Professor Stolfi must be capable of doing the job if nobody else is prepared to do it, or capable of doing it.

  Great joke!

That would be funny indeed.  I do have a Github account...

Please someone do it, and remove the temptation.   

Go for it! (Actually I'm serious)

We need a suggestion list for what we put as the User Agent name.

I wonder if too many people thinking the flash crash wasn't the bottom is actually what makes it the bottom. I doubt it. There's not enough BTC swaps on bfx, but hey who the hell knows?

If it is the bottom, it's because emerging market currencies are tanking and smart brown people will be buying as a hedge on inflation. That would be a good thing if we want this to be truly global.

Anyway, I'm trying to buy gasoline with purse.io and leaving this block size mess to better programmers (which is to say...programmers)

I wonder where all the >100k margin long coins want to dump into at some point... There is still not a lot on the Bitfinex book which would prevent the next margin call round if somebody decides to dump..

Some people are really trapped as it seems

Yeah, wanna know something that makes it all worse than just whats shown on USD margin swaps?

The fact that most people hold BTC as collateral, BFX have said this themselves. So, not only are people accruing all this interest owed to lenders, when they are liquidated or close, their BTC collateral also has to be sold adding even more fuel to the bear fire.

It doesn't change the fact that the core devs have known about this issue for years and can't even come to an agreement on the direction much less the implementation of the scalability issue. Some are even arguing that we don't need to scale bitcoin at all because we can work around the limit. 

Consensus only works until it doesn't. Then leadership is needed. I'm as anti-government as it gets, but this conspiracy crap is getting ridiculous. It's trivial to flip the switch that allows TOR routing, so individual nodes can turn it on or off depending on their security concerns. 

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, y'all are aggravating. I understand exactly why Gavin and Hearn released XT.

maybe Maggie Thatcher was right when she said "Consensus is the abdication of leadership."

You know I thought about this a lot today and had quite some reflections about it on twitter.

The leadership you refer to, it reminds me of Hayek. Here is what he had to say on the matter:

We must here return for a moment to the position which precedes the suppression of democratic processes and the creation of a totalitarian regime.

In this stage it is the general demand for quick and determined central government action that is the dominating element in the situation, dissatisfaction with the slow and cumbersome course of democratic processes which make action for action's sake the goal.

It is then the man or the party who seems strong and resolute enough to "get things done" who exercises the greatest appeal.

"Strong" in this sense means not merely a numerical majority - it is the ineffectiveness of parliamentary procedure with which people are dissatisfied.  What they will seek is somebody with such solid support as to inspire confidence that he can carry out whatever he wants.

Are we forgetting history and just about to repeat it? I sure hope not.

You get Austrian cred for quoting Hayek, but nobody is using, threatening or advocating physical force be used or initiated.  Leading is not the same as ruling.

I don't believe the "Final Solution" was included in the National Socialist party pamphlet either  

Yet, though the road be long, it is one on which it becomes more difficult to turn back as one advances.

Don't you think that's just a touch hyperbolic? Godwin's Rule is already in play?
