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

[tl121]

XD Veritas, so you don't care if for make a full node there will be a budget of 100,000$ only in eletricity? I agree with brg444 in this case because all what you just wrote not only is meaningless but even stupid

It is possible to work out the electricity costs to run a full node.  Presently with 1 MB blocks a computer that easily keeps up with the network uses less than $10.00 of electricity per year.  This computer can process  roughly 100 million transactions a year, for an electricity cost per transaction of $0.0000001 per transaction.   If the network has 10,000 nodes the total electricity cost amounts to $0.001 per transaction.   Electricity cost is not  a significant factor in the cost of running a full node today, nor is this likely to be the case in the future.

Inform yourself and decide for yourself using reason.

We spent the entire summer and fall reading that Gavinista agitprop, along with such now-debunked classics like "Capacity Cliff" and "Hard Landing" and Peter R's quasi-wonky sophistry.

The community has already informed itself and using reason decided BIP000 best fits the existing socioeconomic consensus.

You're just crying because you disagree with that decision, and wish to make it seem as if it was an uninformed choice.

The idea of some n00b like you (even if you are Mike_Hearn@sigint.google.mil) lecturing people like Adam Back and Nick Szabo on Bitcoin fundamentals is laughable.

That's OK, I welcome your contributions of humor to the forum, as one of the few remaining XTurd lolcows left around to milk for comedic reactions.

It would be interesting to know if there is a correlation between those who engage in formalize shilling and those who abruptly left when it was clear that trolling bitcointalk.org was a losing strategy in 'operation destroy-bitcoin'.

For me it has become more pathetic than it is amusing to see these dead-enders continue to try to hock their wares here.

What has to do the fact that bitcointalk got down with the XT debate? Don't tell me that XT supporters are so freaking extremist that would even make public the identity of each normal bitcoin user just to put them on shame?

Thank you for asking these questions. Do you happen to have a list of XTurds (with or without their activity status or notes)?

Adam is ridiculous. Whining about downvotes and not criticising the Greatest Censor of Bitcoin history.
Our iCEman will get Blocks with a cap that will be at least doubled next year. The stalemate ("which is the preferred outcome for bitcoin core") won't continue.
Bad outlook for the moronero trolls. (monero near alltime low now, by the way...).

The AMA overload failed to attract a critical mass of users, but the bills still have to be paid.

The desperation is palpable.  Bitcoin Judas badly overestimated how much of a fuck anyone would give about yet another rump forum.

My prior analysis predicted this outcome.  Those eager to defect from Bitcoin's existing consensus are by definition self-selected for fractious tendencies.  Given their even higher than normal Bitcoin users(!) propensity to be unable to play well with others, they will naturally continue to recursively divide themselves into ever smaller groups.

Monty Python famously depicts this phenomenon in Life of Brian, as the People's Front of Judea despises the Judean People's Front and Popular People's Front (which is revealed to be a solitary individual) even more than the Romans.

This neatly illustrates one reason the Lindy Effect exists, as competing possible replacements to status quo are inherently cannibalistic and opportunities for possible cooperation are mitigated by narcissism of small differences.

Delicious. Our classic frontist cited the joke with the Judean People's Front.

I didn't just cite the joke, I *EXPLAINED* in detail why it applies to the topic at hand.  Can you do that?

In no way does La Serenissima care about the Gavinista Defector Front.  Your self-beclowning is only of value for entertainment, like a court jester or village idiot.

i suppose that is from the XT forum.... So many guests. Oh wait, XT is technicaly a FUD made just to make some chaos around Bitcoin so of course they are only watching what is their next strategy..... Anyway of the 10 registered i'm surprised that the bots goes to pay a visit to the website/forum.....

P.s. are News Robot and SteamGifter bots too? their nicks doesn't sounds like one that a random guy would choise

I laughed, but bitcointalk has been around quite a bit longer.  Plus, all the cool dudes with great archives are on bitcointalk and we have a better signature campaign.

You care. Hardly a single post without exposing your XT/Gavin paranoia. You're leading yourself ad absurdum.

Dunno, Gavin/Mike represents JPF to me, Roger's more like the Popular Front.

well i don't know if we really need to laugh, no offense but thw fact that the commercial forum has less visibility then bitcointalk must raise the question "possible that only normal people care about bitcoin on general but when we get to the commercial level everything disappear?" anyway thanks for the correction i thinked that was still another try of the xt supporters to appear like an army when on reality are four cats on despair
