And your replies just get nastier and nastier - do you think anyone is on your side?

The fact that you keep up your personal attacks on me just shows that you are being paid to do so (why otherwise?).

Obviously posting on this forum *is your job* and so I laugh at you.

You are so pitiful that you can't even get a decent job doing something admirable but instead get paid to troll others (you don't even know).

The forum's funds were returned (the very next day) so your accusations are just plain rubbish.

Obviously you are a very hateful sort of person who is probably being paid to try and personally attack me.

I'd recommend you get a better job as you won't get any job satisfaction with this one.

Oh - you are saying I am a criminal now?

You really should be more careful when you troll (everyone is seeing you make a very big fool of yourself).

No forum money was lost (or therefore made by me) over that.

So another trolling stupid comment.

I am really not worried about your stupid personal attacks at me - it just shows how desperate Gavin is.

You are entitled to think whatever you like - but I think that the FUD is "stronger with you".

(although I would not quite call you a FUD-Master yet - so you'd better keep on working at it)

The first thing is to ignore the advice of the poster of this nonsense.

It's interesting that all the trolls are trying to attack me (someone who doesn't work for any Bitcoin company and never has).

You are getting kind of desperate aren't you?

(shouldn't you be trolling the core devs instead of me?)

Not at all - not even close - keep trying to troll me but I'm not worried about you at all.

Sorry - you think you have the right to ask me who is paying my bills now?

Who is paying yours?

Huh? What business model are you talking about?

CIYAM is an open source project that is entirely funded by myself (there is no business model as it isn't a business).

How cute - our little troll here can't even spell a simple three letter word (or perhaps you think transactions need to be propelled manually across water by people in boats).

You can't "regulate science" it works the way that it does (no amount of government agreements will make it quicker to verify ECDSA signatures).

I see - so you have already caved in and admitted you can't do Bitcoin raw txs.

Better luck next time troll!

How about we just make the challenge in terms of Bitcoin "raw transactions" (surely that should be trivial for you)?

I'll post a raw tx and you explain it to everyone to show that you can understand it.

I see - so perhaps you'd care to take a challenge then.

Unfortunately I don't think it can do that (it is not intended for sharing). The best you can do to emulate that would be to use different wallets (and restart bitcoind each time with a different one).

Also "testnet" has become a pretty much useless thing (always having re-orgs and not processing txs as you'd expect) so I would not recommend its usage at all.

Do you seriously think that this is going to occur?

Even if you increase the block size to 200MB it wouldn't be enough to handle all the txs in the USA (little own the rest of the world).

(so your scenario is not only somewhat ridiculous but practically not able to be handled by Bitcoin at all)

(and although I'm guessing you have no idea about it - the time taken to verify all the ECDSA signatures in said super-sized blocks would actually be more than 10 minutes)

Actually - no - I tend to post more about things like doing raw transactions (something you wouldn't even understand).

The worry is simply that the Bitcoin experiment will fail (but my own project will continue regardless of that outcome).

Well - I guess it depends if you want to involve the use of a console (if so then "-regtest" will work and you can always effectively hide the console bits by using scripts).
