If core serves your purposes, I suggest you stick with it. There is no good or bad version.

[Herbert2020]

if you are not sure and have not been following things lately, i suggest you stick to what you already have (which is core) and wait until (and if) bitcoin classic becomes the official stable client to use.

How many developers are working behind the scene on Core compared to Classic? If you find that answer, you will know what route to follow. I have seen a detailed road map and simple explanations on the way forward for Core and very little information on Classic.

You have to make up your own mind, but I would much rather back a stable team, who are consistent and goal driven, than someone who jumps from one implementation to the next. < Insert Gavin here >

It may be that 2Mb blocks will be needed in the future, but right now Bitcoin needs a number of other changes to cope with increased usage and longer confirmation times. Core is addressing these changes in a controlled and planned fashion. A simple immediate increase in the blocksize could result in longer waits for confirmations and higher transaction fees imho. We need more blocks created more frequently, not bigger blocks.

The future is with core - vote core and keep Bitcoin healthy.

classic is doa, everybody is in agreement to remain with core, also core offer not only segwit, but 2mb too, this mean that there is no reason to go with any other altcoin...

in order to decide which one is good you need to read hundreds of opposing topics, replies and posts to figure out which one is better. and in the end you might not even be able to decide.

but in order to decide to switch to which version, it is easy. since it is too soon to switch and bitcoin classic does not have enough support behind itself, you should remain with core until you see any significant change in how things are shaping out to be like.

I suggest you stay with core. It is the best option for you right now.

With all the new stuff available in Core 0.12.0 I wonder why you'd even consider Classic an "upgrade"?

[BiTJack]

Core is the better option, with segwit they introduced some fixes & LN should fix the others too.

[croato]

I will stick with Core. Classic is just another bad experiment (like jBitcoin XT) so i dont think it will go far. Core have almost whole community supporting it and problems with block size will be solved in next months so in my opinion, core is safe bet.

Right now they both are compatible, but if Classic becomes the dominant client then you'll need to switch (unless Core also makes a change to 2MB blocks). If Classic reaches the goal of 75% of blocks flagged as Classic, a 28 day grace period will activate allowing all uncompatible wallets/nodes to upgrade before 2MB blocks are active.

Classic actually released a very detailed (and well thought out in my opinion) roadmap. Maybe you just haven't seen it?

[redsun114]

If you are not having any issue stay with core and do not switch to classic.
You can make a switch to classic any time later when you have got enough comments and feedback about the classic.

Bitcoin Core roadmap is here. Bitcoin Classic roadmap is here. Inform yourself and choose what you think it suits best for Bitcoin.

This is an excellent answer.  Read both sides ---> choose for yourself

If you can't decide this by yourself, you're not ready for this. Just stay with Core then, you won't regret it tho.

Yep, that's just a very good point. If you are still undecided on this, this only means you are still not cut for it. Stick with what you know, you can never go wrong with that.

I really like ice cream. I only have $5 and want to buy some but I don't know which one to buy. I don't want to get the wrong one for fear another one is better. What's the unbiased consensus on the best flavor.

Yeah, that question is going to get the "right" answer.

[BTCLovingDude]

i think it is easy to decide, at least for me it is easy.

classic does not have the mining support behind it (yet) so why switch to something that feels like it has the same fate as bitcoin xt

[jmintuck1912]

Thank you guys for helping me out. Much appreciated.
