Why does this user (?) get to create "Important Announcements" where they obviously advocate contentious and dangerous software, in addition to promoting another website within it? I understand that said rank allows posting in said section, but isn't he/she/it breaking the rules?

There is so much wrong in your post.

Instead of agreeing to a 1 line of code (lets say 2mb) that everyone could have supported,
A 2 MB increase is not a single line of code; HF's are dangerous and the implications that they have on incentives such as centralization need to be factored in. Do I have to remind you about the DOS attack vector?

Core played every stalling tactic in the book from broken Hong Kong agreements to scaling conferences where no one was allowed to agree to anything
Wrong. There is no "Core" did that or did this. A few Core contributors and Adam Back wanted to reach consensus with the miners, which ultimately failed when F2Pool mined a Classic block. Most (if not all) of these people now even regret trying that.

to coding up 5000 lines of Segwit and then require 95% consensus for it.
There is nothing wrong with that. Segwit is an amazing (whilst not perfect) change.

You may never agree with me Lauda, and that's fine.
I can't agree with false information. Why do you keep doing this? Are you reading r/btc daily?
8144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What cryptocurrency is solving the scaling problem? on: March 29, 2017, 09:57:18 PM
Eth won't give a fuck they will cut blockchain when needed and move forward while BTC will hav drama 1MB vs 2MB or maybe 3MB...
Eth will add new systems on board (domains, new daps ) while BTC will have still drama 1MB vs 2MB vs Segwit....
Eth will move to POS to solve scaling problems  while BTC will have still drama 1MB vs 2MB vs Segwit....
You sound like a greedy altcoin bagholder who doesn't care about the principle of peer-to-peer or decentralization. ETH is a centralized bankster backed coin. The main principles that give Bitcoin value do not exist in Ethereum. They are fundamentally different, and your beloved "domains, and dapps" will come to Bitcoin in summer 2017 via Rootstock.

I hope they will move forward with good stuff and solve that scaling drama if not ETH will win in 2-3 years.
What "winning"? Nobody in their right mind uses ETH, and surely nobody who didn't come here for a *quick get rich scheme*.

The answer to OP is simply: Not a single one.. The other coins are not learning anything from Bitcoin at the moment, they are too busy with statements like "We are the best, we are going to win next".

Read this:

Quote
How likely is it that Bitcoin will be overtaken in the event of a contentious hard fork? I think this is an example of things to come. Bitcoin will be attacked through its mining, the network, legally, and every other possible way. If you don't think Bitcoin is going to be attacked, you've misunderstood what this is about. You don't go and poke a $20 trillion industry and go, "Hey, we're going to disrupt you!" You can't just wait for it to roll over. This is offensive to a lot of governments, rich institutions, and a lot of people who don't want to see Bitcoin succeed. If a fork happens, we get to learn what happens when a fork attack occurs. Anyone who thinks a fork will be unopposed is quickly going to discover that this will be a battle on all fronts. Inevitably the two sides are going to attack each other on the network, with denial-of-service attacks, with hash rate; they're going to attack each other publicly, privately, anonymously and not. Every bug in the software will get poked and poked again, so they better fix them well. The battle becomes "who has the best software development team? How quickly can they maintain that code and keep uptime?" That race is only 7 blocks wide. I don't think the people who are threatening to do a hard fork have thought clearly about the implications. This will allow Bitcoin to test all the attack vectors (nodes, relays, hashing, replay transactions, etc). And the result will be a Bitcoin that's battle-hardened, because it will have survived a fork attack and we will better understand what happens under such highly contentious conditions. It's very important to not mistake smooth sailing for good sailors. If any altcoin somehow overtakes bitcoin and gets to this scale, they will have to deal with the same scaling and governance controversies. Many of them will end up centralised or with failures in architecture. These are the rites of passage; you first have to grow up to face them. How many of the other blockchains are preparing for this? Not many, because they aren't paying attention. This is a fantastic experiment but it's not easy. This is a game with $20 billion at stake.

Segwit isn't even close to acceptance by half the miners, let alone the 95% it needs to activate... so, no your beloved
Core developers haven't given jack shit.  
This is complete bullshit and you know it. Core developers delivering something != miners adopting it. They have no control over the network. If the developers could control what should be adopted and what not, we wouldn't call the coin Bitcoin, we would call it Ethereum.
  
To me, its pretty clear you are shilling (paid or not)..
I am not the one creating a new thread every two-three days, am I? Roll Eyes

You are familiar with the various scaling solutions being currently voted on?  
There is Segwit, there are a few block size increase proposals (e.g. Bitpay) and there is the radical 'emergent consensus' that the economic majority does not want.

Then what the hell are you talking about with these accusations of me being 'delusional' or 'misleading'?
Stop opening new threads every few days.

