definitely Stephanie, she seems to have great speech skills

and your point is, Holliday ? this is a free market you know, grasp the concept

back on topic, I know this can be very frustrating for you Gavin but you will manage to reach consensus, i'm sure about that.

wow, i didn't know any of that. Bitcoin is a powerful technology that has potential for good or bad. That's for sure.
So, supposing that, if some entity realized that bitcoin as a whole is untouchable how would you get a grip on it ? Could be hard-coding a "new feature" that offers some control in the future like p2sh for example. If you ask me, bitcoin could be mass adopted in a year globally, but we would have a dumb'ed down version that only makes p2sh transactions, no way to change it and no way to generate an original address, that way we would pay forced heavy taxes to Governments.
Perfect central control without people able to protest with a policed world government. How would you push those small changes ? Having on your side their "leader" ? And if Bitcoin doesn't have a leader ? Nah, the people are too stupid to think for themselves they always have a one, real anarchy is a myth.

I know Gavin is a good person and i'm with him, not for long at this pace, but bitcoin is not his creation and he is just one of us. He states being thick-skinned and able to manage a project like this without issues but succumbs on the first occasion someone doesn't agree with him. People here posted some questions and concerns about the new "hackish" bip but he chooses go his way without addressing them properly. We're not programmers you know, so if one of them tells us Gavin is wrong there is a small chance him being right. So if more of them tell the same thing... meh

+1 hope i get a nice pdf in my e-mail along with the print version, just ordered

dunno, i read the posts two times just to make sure i understood correctly

yeah whatever, "holy grail" or not, we don't even have a simple wallet export/import or at least export to paper

don't feed it Inaba, you got point 

+1 I solely promise that whoever I pass the magazine will pay me at least 1 bitcoin (current price), digital or print, or he will see only the cover of it. Stick a qr on the back to make it easier   You will get every penny of it just to keep up the good work.

I think you're underestimating the general interest "a bit"


that post is about  BIP_0011 BIP_0012 BIP_0013 not BIP_0016

watching... keep up the good work guys especially you Matthew, seems like the trolling skills have paid up 

if you're running latest version it already has a download progress bar, dunno what you mean by data flow indicator

got that, only thing is people want GUI features, they are actually begging to be implemented, so please try listening them for a moment. I see the protocol and the network as a whole pretty stable and redundant, the scaling could have some issues but not much of a problem given that you're a great coder and have a team that helps you allot. I've still got to see the 4mb/year blockchain proposed by Satoshi in his paper. Imagine the surprise when i downloaded it for the first time, ~750mb

Most of us are superficial, i learned that pretty fast, but i think you already know it. Try let them feel good with the project and collaborate in the base client or else you will see others take advantage pretty fast and that could be a real problem. It doesn't cost you nothing, the people get their "bells and whistles" and you get to follow your project agenda allot more easier not having to worry for people migrating to other clients for that reason.

If you strangle the project you don't win nothing exactly the opposite, you lose control. I want "bells and whistles" too and don't want to use some extra client to have that. People propose you things every day and i've seen nice pull requests sum up on git for months without being merged. The only reason i keep being around is that bitcoin is backed by the people and them using it, so if you manage to scatter the "pack" bitcoin would be valueless. You don't want that, right ?

We can easily have all the features we want with all the coders lining up with their contributions, so please don't be "nanny" for us and let the experiment go forward. Let them shot in their foots if that is what it takes to learn when they have to pull the trigger. Put all the warnings you need, disclaimers and such and let them "pimp it", while not touching the protocol.

Sorry for being such harsh but is the f...ng truth. I will be around.

yeah lots of great features and improvements left alone for the supposedly ultimate feature... p2sh (multi redeem) or what it's name is

we need sweep now, fast initial blockchain download and lots more. I'm really disappointed atm 

yep, with bitcoin every party is his own payment processor so the clients need bitcoin network connectivity or bad things may happen. Imagine a client having a shared wallet with another member of his family tries to pay you an hour of internet connectivity but the other person spent some coins on a new pair of shoes the shop next door.

His mobile wallet doesn't know it when creating the transaction so it will look like a double spend to you, but if you share that info with him, the wallet could redo the transaction using the correct coins. Now he happily browses the web searching to buy geeky things that cost the same amount as spent by the other family member

thanks

or maybe laminate some sheets too. Talking about deterministic wallets, where i can find a tool for that ?

that is illegal Mr.

I learned allot on browsing anonymously from when i found out about bitcoin, there is lots of information out there that you can use for your benefit without breaking any law. I don't do illegal things online really just i don't like being "watched".

but so fragile at the same time 

hehe we already have private cold storage EMP proof... CD discs and paper wallets or even stone
