jgarzik goes berzerk in #bitcoin-dev, wtf?

Imagine being a developer and you have this great idea on... oh, how about pruning the blockchain. So you discuss it with your co-developers and everyone agrees that yeah, that would be a great thing. So you announce your plans on the forums....

Comparing Atlas ranting with questioning some retarded ban made on dubious pretenses => apples and oranges

"THOU ART VIOLATING THE TENETS OF OUR GOOD LORD SATOSHI, PRAISED BE HIS NAME! THOU SHALT BE PUT UPON THE WALL TO RECEIVE THE BLESSING OF COLD METAL ROUNDS! LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL HERETICS! DO NOT CHANGE THE WORD OF THE HOLY PAPER LEST YE BE CHANGED TO BREATHE NO MORE!"

It's less pleasant to step off of some straight and narrow paths than others.

You might be impressed with their coding skills or whatever, but their actions reveal they are just ordinary scared and corruptable humans, which is serious disadvantage when it comes to world-changing project.

I'm not impressed with their coding skills, I'm impressed by their commitment.

You would be commited too, possibly even more than they are, if you are sitting on 100k+ Bitcoins that you mined as early adoptor
or bought at 10000000:1 ratio.

You apparently will not be committed to doing shit, and people who are committed are already corrupt, by the fact that they are committed. So, what the hell are you even doing here?

God, I hate trolls. Whenever there is a difficult argument to make, they pop up and force you to side with the mainstream view.

Not judging, just thought I'd point to a post by jgarzik on reddit regarding the mentioning of kiddie porn in this article because it might be relevant here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/14lzyw/the_money2020_conference_and_the_future_of_finance

If you think this is true of either all or a majority of bitcoin-qt devs you're a loony.

Agreed, but it's true for the majority of people on the board of THE foundation.

Pretty much.  But just to put some facts on the table,

Code:

{
    "version" : 79900,
    "protocolversion" : 60002,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 80.99950000,
    "blocks" : 211953,
    "connections" : 8,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 3370181.79927784,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1337909229,
    "keypoolsize" : 104,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "unlocked_until" : 0,
}

Ever since getting involved in bitcoin, it has been my goal to actually spend my bitcoins, and buy more on the open market as needed.  That helps stimulate and build the bitcoin economy.

Those with short memories, and trolls, forget that I have also given away over 15,000 bitcoins through various developer bounties.