There's people I disagree with but still respect (like Holliday and AgentofCoin)  and then there's people that continually spin, twist, distort, divert, and scream.
There are such people on both sides. If you don't think that various corporate and government agencies haven't infiltrated both sides of the community long ago, then you are very much 'ignorant' as the average Joe. Time to wake up Jonald, and see what is really going on.
8146  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Core/Segwit is a corporate takeover of Bitcoin, then... on: March 29, 2017, 09:30:16 PM
Also, the Dev's are being paid by Blockstream, thus the phrase "corporate takeover" of Bitcoin.
This is complete and utter bullshit, which makes you look like an idiot. Two reasons:
1) The 'developers' are not paid by Blockstream. Some of them are working there, which makes a whole difference to the statement (all, a big part of, a majority of, etc.). Look at the picture from Holliday.
2) These are the very same developers who worked on Bitcoin before they created the company to fund Bitcoin development.

Fact:
If the majority trusted Core/Segwit, then there would not be an ongoing battle regarding block size.
This is not a fact. You are a victim of the disinformation campaign that has infiltrated this community. Do you really think that various agencies aren't trying to push you into hating Core, so that they can stall the progress as much as possible? Roll Eyes

Side note: Someone should hire me full time to combat the FUD campaigns. Any agency willing to hire me as pro-Bitcoin to fight all those employed anti-Bitcoin community infiltrators? Cheesy
8147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: even r/bitcoin admits, LN still requires huge blocks to scale on: March 29, 2017, 03:04:44 PM
Was the due date for signalling for SegWit not shortened to 1 Aug 2017?
No. That is BIP148, which is not added into Core.

If BU were not in the picture, this would have been implemented months ago.... but they are stalling this with the introduction of BU to give OpenLedger and Ethereum and Dash a chance to catch up with Bitcoin.  Roll Eyes
BU brought nothing good to Bitcoin if you really look at it. Segwit would have been activated by now; no 'divide and conquer', no HF propaganda (which caused the price drop). Who knows where we would have been. Lips sealed

Jeesh jonald, what has gotten in to you? Assuming you are not a paid shill, you seem to be very anxious/in panic mode. You've never been creating so many threads in a short time span.

Are we really going to wait another year for the core devs to 'allow' us to
upgrade?  Or for the miners to reach consensus?
What are you talking about? The Core developers have given you a compromise, Segwit. Segwit will create 2-4 MB blocks. Stop with these delusional and misleading statements.
8150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: F2Pool owner: "Bitcoin can’t fork and won’t fork." on: March 29, 2017, 02:51:11 PM
Segwit is a soft fork; a soft fork is backwards compatible and required 95% of the hashrate for activation (as per BIP9). He was referring hard forks, more specifically to the 51% attack, aka BTU.
8151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I think the potential of BTC is over on: March 29, 2017, 02:48:05 PM
Many governments and bank sector are showing a lot of interest towards blockchain technology. Bitcoin is only digital currency leading all the other currencies. Of course, many people are kept predicting bitcoin growth is over, we don't know what is going to happen to us. We have to move according to market that's all.
Stop shit posting.

Yes, ETH and DASH is quick and probably technologically superior.
Are you seriously calling a currency that had fucked up badly, that they had to hard fork several times to repair it.. technologically superior? Cheesy DASH is an instamined scam; even its privacy technology doesn't work as advertised. Neither ETH nor DASH are technologically superior.

Probably one of them will become the best crypto currency when bitcoin will not be minable anymore.
No.

the potential of a bitcoin would not stop for bitcoin is still being used. I believe there are still many who do not realize that bitcoin is able to have prices above $ 2,000. maybe you can see it becomes possible when the end of the year, as per the end of the year, bitcoin prices will inevitably increase.
I don't think so. The potential of Bitcoin is still there an majority of the world's population does not even know what cryptocurrency is yet. Even if Bitcoin existed for many years now Bitcoin still has an increasing in demand, to prove it to you it always recover every time it goes down, just like last year when it got down to 500$ but now we are not even done with the 1st Quarter of the year it had reached the 1200$ level. Seeing a price action this big shows that Bitcoin still has a potential to grow.
The price is irrelevant. Stop spamming.

Bitcoin is fully controlled by blockstream right now.   
Outright lie.

Some altcoins are scams, but some aren't, and some altcoins are better than bitcoin.       
Correction: Almost all altcoins are scam, and almost noone are better than Bitcoin in any way.   

Bitcoin can't keep riding on first movers advantage forever, especially not if this infighting continues.   
It is not riding on that advantage. These statements obviously show a lack of understanding.

We have many enemies outside bitcoin, and we should focus on beating them, but right now bitcoins greatest enemy is the bitcoin community.
The biggest enemy right now is the 51% contentious HF attack called BTU.

