"Something snarky"

yeah, sorry about that, couldn't resist

Quote
Look, forget the fact that Ver and the other losers chose to implement big blocks. Those guys are narcissists, and bad for business.

That doesn't mean that bigger blocks is a bad idea. If we had chosen that, and they had chosen segwit, we would still have this fucking childish tribalistic spat, only our fees would be a tenth of what they are and bcash would be even worse.

We fucked up. We need more throughput, by whatever means, and segwit is not delivering. We need bigger blocks, or something that works even better, in less time than it would take to implement a block size increase.

You do have one point, I was thinking just last night, reading Rosewater's link to Rodger's total meltdown over $50, how glad I was that he isn't on "my side".

I have always maintained that there were, in fact, honest actors on the big block side of the debate, and I feel for them that they have this Ver albatross around their neck.

We need more throughput. Stop being a fucking tribalist and focus on what matters.

Of course we need more throughput.  But you need to come up with something better than just increasing blocksize by itself because that’s a shit solution from a decentralization point of view.  And I’m not seeing any other options other than LN and other second layer networks.  I’m all ears if you can point to a solution.
Why? Bigger blocks means more throughput. What is this better that you demand? Suggest something better. Otherwise that's the best we got.

Bigger blocks is like a hoarder building a new room on their house to store more crap.  It doesn't solve the problem, it just allows the problem to get bigger.

Also...a linear solution for an exponentially expanding problem... Roll Eyes

Any other alternative currencies anybody would like to casually drop in the conversation? Transaction fees got you down? Come share your concerns. Perhaps bigger blocks are the answer, because nobody ever thought of that.

Ugh.

I saw a sig ad for "bitcoin green"   


I like green

I have no f*cking clue what Cardano is or tries to archieve (nor am I very interested after a quick glance), but this https://iohk.io/ homepage effect is quite neat.


based on website fractals alone that is a strong buy!

I've been warning people about Kraken on here for months.

Thieves...avoid.
Come again?

I was responding to a post, since deleted, that I neglected to quote bemoaning the unusability of the Kraken UI.

I have reiterated my personal experience numerous times, but will do so again.  If it saves one person it is worth being tiresome to those that are paying attention.

Kraken very suddenly suspended operations in my jurisdiction, A major and tech heavy US state.  I don't check foundation email addresses every day, or indeed always every week, and the suspension of support was rolled out with very short notice.  I found myself trapped on the wrong (fiat) side of a trade during a robust run up unable to stop loss as account privileges had been suspended.

Customer "support" was laughable.  I kept getting handed between teams, and the right hand clearly did not know what the left hand was doing, further, no one seemed to much care.

Kraken's business model is to pull the rug out from under selected customers and stonewall and feign helplessness until it doesn't matter.  Their obvious lack of investment in basic infrastructure should tell investors all they need to know.

BTW, AMD has the same kind of shit in its processors since 2015 or something.

We'll need open source processors from now on ...

The obvious end game is to deny us general purpose computing devices altogether...because "terrorists" and "kiddie porn".  They will attempt to herd us into locked down walled gardens with "convenience".

The future of humanity is very much in play.

Glad you are getting somewhere Bob.

At your weight, a diversity of institutions and methods would seem wise.
