Dunno if this belongs in a different board.
Any regular listener here of
NPR's planet money podcast would have heard one of their most recent episodes, about bitcoin. They usually have great stories to tell, bit this one I take as an insult to bitcoin.
They are discussing the blocksize debate. In their episode, they execute a bitcoin transaction. But for some reason, this transaction does not go through. The network forgets it. This gives the impression that the bitcoin network is broken. I've never once had my transaction forgotten. I blame this anomaly on the user's. They most probably use little to no fees. But no, they have to go on and idolise XT and Classic, saying "It's bitcoin with a larger block capacity". Not true.
Any opinions?
