F2Pool: "Segwit will be a disaster."

[Alex.BTC]

Whatever delusions help you sleep at night kiddo.

Blockstream must really care about you. /s

Who cares about EC, it's just one of the many proposals.

Well, obviously he's FUDing. First time he twitted implying he was going to withdraw the segwit support. But he shorted before that message for profit, proof https://twitter.com/f2pool_wangchun/status/852510528664621056

Now he's trying to accumulate more LTC at a lower price, therefore he's FUDing again.

Those guys can't even write proper english, and they think they have enough understanding of coding and so on to defy the opinion of 100% of experts in the field. Looks like common sense doesn't add up. He is just testing his twitter-influence over price again. Miners are really good for nothing goons.

And you can't even do basic maths.
100% of experts in the field?
SegWit has even less support than BU on the only number that matters, hash rate:
Bitcoin Unlimited blocks: 362  ( 36.2% )
SegWit blocks: 278  ( 27.8% )

In pure tech, here is one expert's opinion on why SegWit is total garbage:
'Segregated Witness is the most radical and irresponsible protocol upgrade Bitcoin has faced in its eight year history':
https://medium.com/the-publius-letters/segregated-witness-a-fork-too-far-87d6e57a4179

13 links on why SegWit is just sub par:
https://medium.com/@SegWit/segwit-resources-6b7432b42b1e

In features, FlexTrans is superior to SegWit in every way.

Segwit, rejected by who? A couple of chinese miners. Literally.

The rest are in with segwit:

The market has spoken. Segwit goes up = price goes up.

The fact has changed, To complete my curiosity.

Why were we need UASF if the majority of nodes are supporting it?
The miners have played the consensus. What the fuck is that?

Anti-segwit, pro-BUcoin supporters are now officially fighting against reality. We didn't sign up for JihanCoin.

I'm not a part of that shit.  

That link is reflecting Jihancoin.

Speaking the truth means he'll get DDoSed soon.
Just like BU nodes.

F2pool's been advertising a bit 3 soft fork flag which isn't recognised by any BIP, and have had EXTBLK in their coinbase after their initial april fool's coinbase joke. Presumably this post of his: "Despite community divide, R&D effort in past yrs on scaling mustn't be ignored. Now we've more knowledge how to do it effectively&securely." is referring to extension blocks.

What would you expect from people that are being bought and paid for by their king and savior Daddy Ver? I wouldn't think he'd be finding people that are actually qualified, those types of people can't be fully bought and paid for.

God, I guess if I'm just being paid tons and tons of money from Ver I'd be making such retarded claims and even take a hit on reputation for a while until they can all get enough support to push their BU G Coin bullshit down our throats.

Fuck a Ver, Fuck a BU,

LONG LIVE SEGWIT, JOIN ON THE TRAIN MINERS!

Gosh if miners cared more about Bitcoin surviving they'd know Segwit it the place to go.

[leopard2]

Ergh.

The fact that BU and ASICBOOST are shit, does not automatically mean that Segwit is good.

Wish they would just fix the bugs and do 2MB blocks for now...Let's see how LTChikun deals with Segwit for a year or so. 

extension blocks looking better every day

For me, it looks like F2Pool is trying to win time until another significant move in the blocksize debate happens (UASF, or a possibility of some kind of "Flippening" that puts in danger their business model).

It looks like they are totally OK with the actual situation (relatively full blocks, high fees) and want to extend it until there is absolutely no way to not support one of the antagonic factions. If that is true, they can safely signal support for extension blocks because this proposal is not backed by other of the larger mining pools. Maybe they are even truely OK with extension blocks, but for now perhaps that doesn't matter, it may be simply part of their strategy to conserve status quo.

[pooya87]

to me, the only reason to make such a tweet (very similar to what he did with litecoin) is to manipulate the price. i wouldn't even be surprised to find out there was more to it that we know, such as him being paid by some market makers to cause some volatility this way (same way he did with litecoin).

[mr.mister]

Jihan Wu is the only problem Bitcoin is facing. Lets get together, and get off of the antpool and his cloudming at hashnet. He has imbedded so much garbage on his chips, how do we know that he has not inbedded worms, trojans, viruses, and other malicious bugs?


Can Jihan Wu be trusted?? The answer is clearly NO!

Miners are evil. Except miners who run Core.

feels like the lies are crumbling... we are close to winning.

If you state that DDoS is your greatest weakness, you can expect to be attacked regardless of what or who you are supporting.

There is no such thing as the "Flippening". That's a term made up by the r/btc sub and their fanatics. It is very clear that they support shady altcoins.

Can Jihan Wu be trusted?? The answer is clearly NO!

Correct.

feels like the lies are crumbling... we are close to winning.

There is no "we" and there is no "winning". All you can do is fork into the BTU altcoin that may get listed on some exchanges. The positive outcome here is that Segwit would activate on the real BTC chain.

What is it going to do? Infect the stratum server, then the blockchain?

His equipment works on a network. What if, in very small amounts, he was able to divert your payments to his pockets, covertly, just like he is using a similar technology to AsicBoost?

what you are talking about is schnorr signatures(more precisely mimbleswimbles OWAS).. but guess who really really really wants them as part of bitcoin

[Loganota]

Segwit will be a disaster. I am not going to support it on BTC because I am a bitcoin HODLER. Meanwhile, I do not have a single litecoin.

One major reason why I had to support Segwit on Litecoin it is because I scare DDoS too much.

To what extent is Bitcoin decentralized? Too bad Satochi did not predict that miners would take over Bitcoin as it is today. Let's see where it goes.

[cpfreeplz]

Lol luckily these places aren't just run by one person right? So they'll have to all agree on what to do. I thought they supported segwit though??

This is how Proof of work is designed. Users depend on miners who provide network security.

Welcome to Proof of stake if you're tired of this dependence.

[gentlemand]

I'm not really inclined to believe a word that comes out of his tweets going by his track record. The longer it drags on the more locked in some type of user inspired fork becomes.
