You know full well that SegWit gives you exactly the same as 2MB blocks (and will be done *this* year).

Yet you continue to say we need the 2MB blocks - why?

It is clear it is not for any logical reason - but probably for the same reason you have an ad-sig (you are paid and you haven't removed your ad-sig after I pointed it out either).

You should ask for better reasons from your masters about what to post as I am making you look ridiculous (and I doubt it is the porn ad-sig people that actually are your masters).

Gavin has become a cancer for Bitcoin.

It would be best if he would just remove himself entirely from the argument (but he won't and with support from people like you he isn't likely to give up any time soon).

Perhaps if you knew a bit more about Gavin and his history with the other devs you'd realise that no-one wants him as their leader now (but I guess you know nothing about that).

This is the unfortunate thing - you fail to understand the social science of what has happened in the project and yet want to put the one guy that no-one else wants back in charge (yes - Gavin is very clever at tricking people).

So you can keep on trying to push for Gavin but actually no-one wants Gavin (eventually he'll come to that conclusion himself but not until he has burned people such as Hearn and Garzik along the way along with trying his hardest to destroy the very project he once lead).

Personally I think this characterisation is a "cheap shot" (but yes I know it is popular amongst those trying to attack the core devs).

I am not a "core dev" and actually none of the "core devs" even particularly like me - so the fact that you (and others) think that I am partisan just shows your own "low IQ".

(for some reason you just can't understand that I am not paid by anyone for my thoughts - and that is actually sadder than whatever rubbish you want to think about the core devs)

That very much depends upon what kind of decisions we are talking about.

When the decisions for Bitcoin are to do with technical things (which so far they still should be until we really do have a "huge demand for coffees") then I think it is better to listen to the engineers than to those who run exchanges that are only interested in making profits and co-operating with governments to spy on people.

The people who "run economies and finance" is the entire reason why Bitcoin actually exists (because they failed - maybe you should read again the message in the genesis block from Satoshi).

(or are you on the side of spying on everyone's txs?)

@adamstgBit - if you want to be taken seriously (by me) then get rid of your porn ad sig.

Gavin (learn to spell is name if you want to be his fan) has only *one* other known dev supporting his latest effort (Jeff Garzik).

Now if you look at what went on with Mike Hearn (the last guy who co-operated with Gavin on a hard-fork attempt) then you'll see that it is not so likely that he is going to attract a lot of others (and if Classic goes south then I'll expect you'll likely see a rage-quit from Jeff Garzik in much the same manner as we saw from Mike Hearn).

So what are you going to say once Classic fails and Garzik quits?

(I am pointing this out to make sure that Gavin knows that Classic is going to be his very last chance and that others here know the damage that Gavin has and is still causing to the Bitcoin community)

You need to listen to yourself - it isn't a question of percentages.

You can't have morons take over control of a project (no matter if 90% of people want them to) otherwise you end up with a train-wreck.

Do you advocate letting morons run a project (just because they might be a statistical majority or even super-majority)?

@chopstik

You started the personal stuff but in any case - my point is that the only Chinese pool that is supporting Gavin is the one that is creating the 1 tx blocks (so they are obviously not genuinely caring about larger tx fee rewards at all).

If you want to be taken seriously then get rid of the ad-sig you have.

Is that supposed to be funny?

If there is going to be a rush to alts then shouldn't you actually be happy about that?

Personally I don't think we want just one blockchain anyway so I am not really concerned if we end up with many.

Really - sorry - but it is simply not a fact - just the latest crap you posted to try and annoy me.

It doesn't really work as you are a pathetic individual - so go ahead and post some more rubbish please (one day you'll grow up and realise that when you say "it is a fact" that is actually "not true" which everyone else gets but apparently you don't).

Also the word is "hold" not "hodl" (only mindless people follow such stupid "memes" - stupid people with no individuality try and follow the latest "meme" such as you have displayed with your sig).

Yup - getting to personal insults now just as I predicted (they should probably get someone better at this to attack me).

(yup - you never had an ad sig before)

And before you bought this account it used to have more interesting things to say.

Aha - and that was such a logical retort.

This is basically the level of the Gavin fanboys - they can't reason so they finally resort to stupid stuff (and next will be personal insults).

Seems I have hit a raw nerve on you fanboy.



Now will you care to answer about AntPool?

It's okay - I find him amusing from time to time (and when I find him not amusing then I am able to ignore him without needing to click the button).

So again - the other shills are not able to dispute the fact that the only pool that supports Gavin's takeover (which they have now also shown is clearly what they are supporting) is the one that creates the most empty blocks.

With friends like that - who needs enemies?

(btw - thanks @chopstick for pointing out to us that you are a Gavin fanboy - what say you about AntPool?)

The other Chinese pools are quite happy with Bitcoin Core - so no - I am not shitting you.

You have been duped by a pool claiming we need 2MB blocks yet mining empty blocks every day.

(that actually makes you look rather foolish to say the least)

Honestly I am pretty much certain your account was sold as you never used to post such crap years ago.
