Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud)

[muyuu]

Seems like the education/moderation job has been working somewhat: https://archive.is/9iNXf

You mean all of this will become effective before December?

Nothing much will happen in December. Bitcoin is tiny in consumer markets, most transactions are stupid raffles, data records of different kinds based on supercheap txs, and then speculators settling transfers but that is not related to xmas season or anything. Also, in China and most of Asia xmas is minor.

There is no end of the world next month like there wasn't last month, or any other month since the XT fud hardfork attempt took place. XTard desperation is correlated to BTC price 

Your denial is great.

[muyuu]

Your denial is great.

Hahahaha  the 0.1 percenter has spoken about denial.

Your denial is great.

Hahahaha  the 0.1 percenter has spoken about denial.

Bitcoin will be forked in December by the industry, like it or not. You shall prepare yourself instead of laughing stupidly.

How many full nodes does "the industry" run?

How much hashing power do they have behind them?

How many bitcoins do they own?

The industry of Bitcoinfiat companies is the economic minority. Their decision have no incidence within the Bitcoin economy.

Step back, wait until December, and watch. No more arguing is needed at this point, forking will happen like it or not.

DO IT!

I can't wait.

[knight22]

DO IT!

Wait till December.

I can't wait. 

Me too.

[brg444]

DO IT!

Wait till December.

I can't wait. 

Me too.

Do you promise to leave us the fuck alone when it inevitable fails to materialize though 

[VeritasSapere]

DO IT!

Wait till December.

I can't wait.  

Me too.

Yes it has to happen soon, do you remember how I said there could be a spike of adoption due to global events and this is why we should increase the blocksize before this happens. Well it has happened, capital controls in china combined with favorable rulings in the EU have created the perfect storm. The blocks are now becoming consistently full and if we do not increase the blocksize soon, transactions will be rendered unreliable. This would not be a good experience for all of the new people that are now joining our community.

I'm going to ask you the same thing:

Do you promise to leave us the fuck alone when it inevitable fails to materialize  

[Zarathustra]

DO IT!

Wait till December.

I can't wait. 

Me too.

Do you promise to leave us the fuck alone when it inevitable fails to materialize though 

Do you promise to leave us the fuck alone when core is stupid enough trying to defend the 1MB cap beyond Hongkong?

[muyuu]

Yeah can't wait for xmas and the ski season  

[hdbuck]

DO IT!

they're not defending anything.

it's merely 'investigating before testing.. before reassessing.. before retesting..'... to be precise..

but you should fork off already, needless to stay until december.

If/when there is contention for space on the blockchain, there is a huge amount of room to grow by simply squeezing out the freeloaders.  As it happens, they'll not be left homeless or forced to the alt-ville ghettos due to the development of subordinate chains which provide real Bitcoin power through a proxy and does not bloat the core chain and thus compromise the network or require a hard-fork and associated risk.

In other words, life is good!  Just look at the price charts for confirmation.  It is funny (and not very surprising) to see the likes of Coinbase desperate to reverse the goodness.

No, I'm going to rub it in your face and dare you to phork off!

Squeezing out the freeloaders? I suppose that would include myself and many other users of Bitcoin, I pay fees but I would not be prepared to pay much larger fees if I can just use an alternative currency instead, Bitcoin does still need to compete. Who are you to say what is a legitimate use of the blockchain and what is not, we should allow as many people as possible to use the blockchain so that its benefits are felt by more people in the world. Third parties build on top of the Bitcoin blockchain do not have the same benefits as transacting on the main bitcoin blockchain directly, so no thank you to using third parties on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, not for me at least.

Pathetic lies.

Bitcoin  doesn't compete on the basis of transaction fees.

Fine then; go ahead move over to an alt for your latte purchases.  I'll do mine on a sidechain and enjoy the solidity of real Bitcoin backing it without destroying the solution.

Bloating Bitcoin right into the waiting arms of corp/gov so you can have some nebulous benefit of having a record of your piss-ant transaction recorded in every copy of the blockchain and in-perpetuity is beyond retarded.
