Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Competing implementations that didn't threaten to break the protocol would be nice.

Am I asking too much?

Shouldn't we just call them competing deferential to The One True Consensus implementations, then?

...
I'm just wondering how Back is going to sell this to the true believers without have them ragequit.
...

This very question was posed by, and, in turn, confounded The Nuns in The Sound of Music.

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find the word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

The threat would be the change in management. Seems like that ought to be enough.

There is going to be a change in management no matter what. Wladimir's insistence on near unanimity means Core will not ratify this agreement under current rules. If they stick with the rules, Core itself is out on it's ass. 

Blocks are full now. This needs to happen toot sweet or we face either stagnation or network congestion failure.  Core had time to deal wit this. they squandered it.  Now they are under the gun and have no one to blame but themselves.

the devs have little choice but cater to the miners, and the miners have little choice to cater to the users.

Here's a thing: Core is working on things like confidential transactions and stealth BIP's. Do you think Armstrong and company have any interest in privacy?

[billyjoeallen]

We've been getting full blocks all day.  Armstrong may be right that a HF in 2017 is too little too late.

wheres brg444 when you need him

full blocks != end of the world

[blunderer]

the devs have little choice but cater to the miners, and the miners have little choice to cater to the users. people with fiat to buy their tokens, because God knows all you hodlers can offer them is the very BTC they're trying to unload

Your typo is fixed.

I used to hold dear that delusion too, till it got dashed against the rock.

Of course not, but scaling is more urgent.

if we actually start filling 4MB blocks completely full by 2017

how high is price going to be?

That's a judgment call I'm not prepared to make.

I agree, but it could = the end of this rally. Or every rally from here on out.

so long as the full blocks are temporary so is this effect
and speculation that it's only temporary should further reduce this effect.

If there is strong community support, the hard-fork activation will likely happen around July 2017.

~not tonight dear...

 

Blockstream is never to be underestimated. They literally didn't move an inch and everyone is circle jerking "the great compromise"... incredible. What a wet noodle the miners turned out to be... so much for that childish delusion I used to hold.

Watching fatty lose his principles for a $20 $19 $15 relief rally was the hardest part. 

GG guys... GG

[adamstgBit]

this thing is really gonna fly.

this is gentlemen!

This is the company that tried to patent Hot Wallet for heaven's sake!

No, wait. Wrong company. My mistake.
