Cypher I told you you will get #REKT...
You're the one getting rekt and don't even know it, lol. . XT continuing to ramp. 848! theymos: Satoshi definitely intended to increase the hard max block size. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.0
I believe that Satoshi expected most people to use some sort of lightweight node, with only companies and true enthusiasts being full nodes. Mike Hearn's view is similar to Satoshi's view.
I strongly disagree with the idea that changing the max block size is a violation of the "Bitcoin currency guarantees". Satoshi said that the max block size could be increased, and the max block size is never mentioned in any of the standard descriptions of the Bitcoin system.
IMO Mike Hearn's plan would probably work. The market/community would find a way to pay for the network's security, and it would be easy enough to become a full node that the currency wouldn't be at risk. The max block size would not truly be unlimited, since miners would always need to produce blocks that the vast majority of full nodes and other miners would be able and willing to process in a reasonable amount of time.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140233.msg1492629#msg1492629

That article says the judge dismissed the personal claim.

Your powers of desperately trying to tie any of this to the Blockstream scam is ridiculous. You're dev-child: However, the judge dismissed claims against Simon Barber, stating:"With regard to restitution against Barber individually, plaintiff contends that Barber personally benefitted from the unlawful business practices by taking salary bonuses from the proceeds received on undelivered BabyJet orders," Judge Davila said. "Again, although the allegations may ultimately prove untrue, that determination must wait for another day."

Yikes! If I'd made a ton shilling for something which is shaping up to be very possibly a fraud in the eyes of the court, and I was the only person who did seem to make any money off it, I might be as cranky as the doc here. Especially if the only money to be found was sitting in a 3000 BTC wallet under my control. One suspects that he may have been instructed to not be moving them around to much. I hope cypherdoc's hands don't quiver to much when he thinks about dropping the soap as he's operating on someone's eyeballs. Now I understand 'smooth's avatar better...he's must have been one of cypherdoc's patients and it's a warning!

theymos via BadBear locked the thread purportedly for being "off topic". really it was b/c we were talking about XT. note how this thread is similarly off topic in that no one talks about gold for the most part. it's all about pushing the Core agenda and the mods don't have any problem with that.

Not lock it. they did moved it to the altcoin section. but perhaps the amount of complain is un bearable and he decide to move it back and lock it. it works. no more complains. edit: btw I voted wrong because I thought the bottom option is "NO". and I can't remove it.

I wasn't aware there was such a thing as "off topic" in any thread on BTT. What a bunch of horse shit.

I wasn't aware there was such a thing as "off topic" in any thread on BTT. What a bunch of horse shit. i wasn't either; esp when it was my thread to begin with. but maybe that's their problem; me being the OP. plus, any moved thread normally leaves a courtesy notice for a day or so with the clear moniker [MOVED] attached with a link. not this time at_all. just vanished. and note how pages are disappearing from the locked thread as they go thru and censor parts they don't want read. and just what is off topic in a thread that's lasted 4 years and has 1.45M views and 31K posts? for the several days right before it got locked it was racking up about 7000 views per day. that's how popular it was. but that's the pt isn't it? stop the popularity before it gets out of hand. just look at the bullshit from BadBear: The thread shouldn't have been hijacked in the first place, what a mess. The thread is mostly about XT now, and the only graphs posted are XT related.
It would be a lot of work to split or delete all the XT posts. Splitting is not easy to do in SMF, especially with large threads, and many posts to be split. So that isn't an option.
It could stay in speculation since the majority of the thread is relevant, but all XT chat from here on out to be moderated.
Might be better to just lock the thread since it's so far off track at this point.

I haven't been posting much here because I'm not sure what the new rules are.
Questions:
1. Are we allowed to talk about non Bitcoin Core implementations of the protocol?
2. Are we allowed to criticize the moderators?
3. Can I post /u/raisethelimit's lasted comic? [lol it involves a CONSENS-A-TRONTM]

Well that's just the crux of it, isn't it? When the rules get changed and made up by the Mods at their whim, while the existing forum guidelines are never even enforced and throwaway Troll accounts with zero activity get to be made and post inane off-topic crap daily, no one knows what the "new" rules are supposed to be.

It's really sad and disturbing. Beyond the decision to lock the topc which is laughable for a forum whose wealthy admins try to look like free speach advocates, BadBear is lying to justify the decision. It's sad to see such an obvious lie tell with such confidence and perkiness. I hope Bitcointalk will loss its importance.
