you name it; they aim to sidechain it.

iCE please, i beg you, take your meds!  

Haldol 1 tab po qid, as directed,  # to be dispensed:  10000 tabs,  1000 refills.

4 pills a day keeps the doctor away!

"iCE, look.  i told you, you need to take your medications every day.  otherwise, the convulsions become uncontrollable. 

please, for your own good". 

i prefer, "losing your cookies".

or, "projectile vomiting" will suffice.

oh my:

i think i need to change your resume from bombastic to ballistic.  the projectile vomiting part still applies however.

you always say this as if it is a one way function leading to XT gloom.

i think the opposite is even more likely, "demand creates it's own supply".  i've talked about this before, as internet traffic demand from XT increases thru user fee based tx's, ISP providers could be thrilled to be able to monetize all the new traffic as they have long envisioned via the new internet economy.  growth of the online economy is something they have been preparing for years for.  all that fiber optic cable being laid across Africa as we speak could bring on billions of new internet users all of whom will have to pay some degree of connectivity fees.  same goes for Western economies.  i'd bet these ISP's love economic growth way more than oppressive gvt regulations choking that same growth.

i see sidecoins as inflationary.  the author can choose any issuance or inflation schedule he pleases to be backed by scBTC.  when viewed this way, the entire fiat money system could be viewed as a sidechain with USD as the sidecoin with gold backing at least before 1971.

total misunderstanding of this argument.  you're talking about individual tx fees which can stay cheap w/o a block limit.  what will grow is the total aggregate amount of tx fees to pay miners as the reward dissipates and as the userbase grows unconstrained.  these meaningful fees will allow Bitcoin to keep secure by growing mining security.

as the userbase spreads out, so will full node and mining distribution.  this will be good as we need to move away from the areas of highest concentration today, that being N. America and Europe.

no, SC's encourage speculative money to chase sidecoins, scBTC, and/or any other speculative asset they choose to sell on the SC like Truthcoins.  given that these SC's are bound to be less secure, they will have much greater failure rates than if they just bought BTC itself or invested in businesses that deal in BTC directly.  what we want instead is for speculators to invest in BTC itself to drive the market price much higher.  which is actually needed to allow large $million tx's to occur on MC w/o causing volatility.  that, or invest in merchants/businesses that can service the userbase growth that a no block limit will encourage.

absolutely not. 

i've never heard of him influencing anything except for the bunch of Cripplecoiner's around here who seem to idolize him.  or maybe he's a father figure.

there'e probably plenty of Bitcoiner's who have more coin than him, if that is even a measure at all of power, which i doubt.

SC's are clearly altcoins.  

brg444 and Adam spent months teaching us how any type of coin ala Truthcoin can hitch themselves to a SC in addition to the migrated scBTC.  in fact, have you EVER heard Blockstream place any type of restriction on what kind of speculative asset can be supported on a SC?  answer: no.  they are a form of dilution, hence inflation, to Bitcoin and will turn Bitcoin into a WoW trading platform.

you had to go and ruin it, didn't you? 

ty for that.  oh my gaud  :

i'm not sure about that.  no one, esp me, wants to live under a Blockstream totalitarian regime that only will act when they have a gun pointed at their heads.  look at some of the kludges they've slipped into the code w/o anyone knowing according to Hearn's forking article.

one down:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinxt/comments/3h6lk8/toomim_bros_supports_democracy_and_bitcoin_xt/

and there is every incentive by a SC founder to make it dominant over the MC.  why?  b/c it would force all current Bitcoin cold wallet holders to migrate to the new dominant innovative SC which itself has it's early adopters/designers who stand to make a fortune by flipping their founder's coin to the panicked Bitcoin migraters.

thus, every corporation/entity that consults with Blockstream to design an innovative, proprietary SC will, before they pay a dime in consulting fees, force Blockstream to sign an airtight non-compete to prevent any backporting of said innovation back to Bitcoin.

and preserves the past historical ledger perfectly and reissues identical coins on the XT chain.  you don't lose.

still ramping:

no, the Blockstream core devs already had their own Jekyll Island moment in the backwoods of California early last year.
