then you say this:

And you expect intelligent people to take you seriously.

I'm sure you do, and the way you are going about it I'm afraid you might succeed.

Yes, you summarised it pretty succinctly there. They will never see the incongruity of condoning censorship  in 'censorship resistant' Bitcoin. Indeed, a lot of the anger displayed by the likes of iCE, brg, et al. can be explained as being a result of the mental stress they suffer from this cognitive dissonance.

bitcoin.org's actions show a petulant and child-like thought process that is endemic in bitcoin at the moment. That does need to change.

I dont think the change will be as contentious as you believe - common sense usually breaks out in cases such as this.

Wrong. Most people dont give a shit what your 'brand' of crazy is. Just that you are crazy.

You need to put that into a Matrix meme. Or an Alec Guinness Jedi Mind Trick meme.

Where did you read that segwit is to be included? That would be very unlikely.

You are correct, its a 2-4 plan.

What in the name of F*ck are you talking about?  Have you seen the segwit changeset? And what about the changes to wallets, exchanges, block explorers, etc. etc?

btw - where is maxwell?  what have you done with him?  Any word on the NSAJuniper back doors?

fixed that for you, quisling.

27% translates to how many regional councils?  0.  Null . Zero. Nada.
