seriously you need to look outside the blockstream box to see the big picture.
How is being against XT, BU, blocksize increase, segwit and any soft/hard/flabby ph0rks in general, blockstream related? Fuck them too if they can't innovate without crippeling Bitcoin's PROTOCOL.  |

Can we get back on topic please? This thread is about Gavin's naïve impression that internet bandwidth worldwide is improving over time.
Watching iCE gag and sputter when given a dollop of his own medicine is not gratifying at all, and is a grave insult to the great number of bitcoiners who have suffered brutal and occasionally undeserved surprise secs.

im dumping some btc over the next few days...need to hedge a bit incase btc does go down. Not dumping for fiat...gonna buy a small basket of Alts.
Maybe it should have been "the last few days". She's coiling again, gentlemen. |

Not only, but it's mainly the disk space...
So propagation delay is now considered a minor issue? You'd have to ask him, I'm just the messenger. Doesn't really matter tho, there is consensus on the roadmap.  |

yeo and in 2-5 years a 4tb-6tb will be under $100.. so scalability is not an issue
Scalability is not about storage only. Not only, but it's mainly the disk space...  |

I had a laugh at reading myself right now. I have learned a lot for the past months, and im no longer pro-BIP 101. I can't believe I was drinking the koolaid of the big blocks back then. I understand clueless people dreaming with huge blocks now, that don't get we need LN and not a risky big block schelude that may or not may be sustainable in the long term. The more you know.
Have you been using Luminosity? Cool, me too. I've decided that it's better to have 2.7tx per second globally while coders whip up a lightning network. It's really a sure thing, gonna be easier than using Bitcoin itself, people just don't have any patience. They drink the wrong koolaid and the next thing you know they're talking about competitive advantage, adoption rates, and stifled use cases... weirdos. What people don't understand is that Bitcoin is ours... to have, to HODL. Poors can spend their dogecoins and fiat, I'll be sitting here getting rich through sweet, sweet, stagnation. Feels good man.   |

Think the time span is to short for that to happend 600 is more likely and the price level i think it reach.
Sence price has raised to $45O, more likely that price will raise even more, nothing to fear gentlemens. |

What Monero's journey from 0.0019 BTC to 0.0011 actually did look like.  |

I just noticed this thread is in Technical Discussion. Did I open this thread in Technical Discussion? I don't know anything technical!
My mistake. Feel free to discuss tho.
How is this still up? |

And how does the world economy diving into the shitter have anything to do with not adding a tad extra capacity for our superior alternative right when it matters?
I guess they'll get around to it. But unless they're built differently than most humans, they'll do it based on a bias (and it's one that they've incorporated). Isn't the conflict of interest issue here just as important to unpack? Maybe when you stop being a childish shill we'll talk about it, hmmm? Not tonight, dear. |

You have to decide that yourself, people here are likely to just be talking their book, myself included.
You could have picked a worse time to buy some gold, like the last 5 years... so there's that.
BTC has doubled since the 225 doldrums. It's also a fairly high risk bet just in general, so the "all eggs in one basket" warning is a real one. Flip side of that risk is that it could moon without you.

-snip- I should have just read the tag line.  Reads quite a bit like sour grapes ... didn't get the invite to the big table? ... lost a little money on some half-baked start-up ideas? ... don't really understand the tech. as well as you thought? Don't feel bad, Open Source is a difficult minefield to navigate commercially. Open Source money is guaranteed to leave no-one unscathed coming out the other side. Now that we're focused on the messenger, any other guesses as to my motivations? This is fun. I've had a policy of trust no one in cryptoland, it's worked out quite nicely for me so far. My questions WRT the motivations of Blockstream's investors, their employees, and the "reference" client they control... are very much in keeping with this policy. |

Well gentlemand is a hero and he doesn't know what a bitpay node is, and I'm only senior. Fortuitously Fatman3001 read an explanation by brg444 who said they want kill all the firstborn. Gentlemand came to the conclusion that bitpay is coming to his shack to strangle his kitten, so it must be an evil node.
Can you add to our knowledge about WTF a bitay node is?
Ok then. "A Simple, Adaptive Block Size Limit"

Stephen Pair should stick to blowing untold millions and running start-ups off the cliff at the end of the runway. Nice analogy. BTW... do you have any insight on how Blockstream might earn back the $21 million bestowed upon them by Reid Hoffman, Khosla Ventures and Real Ventures, with investments from Nicolas Berggruen, Crypto Currency Partners, Future\Perfect Ventures, Danny Hillis, Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors, Max Levchin, Mosaic Ventures, Ray Ozzie, Ribbit Capital, Jerry Yang’s AME Cloud Ventures and several others? My "insight" is as per all the released materials and statements by the Blockstream founders, the funding for Blockstream is basically to "keep doing what you are doing", build out the infrastructure and eventually a long term payback will inevitably arise by having all the best guys producing all the best ideas in the space. In the same way Mozilla foundation eventually profited from their browser search box ($300 million per annum from google for the default search engine setting), Blockstream is expected to create something in the long term (next 5-10 years) that will inevitably be monetised ... in the meantime, all those investors you mention are helping to secure good people working on core 'unsexy' bitcoin infrastrucure, who were otherwise unpaid volunteers, and that will also future-proof their numerous other non-Blockstream investments in the space. I'm sure you know all this and it is about the umpteenth time I've had to explain it to the usual trolls but today I'm feeling generous, so you should bookmark this answer for the hundred other times you will beg this question in the various forums. Phew, I'm now reassured knowing Eric Schmidt has implored his team to work diligently on making Bitcoin Core the best it can be over the next decade, then we'll talk money... I should have just read the tag line. |
