What Bitcoin client are you going to be using?

For some reason I can never vote on any of the polls.

However I am sticking to core.

Other full-node clients may have benefits but until core is actually detrimental to the currency, I do not see a reason to switch.

It is my opinion that the issue of TPM is an issue that is not critical yet and that the core devs are both addressing and will have resolved before it becomes critical. So there is no need to use something else.

I have nothing but respect for Gavin but I don't think we need a hard fork to solve the problem, and I am worried a hard fork will cause instability and a loss of confidence in the currency.

blocksize relates more to miner's concerns  i think.

the node eye view is more about throughput - how much data your ISP allows/what it costs, and the amount of bandwidth required to maintain the node in the network...

i haven't personally seen a lot said about that aspect of things - segwit and pruning seem to be about optimising blocks/the blockchain's use of data, but i'm not sure how much talk goes on around nodes with regard to what gets called scaling...

core is clearly where the talent gravitates currently - that is unarguable - doesn't necessarily mean forever of course.

this 'classic' thing is simplistic, and like the other attempts - XT, and the others, seems off - they have 2MB, so what ?

it feels like a 'foot in the door' tactic, after the XT approach (rightly) scared everyone off.



so overall, has to be core

For me the best is bitcoin core.
I use bitcoin core because is original client made by Satoshi Nakamoto ( the master)
If Satoshi Nakamoto will create another software,I will trust him and I will use the new bitcoin client.

Lots of people are already using bitcoin core, why don't you try out other new clients? I like trying new things.
