Maybe he meant Attack Helicopter Membership. That should probably be a thing.




There's plenty of Cupper Members, they just don't have a special title below their name.

You'd be interested to learn how they go about acting as professional spammers. Sorry your account got caught up in the mix. These people have no shame. They haven't even informed the projects that hired them that they are no longer bumping these projects to the top of the Alt Announcements thread anymore, as the system has been changed.

No doubt they are also scammers who professionally scam other scammers for a living. Their business will soon be dead, however.

They are all part of a ring of spammers for hire called Vitor Services.

Their clients don't realize that their threads are no longer being bumped to the top of the Altcoin Announcements section per new changes implemented by theymos, the forum administrator

Thus, they are wasting their money. Sooner or later they will wise up to this fact and either fire Vitor Services or ask for a refund since they are no longer delivering what they promised.

You are not Galileo.

You took a pre-existing concept, slightly tweaked it, and now go around insisting it is the original thing.

Nobody has a problem with you starting an altcoin. Its the whole pretending its the "Original Bitcoin" thing that we don't care for. Its not working for Craig Wright. Its not going to work for you either.

We don't care about your particular definition of the word "cash," which is entirely subjective. Galileo's beliefs were rooted in scientific principle. Yours are rooted in ego.

What's dumb is he took the opportunity to say nothing new. He just regurgitated the same tired talking points he's been yammering on about for the last 3 years. It's almost as if he is completely unaffected by Bcash's dismal failure as compared to BTC. He wants to pretend Bcash is cash while Bitcoin is not because it has lower fees. That's dumb.

If he wants to get technical about it, actual peer-to-peer cash transactions have zero fees, which renders EOS even more bitcoiny than bcash, according to his scale.

If he wants to get super technical about it, no bitcoin system is actually "peer to peer" since each transaction must be broadcast to the entire network and validated by miners before moving from one peer to the next. The Lightning Network is much closer to a "peer to peer" interaction than Bitcoin, or Bcash for that matter.

Of course there is. Its the community: the miners, the users, the merchants, the exchanges -- they have all came to the consensus that Bitcoin = BTC and everything else are altcoins. You are in the minority. You will always be in the minority. Don't reply to me until BSV has even begun to approach the hash rate of BCH.

Well that was fun. Think he's logged off, physically and mentally. He'll be back in another 3-6 months to show how little he's changed.

Me: Why isn't BTC bitcoin then?

You: Because it has high fees that prohibit it from truly acting as "cash."

Me: But BCH also has fees.

You: Yes but they are very low.

Me: But it still has fees. They both have fees. Just because one coin has lower fees than the other does not mean that one is cash while the other is not. You are making an arbitrary distinction and using it as a semantics-based talking point which fails to detract from the fact that the broader community (users, merchants, exchanges and miners) has decided Bitcoin (BTC) is Bitcoin, and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is an altcoin.

If you wanted to appear more honest you would concede the fact that the community does not accept your premise, nor is it likely to in the future, and you would rename your coin so it is no longer possible for others to accuse you of engaging in deceptive practices.

I know the trick you're relying on is using your personal definition of cash to suit your end goal. The fact that BCH has smaller transaction fees does not render it fitting of the definition of "cash" while BTC is thereby rendered "not cash." Either they are both "cash", or they both aren't.

You lost your battle in the hearts and the minds of the community a long time ago, as well as on paper.

Please do the right thing and change the name of your coin.

Language is guided by more than that. Definitions of words are created by mass consensus. The consensus is BTC is Bitcoin. It's always been this way.

You can continue - hopelessly I might add - to pretend that an alternate reality exists where this is not true, and the real world will continue to operate as it currently does despite your personal beliefs and preferences.

Long-winded and disjointed is hardly the same thing as being "barely literate."

Plus he uses too many American colloquialisms and idioms to be anything other than American.

I'd like to see an example of his writing that you consider to be "barely literate."

Symbol	Hash Rate	Market Cap
BTC	98.4 Ehash	$183.8 B
BCH	2.45 Ehash	$5.546 B
BSV	0.95 Ehash	$2.178 B

There is no doubt about which coin "bitcoin" is. There never was. Its never been close.

As far as whether or not the laws of bitcoin are immutable I would say no, but its fundamental principles are. Bitcoin should be allowed to evolve just like any other technology. The idea that Satoshi got everything perfect in his first go is ludicrous.

I'm touched that you think so highly of me, to be in the rarefied air of not being a complete shitposter, it brings a tear to my eye.  


I was part of the Merit Cycling Club for one sweet week, during which time I managed to trick c......unter into thinking I was Loyce, so it was definitely worth the effort. If you ever open a restaurant called The Merit Fountain let me know and I will advertise it for you.

Pretty close here, not bad! Browns are looking to have their best season in quite a long while this year.

Which is why I've updated the poll with their game for Sunday against the Rams. Gonna go out of my way to watch this one... Still haven't found a damn sports bar here that both

- opens early enough
- plays NFL games

I'd think there'd be enough Americans here to make that happen... Just gotta do a bit more exploring.

“Bitcoin is the chain originating from the genesis block with the highest accumulated proof of work. The Bitcoin Cash fork failed to gain majority, thus it is not Bitcoin.” - Erik Voorhees

This holds even more true today than it did a year ago when first stated, yet Roger's charade continues... Unbelievable. 

On the bright side, you've still earned enough merit to be a Full Member. So congrats on that achievement.

Time to get yourself a hat!

Well, in other news, Roger Ver made an appearance on the forum today:


 

If somebody buys BCH thinking it is BTC, that's why people think you're a scam artist.

Why didn't you just pick a new name for your coin instead of trying to ride the coat-tails of Bitcoin? Its not too late to rebrand. Perhaps you'd be better off doing so.

LOL. Karma works quickly around these parts sometimes.

Hah! Somebody must have deleted a post.

Sorry to severia if he was the actual winner, but looking at how things currently stand I had to pull the trigger for LFC.
