xt, classic, btcd, btcc, statoshi, core, knots, BU etc should all be on the same level playing field in regards to a open community of PEER REVIEW
Who is playing the Utopian dream scenario now?
You can't really have that if some* players attempt to diverge from the protocol without attaining prior consensus from the whole network.
xt, classic, btcd, btcc, statoshi,
core, knots, BU
the ones not crossed out want consensus and happily not put in deadlines. and nodes have not decided to split off in the 2+ years of their implementations being running on mainnet.
however core 0.13.1+ and knots.. bypassed consensus by going soft
willing to split the minority off once reaching 95% (bip9 allows this)
and at worse split at a lower threshold UASF
so im guessing your 'if some* players' has the * referring to core and knots.
after all (which you know because i quoted it to you many times) gmaxwell actually invited the non core implementations to split off ages ago and they all laughed in his face.
non core implementations want to use bitcoins consensus to keep to a single network.
its only core that is shouting opposite to point the blame in the other direction when they themselves pull the ban hammer trigger
Careful what you wish for, unless you have a warehouse full of asics at the ready.
Two words: PoW change.
so logically
blockstream proposals:
removing PoW
removing changing native keys to segwit keys
removing changing peer-to-peer to peer-to-LN
removing node consensus for pool only consensus
bypassing pool only consensus by having upstream filter FIBRE activated UASF
can you not see the big picture?
all thats then left is for them to stroke their sheep into agreeing to a nice licence..
(sarcasm) Hmmm.. i wonder have they hinted they are going to swap to a new licence(we know they have)
oh look so they have
