Bitcoin Dynamic!

Now that sounds like an awesome name for an altcoin!

If capacity remains constant but use increases (the situation now), we have a DECREASING capacity relative to demand and diminishing room for growth.  That is an untenable situation. Something's gotta give.

It seems to be much better for bitcoin to grow slowly and also much better not to be too rash in attempts to change governance...

I'm curious how bad/urgent a problem would have to be before you thought a change in governance was appropriate.

Maybe to the extent to which governance is broken, is a problem that has recently been attempted to be created.

Maybe yes, maybe no. It is certainly possible that the governance issue is being used as a vehicle to promote some other political agenda.

The way to find out is the separate the issue from others and see whether a change in governance, by itself, and without the baggage of simultaneously proposing immediate changes to the software or chain rules, has any support.

Call for a vote of no confidence in Wladimir? I'm down.

There is no way to hold such a vote because the existing project organization has no governance rules that would allow it. To change the governance procedure, you have to fork the project and propose a new organization with different governance rules (and get support otherwise you are forking nothing but your own mind), but that doesn't mean you have to fork the chain.

how can blockstream fail? the game is rigged. lol

such a whiner when it comes down to it ... you can't handle the truth ... "the game is rigged, please make them stop wah, wah" ... wait i need to delete some more truthiness before I look too stoopid.

it is really offensive to all the Core devs who have built this thing for free mostly (what did you do exactly?!) that you think blockstream can dictate.

you crassic lusers are such whiner lusers ... maybe time to just piss off and join Hearn if you don't like the rules or haven't got anything better to add??

I whine because i care.
but you're right at this point we should all just fork off...
i do believe thats what we are leading up too
there may be no avoiding it

...

Why would a governance change be appropriate?

Loss of market share? check.

Loss of six year logarithmic uptrend in price? Check

Gridlock in decision-making? check.

Loss of essential properties such as decentralization, anonymity, sufficient capacity and censorship resistance? check

What more do we fucking need?  How is it not obvious that this is a full-on, five alarm clusterfuck?

so it was always about governance? you big blocker shills have been led on a merry dance of lies, useful idiots in a coup attempt, just admit it.

Does that mean you don't think it's a clusterfuck or that you do but don't care?

bitcoin is unaware of your socialist clusterfecks and human induced conflicts ... in the last 24 hours it processed 215k TX worth $1.2 billion in the most borderless, censorship-resistant, cheapest and secure method on the planet.

I need ideas

what kind of indicators would be useful to you for bitcoin trading from the shill drama?

shill post vs total posts on the board?

doing a kind of shill posting analyzing tool

yes, please start doing something like this ... i use anecdotals already and pretty sure that shill posting is timed with manipulative market dumps, perhpas pumps also.

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

But deleting posts is for faggots. Innit tho?

if you small blocker truly believe the shit you say you should from a group that wishes to lower block limit to 0.5MB.

you'll get more decentralization and security, for everything else there's the Lighting Network promiseland.

I know that you know that most people want bigger blocks - sooner or later.
Why keep saying stuff like this?

I blurt shit out when i'm stressed and angry.

people are angry because they are coming to the realisation that we are all small blockers now 

first it was wtf 20MB is fine!, then ok mebbe 8MB is coolest ... now it is 'pretty please can we haz 2MB?' ... the big blockers stuffed up when they didn't show support for BIP 103 (20% increase per annum starting in Jan 16), now they have created enough noise and contention that 2MB is a 'big deal'.

Bitcoin is the leper with the most toes. Clearly worrying about it's health is fearmongering. Is that your best argument?
