Save Bitcoin: Ditch Blockstream and switch to Classic

[tobacco123]

Classic is gaining some momentum and hopeful will turn into something significant.

When I look at what my client connects to, there often is one classic node but rarely two and often none. Usually there is one. Same for core 0.12.0 (what I run)

Lot of nodes running 0.11.x core.

I think a lot of nodes haven't decided if they want to go core 0.12.x or classic yet.

I don't think it is fair to say either is gaining momentum.

I think adoption comes in waves. The first wave is in and we are waiting for the next wave (bigger) to happen.

If blocksize debate is going no-where, the halving will not in anywhere increase the value of bitcoins.

Classic reminds me of the Black Lives Matter movement. Next we will see r/btc  filled with rants of how core is racist and blockstream was responsible for 9/11

Nah! core is paedophilic - fiddling with poor innocent underage nodes.

I've got a Bitcoin unlimited node in my peer list, is that gaining acceptance?

instead of debating the blocksize limit, maybe we should start requiring the mining pools to mine blocks that include transactions.

I will upgrade my node to classic once Gavin and Brian Armstrong reveal that Core developers are working with ISIS.

Won't work, they would just add transactions that pay themselves.

Instead of opining like you know what you're talking about... maybe you should research why those coinbase only/0 tx blocks are all under a minute in duration. And why that is an argument for miners setting their own soft limits on the sizes of their blocks... like they did for the last 6 years. These blocks are basically miners deciding to not shut down their farm for the first minute after a block is solved... once the previous block is verified, they will start including transactions.

If bitcoin is more centralized, they could have a separate channel to include tx only they know about.

Actually, they are working with KAOS but Agent 99 is on it.

 sounds like a shit excuse to run crap code on a pool.

Shoulda hired you, I guess.

[elokk]

I don't think we can hire anyone to save bitcoin now that Hearn has left. Time to sell and buy ethereum like a good lemming 

[Amph]

why we should switch to classic when core offer the same exact thing plus other bunch of useful stuff that will increase the capacity  anyway

2mb is coming for core too, within one year, but it is coming, so classic is obsolete
