1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2X or not 2X. That is the question. on: October 10, 2017, 07:01:02 AM
No2x. The future of the protocol should be decided through the deliberations of computer scientists, not an agreement reached behind closed doors.

2x is being rolled out in a reckless way. I think it is prudent to take part in the network that values slow and properly deliberated changes to the code, not hasty hard forks. Backwards incompatibility is a serious issue to consider when designing a network like bitcoin.
2  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: So how much privacy do we really need? on: October 10, 2017, 06:47:42 AM
On the other hand, I don't believe cryptocurrencies that offer too much privacy will get adopted either, since they will be used for criminal activities and eventually get banned.
My feeling is that we want a currency that offers privacy to some extent, without revealing our transaction to the world but still be possible for law-enforcement to track illegal activities.
What do you think?
I don't think a chain that allows 'law enforcement' access that it doesn't allow anyone else is a good solution at all. Do you mean that law enforcement would be able to track the blockchain because they have the vast technical resources to do so, or because they are granted special access that other people are not?

There is an ideal balance between anonymity and transparency to be found. Does btc have it? How much metadata that is linkable to transactions is too much?

I think most people here will be interested in the bitcoin protocol  Roll Eyes

I'm guessing you're asking about application / second layers on top of the btc network?