The problem with ignoring and blocking out people that point out you are wrong is you end up a whinny idiot that is frustrated because you don't understand anything. You start to you think your opinion is right because you keep high-fiving yourself and you end up spending your time on a forum telling nobody that is listening how a multi-billion dollar software project, you don't have a hope of understanding, should be run.
Alex.BTC is wrong on so many points, in so many posts, that correcting him/her/it/them is a big waste of time. They are a delusional idiot with very lacking/impaired knowledge/understanding.
8152  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a good strategy until BTC/BTU is resolved? on: March 29, 2017, 10:54:23 AM
The closest investment analogy to a bitcoin hard fork could be a stock split.
No.

If a hard fork occurs, the total number of bitcoin's will increase from 20 million to 40 million coins.
Wrong again. The supply of Bitcoin remains the same. What happens is that you create an altcoin with the same (existing and projection) supply of Bitcoin.

That could mean that bitcoin's price will split by roughly 1/2.
No.
8153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a good strategy until BTC/BTU is resolved? on: March 29, 2017, 10:42:34 AM
When is the HF suppose to happen?
A HF is not supposed to happen; there isn't a planned hard fork. This is a contentious HF attack which may happen at any time.

I mean exact time and date.Will we get to know about exact schedule before hand and what will happen to btc in transit (unconfirmed transaction) during HF (considering that confirmation is taking long these day
There is no schedule. Stop spamming the forum and go start reading something.

I can see that some people are choosing another strategy- migrate to a alt-coin like ETH of ZCASH. This has actually resulted in the increase in these alt-coin value esp ETH and ZCASH.
You're suggesting two of the worst centralized scam coins. Roll Eyes
8154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I think the potential of BTC is over on: March 29, 2017, 10:26:16 AM
But that moment is still very far. Right now there's a "bottleneck", but Bitcoin will pass it and evolve.
Remind me again which decentralized blockchain has solved the scaling problem? Oh right, noone has.

Although it's evolving slowly, maybe too slow,
It's evolving quite rapidly. You aren't looking at the right places.

Bitcoin will need something really big to happen in order to lose his lead. And the competitor may not be even "born" yet.
A bankster banked coin such as ETH, where centralization is favorable and arguably desirable (as it currently is), can easily surpass Bitcoin in terms of market cap. The banks can shove a billion or two directly into the market without blinking. This however does not mean that a coin is even nearly as successful as Bitcoin is.

I still support the BTC, my concern is BTC in Blockchain bottleneck problem, rather than on the investment, although there are direct relationship between the two.
There is no "direct" relationship; you are making things up. Every coin is going to face the scaling issue if there is adequate demand for it.

I'm tired of these "pretend newbies" spreading doomsday propaganda. These threads should be locked and trashed if the OP doesn't provide at least somewhat valid reasoning based on science and intellect.
8155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I think the potential of BTC is over on: March 29, 2017, 10:08:14 AM
OP is a altcoin bagholder, this is without doubt a certainty. Either that, or the OP is clearly lacking adequate education and understanding for complex problems such as scaling, governance, et. al.

The intelligence of the ETH contract
ETH style contacts are going to be in Bitcoin in June, therefore ETH loses its advantage: https://bravenewcoin.com/news/ethereum-style-smart-contracts-are-coming-to-bitcoin-in-june/

for example, the DASH of pos node development are far more than BTC
DASH is a centralized, instamined scam. If you support DASH you are either delusional or very greedy.

And BTC is now facing a simple Blockchain congestion problem
Every single altcoin will face the same problem.

Looks like OP, and the people similar to him/her should let others do the thinking for them (until he/her/it gains the necessary knowledge to form a proper opinion).

Why so many black thoughts and predictions on Bitcoin lately? Because of price dump? It's not the end of the world and Bitcoin if there are some issues appearing. Bitcoin still has a lot potential that is unexplored and that needs to be used in right way. Don't give up on Bitcoin people!
The price means absolutely nothing. Look at ETH, 4.5 billion cap with zero actual real world usage.

-snip-
Larger blocks is just one simplistic ( and not very good imho) solution to provide a short term "solution",
Which leads to centralization if you trade-off too much. If you want a centralized coin that is run by a 'High King', then go buy ETH.

That doesn't matter. Just because you're new that doesn't mean that you should rush in here without common sense. Basically what you did was send 100€ to a pseudo-anonymous user without a verifiable history of trading. Normally you should at the very minimum use escrow (or deal only with trustworthy users).

It is highly likely that the user is not going to respond to this.

There is no proof as this is merely made up. OP is pissed as he is now facing consequences of his prior actions.

I really feel that something is going on here with the guys you mentioned because Quickseller don't as such never flog a dead horse too long  Undecided
There is nothing going on for over 2 months now. QS always beats a dead horse (see vs. Dooglus, vs. Vod, vs. tspacepilot, vs. me). He/she/it/they wouldn't be in the top 10 least trustworthy people on BTCT as per trust ratings for no reason.
