It seems to be much better for bitcoin to grow slowly and also much better not to be too rash in attempts to change governance...
I'm curious how bad/urgent a problem would have to be before you thought a change in governance was appropriate. Maybe to the extent to which governance is broken, is a problem that has recently been attempted to be created. Maybe yes, maybe no. It is certainly possible that the governance issue is being used as a vehicle to promote some other political agenda. The way to find out is the separate the issue from others and see whether a change in governance, by itself, and without the baggage of simultaneously proposing immediate changes to the software or chain rules, has any support. TL;DR: Let's organize a series of well-spaced Satoshi Round Tables, where we can propose governance changes, and chat about it for a ya=ear or two. In the mean time, you can start an altcoin of your own. That pretty much what you're saying? No Oh? You're asking to separate the governance issue (as in "finally ousting the crew which stalled us into this shitmire") from "doing something about the shit that would have been done years ago if not for the douches ignoring the problem and ousting those who wanted to solve it." What have I missed? |

I may or may not be working on, or, rather, composing, another post that may or, in all likelihood shall, address some, if not all, of these areas of your purported and/or potential concern(s), which is to say the concerns you may or may not hold now are likely to be addressed in the post which is the topic of the post I'm currently composing, to the extent that you are really concerned (and will remain concerned upon the completion of the post of which I'm currently informing you), (even though it appears that you seem to appear to seem to be reverting back, i.e. regressing, to some (and/or all) of your earlier white knighting behaviors, or, perhaps, this is merely your feeble attempt at manifesting in the corporeal present the precognition of your future white-knighting behavior, the possibility which has not escaped me, albeit it's really shit. You fool.).
Regarding telling everything or a lot of things or stream of consciousness or whatever you want to call it, there is likely some repetition taking place I may or may not be working on, or, rather, composing, another post that may or, in all likelihood, shall address some, if not all, of these areas of your purported and/or potential concern(s), which is to say the concerns you may or may not hold now are likely to be addressed in the post which is the topic of the post I'm currently composing, to the extent that you are really concerned (and will remain concerned upon the completion of the post of which I'm currently informing you), (even though it appears that you seem to appear to seem to be reverting back, i.e. regressing, to some (and/or all) of your earlier white knighting behaviors, or, perhaps, this is merely your feeble attempt at manifesting in some of my recent content, but I may or may not be working on, or, rather, composing, another post that may or, in all likelihood, shall, address some, if not all, of these areas of your purported and/or potential concern(s), which is to say the concerns you may or may not hold now are likely to be addressed in the post which is the topic of the post I'm currently composing, to the extent that you are really concerned (and will remain concerned upon the completion of the post of which I'm currently informing you), (even though it appears that is no different from anyone else who has posted a lot in various parts of this forum.. with various repeated themes in the different threads.
Brevity, i.e. the shortness or rather concise terseness of the author's final product, e.g. a book or a letter, or even a diary entry where you start out with "Dear diary," which really doesn't need to be said at all if you think of it, but people just do it because everybody does it, anyway... the thing that the author should think about long and hard, before he puts pen to paper, is that brevity is the heart of, or, more precicely, the soul of, wit. To wit, wittiness, or even smartness. That's how important brevity is when you write. ...a book, or even a forum post. |

if you small blocker truly believe the shit you say you should from a group that wishes to lower block limit to 0.5MB.
you'll get more decentralization and security, for everything else there's the Lighting Network promiseland.
That's not really a sound logical extension, Adam. I wouldn't characterize myself as a "small blocker," but it does seem that the large majority of the core view seems to be a fairly decent and reasonable road forward... I am very sympathetic with Core in a lot of ways... especially in regards to questioning the need and/or the emergency that is put in front of us by the proposals involving XT and Classic and some of the seeming purposeful contention contained in those roadmaps to suggest that a hardfork is the only way to go and to call into question bitcoin's status quo governance in a kind of coo approach. Anyhow, beginning with Seg wit and then reconsidering to take one step at a time, seg wit is deployed along the way... as what the next step should be. It's uncanny. No matter how I shuffle the words around, your post reads exactly the same. |

The PRC has murdered more of it's own citizens than any other government in the history of civilization. they massacred their own people by the thousands as recently as 1989.
...
To be fair, they never had a shortage of people  "People who try to commit suicide -- don't attempt to save them! . . . China is such a populous nation, it is not as if we cannot do without a few people." --Mao Zedong |

How did we get from Bitcoin's consensus mechanism to US market regulations?
But fine, if you want to trot out that pony, I'm game.
To get a TL;DR of why civilized countries have regulated markets, go to this forum's "securities" section. Yeah, ded. Died of fail & AIDS, that's why. That was unregulated market in action: all the issuers OKTHXBAI & all teh intrepid investors still liking their brass balls, wondering wtf happened.
I understand that you think you're as smart as anyone in the securities market, that you're plenty good enough, and that you have a right to make your own mistakes, but nannystate won't let you.
Life is unfair like that.
You get to be bummed about your limited investment options, the other half of the world worries about getting enough to eat. You don't get to invest in Crystal's Massage & Casino? Roughly half of humankind get to live on less than $2 a day.
Chin up, Buttercup -- you'll get by.

So if you had a doctorate in economics, you wouldn't be posting this bullshit. Read up on late 19th/early 20th century stock market.

I really didn't see much comments from Google (bad or good) for Bitcoin or even crypto currency in general , could someone explain the reason ?
Only thing I saw was Mike hearn (He was developer on Google) but I don't care much about what that guy thinks honestly.
Google has been suspiciously silent about BTCeanie BTCabies,* too. *BTC = Digital Gold BTCeanies = Furry Gold |

So now blocks have room again?
I'm confused.
This is not hard to understand, sometimes they are full, sometimes not. Soon, they will be full all the time. Yup, think of bitcoin as a piss bucket, connected to the sewer line with a plastic hose, roughly the size of an IV line. When people in the public toilet (mempool) piss in the bucket (transact), it fills up, but, simultaneously, the bucket drains itself into the sewer. But only as fast as the IV line can pass the piss. At roughly 3peepees, the bucket reaches equilibrium: the pee pee flows out as quickly as it flows in. The toilet attendant (miners) stands as a century by the pee bucket -- he has the power to make you wait and squirm (not include your tx). Occasionally, the seamy bus terminal where this wholly repulsive public toilet is located gets deserted (police sweeps; also because really gross & no self-respecting human being would ever be seen there). During those times, the bucket is empty. And also empty when the sickfuck toilet attendant decides to teach everybody a lesson & not let anyone pee (mine empty blocks) -- because gets paid 25 BTC every 10 minutes anyhow, your paltry tips (tx fees) amount to shit. |
