Yes, demand for Litecoin

Lol, i think imma gonna dump some a little sooner maybe?
This is gonna be the echo of the media: "division, confusion, risk, uncertainty, doubt"

edit: i go more heavy LTC, XPM, DOGE, NXT, UNO, XRP and some others probably. They will come out the winner in this shit.

I know i'd dump on Gavincoin adoption. And i mean take a dump on the market like never before and not buying back in later. I know others would too so i think a meltdown is a safe bet upon Gavincoin adoption which i think is unlikely.

But i am watching the situation closely and i will make sure to dump my coins before xt nodes ever reach 75%. I honestly don't think it'll happen though. I think Gavin and Mike are clowns and epic failures.

Very fast txs, old and estabilshed product, very much underrated (smooth and fair launch, probably no scam to be uncovered here due to age - so less risky of an investement from my standpoint. This coin is consolidated.). I think people buying Joule right now are not like people following the crowd. More like smart money who sees joule as under value like i do.
For this low cap network is incredibly healthy - and it's very, very fast txs but STILL a slim blockchain. I think it's underrated a great deal. Hope the halving will bring us into a good uptrend. Joule is good for use of real world application down the road imo. It just needs to grow userbase a little more.

So, yes investing is risky, but i think there is potential for something more than it is now.

First ever halving for XJO to come up. We'll see how market will react to that less supply during coming months.

No, you don't need to fork it or mess with the rewards. If we fork we'll only fork for an implementation on merged mining with doge, not for some unnecessary bullshit. Everything else are good suggestions.

Great to see some activity here again!

We probably need more pools and some buysupport as a start ... getting it on more pools will help a great deal. Right now people can probably even still solomine it.

Congratulations, you reached the bottom:

Certainly it's gonna trigger prematurely if it ever does. The low 75% mark will just make sure it'll come out 50/50. lol. Madness.

Bigger blocks are a really bad 'solution' ... actually no real solution as there will be massive tradeoffs with security and privacy.
I personally believe there must be other ways found than raising blocksize for that much.
Probably these eggheads just need to work out something new?

Well, RIGHT NOW it's FREE to send coins around and blocks aren't even half full so i have NO IDEA WTF you're even on about.
The future is the future. How do you know for certain these txs will occure? How can you be so sure about it? Do you have magical abilities to know this? What happens in the future in case your predictions of it are wrong? Please elaborate on that scenario.

I think he's doing the best he can and you make the impression of a new Gavincoin-shill.

YOU don't CREATE transactions. They occure or they don't. Bloating the chain won't make more txs magically appear - well, maybe spam and dust-junk increases. But when you want a bloated chain full of junk, why would you want to tarnish bitcoin for that?  

Increased spam and junk is not genuine growth.

Tradeoff with accessibility issue ... would you rather let everyone pay 5 cent for a tx or would you rather exclude half the planet from using it?

And who is mining for free? Raising max txs ahead of demand will weaken the network in the future aswell as exclude billions of users and push centralisation.

Arguing for a contentious hardfork, hostile takeover of btc by Gavin/Mike and all that is really a lost cause...

exactly, +1

sheep, fools ... the dancing, singing crap of the world ... people with no spine and brain keep talking and supporting of Gavin and/or Mike. These guys need to be ignored 101%

Why would price rise from bigger blocks? Won't happen. The opposite would happen. It's best to ignore XT (aka Gavincoin).

Great summary OP.

The next thing is:
Increasing blocksize will also make BTC inaccessible to half of the world - especially the unbanked in developing countries (all of africa, most of south america, most of asia, most of pacific region) due to bandwidth.

... and bigger blocks lead to more centralisation... not even talking about the risks of a meltdown in marketcap in case of a controversial hardfork ...

It's really all not even rational... and i tell you right now: it's not about bigger blocks; it's about a hostile takeover

This whole blocksize-increase-debate is irrational at so many levels and in so many points. Why is bloating the chain ad infinitum even an option for longterm growth? The chain is already so large most people don't download it and downloading the chain is a major hurdle for people to enter the btc ecosystem. Why even raise the bar for people for adoption ahead of demand like you point out?
All this is not rational and because it's not rational we know it's not about the tps or blocksize, it's about getting people to accept their alternative xt client to take over bitcoin entirely. Basically the blocksize drama is an attack on bitcoin by Gavin and Mike.

They thought people were stupid and would go along but their populism campaign in social media failed (though they are still trying hard). It's politics, not technics.

We aren't only 'a select few' ... could be easily be a majority.

All of the people who think "don't fix what isn't broken" (which is wisdom) are against an increase at this point in time.

I think the discussion is manipulated by the xt shills who try to appear like a majority when they are a minority that just posts a lot more. Probably some of these xt shills are on some bank or governments payroll.

It's not about blocksize, it's about taking it over of course.

Moon the corgi biatch!

If you can get merged mining with dogecoin implemented we'll get much more fireworks

So you say that and in the same sentence support a censorship within Bitcoin (blacklisting)? You don't make any sense at all. You can't be anti-censorship and support XT at the same time.

Only Mike and Gavin support it. Some core devs could compromise with the sockpuppet-duo while around 50% of core devs don't like the proposal at all. Because the Gavincoin proposal has so small support and no consensus they need to release their XT shitcoin outside of core in the first place. Do you think we would be subject to such a populist social media opinion-manipulation-campaign if Gavincoin was the goood shit or something? Gavincoin is an attack on bitcoin core for a hostile takeover, nothing more and nothing less. And everyone actually knows this including Mike and Gavin. Why do you think Gavin would submit no BIP until like only some weeks ago?

This is not the "blocksize debate" this is "the ego and penis size debate" for bitcoin...
