lauda your a segwit fanboy.. we know it you know it.. now move along
Wrong. So mentioning the planned features (signed by developers) makes me a fanboy (disregarding the fact that I did open a thread about it the day it was presented)?
lets talk about the real bitcoin blockchain where signatures are checked and no funny business is going on for the benefit of the few little people..
i said last year 3 options of the direction blockstream are going.. and it seems they want to not increase the block size ever.. force people to use non signatured transactions. then bloat the blocks with 250bytes of data to hide the values of each transaction. so that eventually bitcoins blockchain will only hold 2000 tx a block or less.. forcing people to not use bitcoins blockchain.. but blockstreams sql database known as liquid.
so you can keep pushing segwit all you like.. goodluck with it, see you when bitcoin is ruined
I don't see anything here but speculative nonsense that is not really related to the thread. Core developers can't force anything upon the users, the users and the industry make the choices.
fact not fiction
1. blockstream devs have already partnered up with mining pools: eligius pool, and btcc.com..
2. blockstream devs have already partnered up with a few exchanges too: Bitfinex, BTCC, Kraken, Unocoin, and Xapo
and once people are told they cant have their bitfinex withdrawals as they are SW liquids and not normal pre 2016 bitcoin transactions.. people will be forced to upgrade just to get their money back. then non upgraded users want to cashout to a xapo card, guess what xapo prefers SW liquid transactions too
so in the end the users have little choice but to convert or be left behind
