derp really is cyclical.
Some mustard-head just accidentally locked $180m in ETH in a buggy Parity multi-sig wallet.

That's funny. Not funny - haha. Funny - sick.

These ethtards just can't resist destroying the fundamental 'value' of their coin, can they?

Pikers.

who plays with $180m?!?!?! that absurd.

-BCH launched and changed one thing: The difficulty adjustment. The one thing they changed, is broken and has to be forked again to fix it...
-Segwit 2x is absolutely reckless and irresponsible: No replay protection...
-Bitcoin Gold guys wanted to add but don't even know how to build a replay protection...

Who in their right mind would even care for this...?

We'll likely have it sorted in a couple of weeks. To that day, let us all raise a toast!

And that's why BTC will be king...

Indeed. Whether the form be Bitcoin Segwit Core, Bitcoin Segwit 2X, Bitcoin Cash....
I remain incrementally increasing my bets.

Yeah. Part of the 'funny' is that these 'investors' were putting their money into 'inviolable contracts, governed not by the whims of humanity, but by the consistency of mathematics'.

Is Vitalik on the line? In either money or significant reputation cost? There's your indicator for how likely a complete roll back is engaged.

Quality meme, tough but fair. I approve of this

You might wanna look into what Jeff has done for the wider computing community -- gratis, and predating the existence of satoshi's whitepaper -- before you start slinging shit at his reputation or motivations.

F'ing lousy ingrates. Get some perspective.

Rosewater may have been a bit out of line. But Jeff is attacking our values, man.

according to an article on motherboard, it's 300 million, not 180.

Hey BMB, I've never had a beef with you. But exactly which of 'our values' do you believe 'Jeff is attacking'? I'd like you to be specific, as I used to have a rough idea about where your values may lie, and I think I may no longer. And the loss of understanding would be a shame.

I like you, too. But still..
My opinion is that this is an attack. Block size is a security setting, not a political football.

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

I mean, I could be wrong. Idk.

Go Bitcoin go!

You can fuck off with your "bitcoin segwit" bullshit, and your attempt to suggest that there is some other bitcoin, currently.

I'm a bit suprised by the venom in your response Jay. No offense was intended. Only to make a point that the segwit branch is just as much a fork as so called 'altcash' or 'bcash' (see what I did there). If there was such a consensus as you describe then bitcoin cash would not exist. Yet it does.  In your face.

As I already stated, I simply disagree with your attempt to describe some kind of rhetorical equality.  

There are attacks on the true and real bitcoin and anyhow, I already said what I had meant to say, so I doubt that there is anything further that is necessary from my end, because whatever you said does not help your case, including your supposed "in your face" retort that has NOT actually retorted anything of any substantial or material significance.  

You simply disagree but in a rude and aggressive manner. But thats OK I'm not particularly bothered about your vulgar language, I sometimes use expletives myself.

If you are not bothered by it, then why you wasting time bringing up such nonsense?   

 My in your face retort punctuated the fact that you have no rebuttal to my assertion that the mere existence of bitcoin cash proves you wrong when you state there was full consensus to implement segwit.

Your in my face retort is some kind of assertion that you believe that you have a show stopping argument or a slam dunk and you do not.

The mere existence of bitcoin cash does not prove any kind of meaningful or substantive point, except that a small group of renegade nutjobs decided that they were going to spend resources on a hardfork attack on bitcoin.

Second, I never stated that there was "full" consensus, and you are just making up new terms in order to create some kind of strawman argument.  There is no fucking thing as "full consensus" nor is such a thing required.

What happened is consensus happened around segwit, and that is all that matters.  Therefore, segwit reached consensus and was locked in in early August 2017, and was activated in late August.  If you want to remove segwit, then you need consensus in the other direction, which if you thought about it is not very fucking likely to happen.. because it already happened in the lock-in, activation and implementation direction, why the fuck would the community suddenly decide that they no longer want it?  Makes no sense, instead, stupid ass fuck job big blockers, like yourself, are trying to argue stupid points about segwit not having "full" consensus, and there is no such requirement.. and really do you ever think that there is going to be "full" consensus about anything?  There are always going to be a few stragglers who are objecting and complaining, but they are out of line with the vast majority (which in the segwit situation took 95% mining power to achieve such and at this point is water under the bridge).

I suppose I could have said fuck you or something like that though, might have been easier. But still you have no rebuttal.

Yeah, you could have said fuck you, but there would be no substance in such an emotional response.  So it does not help if you merely become emotional without adding any substantive meaning to your arguments (which would be adding factual claims or logical claims), and you need to have something to back up your fuck you, so stop taking matters so personally and learn how to recognize that these various ongoing BIG blocker forks and anti-segwit campaigning are attacks upon bitcoin and they are not equals to bitcoin (and they are generally inferior and supported by very small segments of the community attempting to rally broader space support or to get newbies into supporting them), and they are not in line with the overall bitcoin community (except to the extent that they may want to attack and infiltrate bitcoin and to the extent that they try to make astroturf attempt to look as if they are part of the bitcoin community), and that is why it seems to be a lot more fitting to be saying fuck you to those kinds  of ongoing attacks, rather than if someone were truly wanting to improve bitcoin without engaging in such ongoing sabotaging attempts.

A long time ago I have resolved not to put anyone here on ignore. Who knows? Perhaps eventually they would say something interesting or entertaining.

No one has ever quite tested my resolve like JayJay Wallsoftext, the undisputed master of using a gazillion words to say nothing at all 

[jojo69]

oh man, this new ETH situation looks like a no-joke clusterfuck
