You're in this for the wrong reasons. You think everyone is out for profit, just like you are, so you project baseless assumptions onto the motivations of others (with zero evidence). Some of us see the bigger picture and are interested in bettering the world. Gavin obviously does not. You have no technical understanding whatsoever, so you just rely on Gavin to support your self-serving position.
just to add my 2 cents to this debate
though i do detest gavin for other reasons, i think that people need to stop being reliant on one overlord. especially if they are getting $50+million and consultations from financial companies.
hearne, gavin AND adam back are all guilty of it.
so thinking blockstream is your lord and savour is just as bad as thinking gavin is.
all people want is 2m+segwit. without 2 years of needless delays and pointless nontechnical based contention. if all 12 implementations had the 2mb+segwit code in by april. then people can upgrade to aprils version of their favourite codebase, be-it core, btcd, bitcoinj, classic, electrum, whatever. it wont matter.
and if people dont want it they wont upgrade.
but by trying to say that everyone should be in the core bandcamp and rely solely on cores roadmap and decision process, goes against everything decentralized.
there should be no single implementation. and no chance of any single person vetoing code. it should be added to all implementations and leave it to the users to adopt or ignore. then if it doesnt get consensus, it just sits there as unused code, or get consensus and become part of bitcoin as a whole.
the real funny thing is. if blockstream thinks people do not want it. they should have no problem including 2mb knowing that it wont ever get consensus. and thus not impact bitcoin in any way.. but by vetoing any chance of code in april they are just delaying any chance of knowing the truth either way
summary for shortminded CIYAMits not a gavin vs adam debate about control. its about 2mb+segwit for the whole community or not.
trying to meander the debate into a gavin vs adam thing by saying dont follow gavin, dont follow hearn, dont follow garzic but blindly follow blockstream is the opposite of decentralized thinking
PS about earlier debate. out of 100 blocks i presume you looked at... only 4 of those were single tx blocks. (4%) but you keep spouting the "major", "majority" words out like confetti. 4%.. is not major, 4% is not majority
because you love exaggeration here goes.
of all the butterflies in the world, there are 4% in china that are causing all the tornado's around the world
