Wrong and wrong, sir. I am just one more bitcoin supporter. It is telling that you go for the diversion and failed to make any clear point.

Troll Buster is pointing out poor decisions that can be improved upon and people here are trying to find something of their's to be able to bash. This is typical Core tactics, whereby they fail to address the issue being highlighted and instead attempt to launch person attacks on the person stepping forward.

This is exactly why bitcoin development fragmented under the fifth column attacks that forced out the best and brightest, leaving us with the cesspit we have today.

Go on, fire up some BIP148 hashing power. I double-dare you.

Bitcoin Core will signal support for and recognise SegWit enabled blocks, amongst other additions. Depending on your stance in the max block size issue, you might like to consider using one of the other many bitcoin clients such as https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/ which supports bigger maximum block sizes as a solution to the full blocks we currently are experiencing.

It should be noted that if cryptocoins are going to "make it", then Bitcoin will lead this charge. In short, if only two of them make it to widespread adoption, Bitcoin will be one of those. With other alts, it's a matter of "Bitcoin plus perhaps X or Y", and that's the bigger gamble.

For that reason, I agree with the two previous authors: Bitcoin all the way.

Careful there. Dixon said two additional words that change the feel: "could" and "if".


There's a long way to go when we're still at the earliest of days.

Bitcoin gambling is something that the online gaming industry has, so far, been very slow to adopt. There's some talk of Bitcoin, but the implementation is slow. This is simply down to awareness and market penetration in the first instance. There is also going to be some degree of caution from those operators in licensed jurisdictions, since they will not want to rock the boat by bringing in a form of currency that the local regulators do not understand. It's all down to taxes at the end of the day. You might find that regulated operators are going to be less likely to run off with your BTC if there is a legitimate operation behind the website.

Anyhow, back the the important question, There are some regulated operators who are implementing Bitcoin into their platforms. Ask your favourites to implement Bitcoin as a deposit method and see what they come back with. This industry does listen to players. Talk to them. The more people who do, the faster we will see movement.

No, I do not work with them, I just got chatting to one of their people in a bar and liked what they're doing.
