The .com was down for hours when I posted this thread.

I just came across this site in google but I never heard of it before and I've never seen it associated with the .com before. It is a clone and to me appears to be a phishing site. The chat box information seems to be dated as well.
I certainly won't ever attempt to login unless BTC-e.com verifies them as legit.

What do you think it is?

1000BTC = BitBillionaire!

Site is down right now!

Anywhere under $1,000 is a good buy!
In a few years, they will say anywhere under $2,000 is good.

As an old school user of EasyHits4U, I'll let you in on a little secret.
Simply find a buyer of credits, then have them sign up under your EH4U account.
Have them pay you first via a payment processor, then send them an EH4U personal message where you send them a gift of credits.
You can send any amount via PM to their account, all the buyer/referral has to do is click a link in the PM to claim it.

OP you are a funny guy!
Nobody should trust you ever...

Keep dreaming OP! Spread the FUD!

I will buy bitcoins for $1 each after you and your Core supporters crash the market and then wait for the next new moon!

You'll probably be DUMPING!!! 

This is all people were asking for!
Did it really take 23 pages in a thread to hear you agree with a proposal?
Since you are such a staunch Core supporter, perhaps you can suggest it to the team and break down these divisive walls!

He then goes on to compare hoarding bitcoin to


I actually was looking for an alternative to E-gold where I could bypass the insane restrictions of PayPal when I discovered Bitcoin. It was and still is just a way to transfer money across borders without restrictions. At the time, I'm not sure anybody was expecting this current Bitcoin value. So I tend to agree with Gavin's views on this.

You seem to be a guy who bought 30,000 Bitcoins for $30 who wants to hoard coins until they reach an extreme value. An excellent way to hopefully achieve this is by supporting Blockstream which will bottleneck and throttle Bitcoin transactions between users with their 1 MB cap until only the bigshots with long pockets that can pay exorbitant fees will control the Blockchain.
 
Eventually this will ultimately force the adoption of blockstream by the rest of the Bitcoin population and will also allow members to file disputes or ask for refunds with their new reversible transaction platform. No doubt, this will encourage mainstream mass adoption as with PayPal and the value of Bitcoins will surge upwards to unprecedented levels, where you Sir, will start cashing out your Bitcoins and become the new, wealthy Elite.

It is a great idea, I must admit to it and I am all for it as I would probably benefit as well albeit on a much smaller scale.

In conclusion, all I'm saying is, Gavin's idea is probably to follow Satoshi's vision and will probably scale without problems very slowly. However, although Blockstream is NOT Satoshi's vision, in my opinion it has the ability to scale a lot more rapidly but first it MUST create an artificial 1 MB problem in order to achieve its vision.

Let's face facts...a 2 MB block would render Blockstream unnecessary for another couple of years!

Please enlighten us Lauda!
Or are you baiting us with nonsense?
Everything you say, we can reverse. You said that "there are only a small amount of 'experts' who want 2 MB". Please show us the data to prove this. Somebody can easily say "there are only a small amount of 'experts' who don't want 2 MB". Who is right and who is wrong?

Since you are an expert on all matters concerning bitcoin and I obviously suffer from "personal incredulity" please explain to me exactly what is Confidential Transaction Codes. I would like to ask you to explain in great, in-depth detail why this data is not transparent or why it needs to be hidden and to prove that it and Segregated Witness is in fact not some Trojan Horse or "Bitcoin Core/Blockstream" control mechanism that we as yet do not recognize.

I just made it to page 3 of this thread and I have also been reading the thread:
Wondering out loud: Which should Chinese miners support - Core, Classic or another?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1343716

Even though the bitcoin atmosphere feels like there may be an impending collapse if certain issues aren't addressed, I really don't believe that gmaxwell would destroy his own investment in any way so perhaps you are a genuine person.

However, if Gavin is the "bad" guy in all this, why hasn't he given up already?
Is he that dogged in his determination?
Is he the Terminator? 
He absolutely will not stop until Bitcoin is his!
It is strange...if he honestly believes that Core will destroy Bitcoin, why not create his own currency, why the great need to wrestle control from Core?

Either way, I really don't care which way Bitcoin goes!
I don't believe that either party is attempting to destroy Bitcoin. I think they simply have different ideologies about the direction Bitcoin should follow.

Each party simply has their own theory that their chosen Bitcoin model will scale better, while the other party denounces them. Either way, no group can truly prove the other wrong, however one group must be victorious.

May the best team win!

Really...is that so?
Then what is it a Monarchy or Totalitarianism?

Please read this nice post that I quoted as I nor you have any idea who is truly speaking the truth and who is the charlatan.

Either one of them has an agenda or both or neither.
So who to follow?

Well thanks for that explanation and I couldn't agree with you more.
The problem is that I have unbiasedly read Mike, Gavin and now your explanation and everyone comes off like a freaking Saint.

My above posts were responses while reading the first 2 pages of this thread. So don't blame me if I jumped the gun...you don't expect me to read 19 pages before making a single comment, do you?

Amount of money lost if Gavin Andresen receives rejected proposals = -$
Amount of money lost if Gregory Maxwell receives rejected proposals = -$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Who sounds like they have more to lose?
Who sounds like the genuine person now?

If your bus is 50% full, you already know that pretty soon it's going to be full. The smart thing to do is prepare for future expansion.

Segwit?
When I joined bitcoin there was and still is no segwit, nor am I interested in reversible transactions with a possible and yet unknown risk of backdoor attacks.

Gavin Andresen = Coinbase = Bitstamp
Gregory Maxwell = Blockstream = Liquid
