Final Statement of the meeting

On February 21st, 2016, in Hong Kong’s Cyberport, representatives from the bitcoin industry and members of the development community have agreed on the following points:

• We understand that SegWit continues to be developed actively as a soft-fork and is likely to proceed towards release over the next two months, as originally scheduled.
  
• We will continue to work with the entire Bitcoin protocol development community to develop, in public, a safe hard-fork based on the improvements in SegWit. The Bitcoin Core contributors present at the Bitcoin Roundtable will have an implementation of such a hard-fork available as a recommendation to Bitcoin Core within three months after the release of SegWit.

is the HF they are referring to a blocksize increase or a way of making segwit mandatory??

was this all for show?

"including an increase in the non-witness data to be around 2 MB, with the total size no more than 4 MB,"

still unclear, " non-witness data "  " total size no more than 4 MB" so 2MB for this segwit crap innovation, and +1MB to blocksize?? totaling 4MB??
why can't they just do this :


FFS!

We'll see what magic they pull out of their arses; or if miners go gangsta on them and make Matts hair turn....some other fucked up colour.

Is that Peter Todd?

i have never seen such a rapid pace in the price increase, i knew it might be fast but 5 dollars per hour is just insane

$5 insane? I guess you haven't been around long enough to see the legendary Bitcoin volatility at work. Here are a 2 consecutive Chartbuddies from the day of the Silk Road bust including the panic and the "dead cat" bounce. That was a lot of action for 2 hours.



In Bitcoinland what goes down must come back up.

and the price has stopped rising, it fell 5 dollars since the last automated post, i guess people were willing to see something better than this, they did all the work to create new speculations? thats crazy

This price stability is actually quite new to bitcoin also. The effects you are watching are the price to pay for long term stability. Speculators are not going to stabilize the price for free, after all.

tl;dr - without the extra liquidity and futures options the price would be far more volatile.

it would be nice to get some estimate as to how much hashing power behind this meeting

oh wait these are pool right?

hahahaha they own 0 hashing power

[iCEBREAKER]

I hope you've learned something here, besides what it feels like to be crushed by a 75,000 horsepower iCEBREAKER.

You'll always be a loser in my eyes.

If pouting helps you feel better about Classic losing the debate and getting #R3KT in exactly the way I told you would happen, go for it.

You probably also believe a tiny roomful of nerds eating sushi has the power to compel Honey Badger and commit him to future actions.

How sweetly naive, how adorably innocent.  

[adamstgBit]

this could get really ugly....
