Pumping your bags doesn’t work here boys. No one cares.
Maybe try TRX or XVG twitter. They are dumb as sticks.

For Earth Day I lit a candle in front of my Karl Marx statue and repeated the planks of the communist manifesto.
Community, Equality, Tyranny my fellow citizens.
Thanks Hairy Now that Labour Day is nearly upon us, we can engage in a stirring rendition of Solidarity Forever. We can band together against the banksters, plutocrats and career politicians. When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, But the union makes us strong.
Chorus: Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong.
Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite, Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For the union makes us strong.
Chorus
It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade; Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid; Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made; But the union makes us strong.
Chorus
All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone. We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone. It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own. While the union makes us strong.
Chorus
They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn That the union makes us strong.
Chorus
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold. We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong

So really all I know is that they intended to "scale" by increasing the blocksize. ... Has anything changed? Are they proposing realistic alternatives to lightning for scaling? Are there new developments that I should be aware of?
0 confirmation transactions. No, seriously - that's the amazing and innovative feature bcash has implemented to try to compete with lightning. What, did they get some sort of commitment from a federation of miners/pools that when they receive conflicting transactions in their mempool they will mine the one they encountered first rather than the one with the larger fee? That could be done with like 2 lines of code. If it's more interesting than that than I will go do some research. You mean disabling replace by fee? Does that mean all I have to do to double spend is send the funds to myself seconds before I send them to the victim? If the protocol is first transaction gets blockspace, the victim's transaction won't find its way into a block. Double spend will fail, but legitimate RBF transactions could be impossible. But if the victim is accepting 0 conf, then the attack will likely succeed unless the victims node is particularly well connected

$8900 already is a nice surprise

Looks like we need to take a break and consolidate at $8800. We might be here for a few days.

John said the following: “I feel that this whole cryptocurrency as a currency just doesn’t pass a basic test of what a currency should be or what a supply of an elastic currency should be,” he said. Yes, that’s the point. It’s inelastic.

I ain't looking for sympathy (like I need it .... seen today's price action?). What I am looking for is some basic civility. Some assholes think it appropriate to turn every conversation I have into some sort of referendum on BCH. With unfounded/unsupported accusations to boot. And no, BCH is not merely a money grab by a small handful of individuals. It is a legitimate contender in the cryptocurrency space, being developed by an legion of participants. And quite possibly in the long term the savior of Bitcoin. There is no fraud here. Nobody who looks at the issue more then five minutes is confused about the fact that BCH and BTC are two different things. The accusation that there is some intended fraud here is beyond ludicrous. Show me someone who has had a loss due to 'Bitcoin' being in the name of Bitcoin Cash, and I'll show you someone who is cavalierly negligent, willfully ignorant, or both. Tell me this isn’t confusing. Because I have been tricked by this Bitcoin Cash logo once already thinking it was a Bitcoin logo. And if I can be tricked, what chance do the noobs have? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimage.ibb.co%2FbNpNMn%2F5_CA29967_1875_4299_AD5_C_B73_A93562394.jpg&t=664&c=vI-XEg93bfiR6A)
What about these promoters of Bitcoin Cash?

You cannot possibly be so naive to genuinely believe that on the evidence so you must be a fraud like all the others.
