Ok. But does it really justify that we all follow the risks that comes with the hard fork to Bitcoin Unlimited? As I read more and more about the topic, it gets more complicated than a simple hard fork and then everyone ends up happy with the outcome. There is now mention of an upgrade on the Proof of Work algorithm making the miners equipment useless. Then there is also the risk of the blockchain splitting in 2 and a dumping war. Maybe we should all follow the compromise and Segwit is that compromise.
segwit isnt
its like retrofitting a planes cargo area into extra seating so that parents can throw their kids into the cargo area so that more adults can fit into the main seating area.
issues.
1. it only works if adults volunteer to move their kids into cargo-hold by changing their tickets.(moving funds to different keypairs)
2. last year only obese people weighting upto 4000so of a 20,000so plane limit could get on. good for many weighing under 100so.. not so good for other passengers if 5 obese tried to get on
3. this year extremely obese people weighing 16000so of a 80,000so plane limit can get on. good for many weighing under 100so.. extremely not so good for other passengers if 5 extra extremely obese got on
changing the design of the plane hoping adults will change their tickets rather than have their kids next to them and also foolishly letting even more bloated adultswithkids gets on does not help.
yes having a plane with more first class seating could seem hard..
but then the team calling it hard are the ones now forcing in their cargo-hold seating with empty hopes. and threatening to nuke the airport if they dont allow the new retrofitted planes to use the airport is even worse.
funny part is that it would require everyone to upgrade (hard) to achieve the threats.
so if the segwit PoW threat is needing community to upgrade either way. they might aswell do it the less violent way and let people have more first class seating. thus not need to threaten to nuke the airport.. rather than retrofit planes and nuke the airport..
in short saying hard is bad, lets trojan horse something.. and if trojan horse is rejected, go super super super hard. just to avoid hard.
the silly flip flopping tactics amazes me
Ok but does it all really make the the hard fork to Bitcoin Unlimited worth it? It is buggy and the developers behind it are not as good as the Core developers. I believe the answer to that question is "no". The miners are making a big mistake if they help implement the buggy BU.
Agree...if the BU backers simply accepted the majority and did a Seg witness upgrade etc.....THEN made their case....they might have more traction...no less dangerous then that
talk of a fork...imho....anyway how I see it (then again I'm not a dev whale in the midst of the epic battle and power over who controls bitcoin either ..just watching from the bleachers)
