 #26101

another way to look at this is that are we (meaning ALL of us in the community) really prepared to be the real resistance fighters in this war on USD hegemony?  i'll admit right here that i am not.  i live here in the US, have a family to take care of, and i provide a valuable service to my community.  i am not prepared to sacrifice this.

This deserves a reply from me.

Finally some overt honesty from the man. This explains everything. He has compromised for pragmatic reasons. Thus I can understand very well. This is what I said upthread. Doctors are invested in the system. They can't disrupt it.

except i'm not making any transition to Monero.  oh well...

Your fate is clearly tied to the politicized NWO outcome.

that doesn't mean it won't happen though but is the reason for the extreme resistance to it's adoption from the economic majority who are currently invested in Bitcoin.

Astute. It is quite true that old money will resist change because it has a vested interest to do so, and even will resort to political leverage to make it so. And only technological disruption will force change.

In addition to potential technological disruption, there is also an internal war within Bitcoin now. If the antagonists don't compromise, Monero may be the beneficiary. Thus I assume they will compromise, except MP won't. MP must be short Bitcoin and long Monero. There is no other logical explanation, unless he is irrationally ideological (or a disinformation agent).

i find 21's two yr experience in mining very encouraging/exciting in anticipation of their ability to roll out relevant IOT asic chips, esp for smartphones.  that should drive things like batshit:

https://i.imgur.com/keXaz8c.png

21's mining use case shows that blocksize has no impact to miners at all.

The devices targeted for 21's mining rigs could not even handle 1MB blocks (let alone 20MB or 1GB), yet they can still mine. The reason is simple, miners using the stratum protocol only require <1kbps. It is the remote pool that needs to be manage full blocks. This remote pool can be anywhere, the miners themselves do not care about blocksize.

If 20MB blocks would hurt current miners, then 21's target devices wouldn't exist because they could not even handle 1MB blocks. But since miners only need to support stratum, blocksize has no impact.



 [Tongue] i think you are wrong, we need to centralize development for the reasons provided by a few Core Developers so they can maintained a decentralized network, you are siding with the ignorant masses if you can't understand why we cant increase the block size now [/ Tongue]

Looking forward to a 'Monero'-like ring signature sidechain and Lightning network sidechain as first working demonstrations for the force of the distributed sidechain solution of self-similar networks operating concomitantly at multiple scales transferring value effortlessly up and down the wealth cascade.

Shit this is too important to ignore. Actually I had been thinking this out over the past days.

Subsumption of all altcoin advantages into pegged Bitcoin side chains is a very powerful threat to avoiding NWO dominance.

At the end game, TPTB push all their zombies that use Coinbase, Circle, Paypal, Facebook, etc into a pegged side chain which is a centralized ledger with world bank control over the debasement rate. MP's defense plan is destroyed by the pegging.

Monero has no technological disruption scaling advantages over Bitcoin in terms of mining, thus subsumption into a pegged Bitcoin side chain is imminent. Whereas a coin with scalable mining AND protections against implemention of pegged side chains (if that is possible, on my todo list to research the Blockstream whitepaper federation proposal) would not be implemented as a pegged Bitcoin side chain without losing the protection. Thus such a coin would garnish support from all those who want to resist the NWO outcome. Or they buy the pegged side chain version, because unlike other pegged side chains which can't resist 50% attack, such a side chain could survive alongside the cabal NWO side chain. However they may not be inclined to invest in the pegged side chain version of such a coin design, because they lose the upside ROI of such a novel design. Thus I am fairly confident that I possess the killer design which resists this subsumption. Blockstream is attempting to destroy the economics of altcoin, but I have an ace up my sleeve.

That in a nutshell is how this battle is going to play out. You read it first here. Don't forget who told you first.

The wildcard is if GavinCoin proceeds and there is a war now against MP et al. That might open a (probably short-term) window for Monero.

in the end, Bitcoin with larger blocks is what will win.  sidechains will die and take Blockstream with it.

Sorry but the zombie masses who will use Circle, Coinbase, Paypal, Facebook, 21 Inc devices, etc.. won't care when their coins are processed in a centralized pegged side chain (with large blocks).

bitcoin will get larger blocks, just not now, "not tonight dear" ... sidechains are inevitable because they are a logical evolution of the technology (if you study self-similar network properties arising from the emergent behaviours due to self-interested individual elements you will know this), with or without blockstream (i'm picking with at this point in time).

stop with the toxic bullshit marcus.  this has nothing to do with the Hippocratic Oath as much as you'd like to twist it to be.

what's more serious is are you accusing the reporter of being inaccurate?  on what basis?

...

Bitcoin as a backing for sidechains is eminently compatible with Bitcoin as MP's personal wealth playground.

I dunno if MP is a fraction of the Mr. Big that he and his minions proclaim but I suspect there is at least something to the assertion.  Certainly they are active and certainly they are among the most technically competent and economically literate of the ecosystem participants.

Last time I was paying much attention (early 2015 iirc) MP's seemed fairly allergic to the idea of the masses benefiting by Bitcoin and to the extent that they might by using a Bitcoin-backed sidechain and he seemed to have some resistance for that reason.  I wrote it off to his psychological need to broadly advertise himself as the worlds biggest prick.  I suspect that this need will take a second seat to his recognition that sidechains working as advertised give him vastly more power than vanilla Bitcoin alone.  One way or another, Hearn's fork is a genuine threat to him (and humanity) and something worth fighting off with as much energy, cost, and collateral damage as necessary.

With sidechains now live on testnet, XT ain't gonna happen.  Support for larger blocks among the redditards will taper off as they are distracted by Blockstream's shiny new Thing, especially if the price begins to recover upward momentum.

We will see if your prediction that quasi-permanent 1MB blocks and sidechains will DOOOM BTC turns out to be true, because that's the path we're going down.  Good thing I have silver and XMR hedges in place to compensate for such a scenario.

So you are implicitly asserting he will agree to lose the decentralized, pseudonymous characteristic of Bitcoin? Because once the masses are on a pegged side chain with mandatory KYC, the miniscule minority Core chain can be 50% attacked to force it to have the KYC attribute (which means it is also effectively centralized).

Come on now, haven't you seen where this has all been headed?

MP may be a disinformation agent too. Anything is possible. His public role is the Hegelian dialectic employed by TPTB.
