Yeah, try telling that to people when they try to use BTC and there are so many transactions per second that shit takes ages to get confirmed etc.

That's not how transaction bottlenecks work. They work in precisely the opposite way - transactions take ages to get confirmed when there isn't enough room in the block for them.

Maybe I was a bit premature to say the thread turned the corner.  Sad


Except that there's around 1 transaction a second(Actually slightly less) in Bitcoin, which is basically nothing, so what Gavin is doing, is rushing things exponentially. Makes Zero sense and will deter people from running nodes if the blocksize is moved upto 20 MB so early. But hey, that's Bitcoin's centralization coming into full view for ya.

Under 'gavincoin', 20MB is not the mandatory size of all new blocks. It's the maximum blocksize. If, as you say, Bitcoin is chugging along comfortably right now at 1 transaction a second, it's not suddenly going to jump to 20MB blocks overnight. OTOH if it DOES do that, it rather suggests that the 1 tr/sec was a bottleneck choking the system, doesn't it? That 20MB isn't going to be filled up unless the transactors need it to be, in which case it's a damn good job it was there.


No, the actual bitcoin can manage ~7 tx/sec... stop to say thing really no sense. Again, bitcoin should not compete with visa if we are talking about how much tx can manage *sec...because visa or other system will win surely. Bitcoin should compete as trust,rapidity and not chargeability.

it's more around 3-4 tx per second, because there are multisig, and because one trasaction includ input and output, 7 is just far-strected...

A decentralized system at this current stage cannot compete with a centralized system in terms of speed. Not in the least. Trying to put Bitcoin against VISA in speed will always be a losing battle for the moment. So...

Going by some people, there should be no one to take any decisions at all. We should just wait for Bitcoin to magically upgrade itself, because if anyone steps up and does some shit, it becomes centralized

You have no idea what's going on. Bitcoin has a core team, Gavin Anderson is basically saying, "fuck you all, im taking control of the reigns now" to all the other members. That is Centralized. The reason there's even a core team, is so that no one member can take centralized control of Bitcoin development.

We need a central figure to take control of the Bitcoin ship and guide it between the icebergs.

It's fine if the other developers want to submit proposals, but Gavin should have the final say when it comes to core changes.

This is a so called(not really) "decentralized" cryptocurrency. There should be NO central figure. Satoshi would be ashamed of you all.

So Gavin Anderson, a bitcoin core developer, recently alluded to switching over clients from Bitcoin core to Bitcoin XT, and this was all done because his idea of drastically changing the blocksize within 6 months to a year, from 1 MB to a enormous 20 MB was met with a , no no, by the other core developers.

Is this what Bitcoin has turned into, a centralized manipulative joke? One developer using his "fame" in the community to persuade others to give into his demands? Is this really happening right now? Am I fricking dreaming?

Wow, so a developer has so much centralized influence that that him moving away is gonna decide an outcome?

Looks like Bitcoin's semi-decentralization is over. Onto the full centralization road people.

I did the math and there was 273 Federal Agents circulating this forum at any given time.

post the calculations i'll double check

(x2-x23)*32(93-22*3)<98(32)
__________________________
(4<09)
_____
18x(users)-29>10*714= 273

That's just the time constaints placed on the user proportionate to the timezones and varying lengths that they spend on here, so I use mechanical breaking to infer the % of Agents on at any given time, given the # of prior arrests and investigations done on users and current population of the federal work force.

unemployment rate is high. very high

You mean strucutral unemployment given the # of companies outsourcing jobs to other countries to save on wages cost and other benefits usually demanded by American workers.

Bitcoin's blockchain is open/transparent. Future blockchain anaylsis programs will be able to decipher all past, present, and future coin mixing/normal transactions and tie them to people's identites via social engineering or just searching google, no matter how hard you try.

Facebook, Google, etc are already doing that with centralized transparent services, where they serve ads targeted directly for you, or keep your identity on a system for lookup(Like online phonebooks), and more. Only a matter of time until all of that is done for transparent decentralized services like Bitcoin as well(Oh its already being done...wow).

It's insane that no one ever thought of this before. Everything makes sense, 4 years, number 2, Tupac and Biggue=BTC. These are the clues Satoshi left behind for us to uncover his true identity, Tupac Shakur.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi is Tupac Shakur on: May 27, 2015, 11:06:16 PM
welllllll, Tupac hung with Biggie Smalls

Biggie + TupaC = BTC


Thanks for that evidence.

Yet another I found was that "Tupac" rapped about needing change in the world, and what did "Satoshi" do? Built a decentralized cryptocurrency.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Satoshi is Tupac Shakur on: May 27, 2015, 04:17:54 PM
I have a theory my brethren that Tupac is Satoshi Nakamoto. Now, hear me out. Tupac disappeared on 1996, that's 4 years before 2000. Satoshi started Bitcoin on 2007, and ended on later months of 2010, so that can also be rounded up to 4 years.

Both people had something incredible happen 4 years before or after a date. With Satoshi, he made Bitcoin and then left in 4 years, with Tupac he left 4 years before the infamous Y2K of 2000.

Also, Satoshi signed up at p2pfoundation on Feb 11th, Tupac was supposed to come back on Sep 13th. If you subtract 13 and 11, you get 2, and that signifies that the two people, Tupac and Satoshi, are interconnected.

That has to mean something, that Tupac is Satoshi Nakamoto.
