Will you be supporting any efforts to kill off the 1mb chain after the fork?

If the minority end up using the 1MB chain, it will become just another altcoin. To my knowledge Gavin doesn't actively engage in destroying altcoins that I'm aware of, unless others know different.
Of course if the minority choose the 20MB, that will become the altcoin.

I would do that if I were a developer like this "Gavin". I would create Bitcoin 2.  what can be wrong in that? BTC should be like any other "currency". right? BTC 2 = other "virtual currency". it's like you will use USD and EURO

Gerald Davis is wrong. Here's why:

http://trilema.com/2015/gerald-davis-is-wrong-heres-why/

To fork or not to fork? That's not even the question..

MP is a sensationalist and he likes drama and attention. In my view in business and in ecosystems there are no people, there are only ideas. Starting his article mentioning the person behind the idea is simply bad intended from the start. Right after that he starts praising MPEx which again has absolutely nothing related to the main idea and to the main subject of a bigger block size.

After filling half of the article with useless nonsense about MPEx he reverts to a journalistic move in order to divert the attention from the subject which is to reveal something sensational and he chose to reveal that regular users will need 914TB of storage in order to pay for their coffee. I have already answered to this stupid and non-existing issue. We will develop a way of not needing that amount of storage for regular coffee buyers.

Afterwards he starts pushing his view of the blockchain. For a decentralized thing people trying to limit things their way isn't so good. Gavin is only trying to not limit things and to have large open doors for everyone. Keeping a 1MB block limit is a bad intended and limiting move.

In the end of the shit article MP closes with:

If Bitcoin can't pay for its own security, it is best to find this out sooner rather than later.

Bitcoin security will be insured by the services running on top of it and allowing services to run on top of Bitcoin by increasing the block size limit will definitely insure security no matter what.

there are MANY other ALTCOINS who are not limited as BTC. why don't  you use them ?

That's exactly what imaginary worlds are, only ideas.

"Let's increase the size of blocks now and create problems, for which we may or may not find a solution, later. But that's ok, later is not now, right?"

"Let's increase the size of blocks now and create problems, for which we may or may not find a solution, later.

As opposed to "Let's never address future problems and almost guarantee that the network won't be able to cope with the number of transactions later by crippling it with an arbitrary limit. But that's ok, later is not now, right?"  

Fork sounds good compared to falling behind on purpose.

[Buffer Overflow]

I think he is loling at you not with you.

Yeah I know that.
I did consider pushing the "time and place" for my defense angle, but thought better to just admit defeat on that one as I can think of a few scenarios I could of been dug into a hole.

Win some, you lose some.

Did you still not managed to blow it up?

Why does this take so long?

Sure, but the history of D&T is not needed when discussing this subject. MP's intro is useless and is only there in order to add to the wow factor. His only argument against the fork is the big storage space needed which is not an issue. I was expecting more from MP and I consider that this particular post is bad PR for him.

Not finding a solution is out of the question. Period.

Lucky the world didnt follow your advice otherwise we would still transport goods with camel.

[homo homini lupus]

You are running in circles. There won't be consensus with this community of greedy and selfish basdards everywhere.

Gavin should just release his Gavincoin on the open market as new chain and everyone is happy. (it's going to die within months and rest with the other shitcoins)

What's that cult you have there about that btc-chain?
Blockchains aren't scarce. It's totally overpriced. People are so stupid to buy these expensive coins and make such a upheaval about it.

Just release altcoins and hype them! It's the same. There is no significant difference between Bitcoin and all the other shitcoins. NONE. Never will be.

Sidechains?
Will be in altcoins immediately too.

Hashrate?
Merge mining gives you all the hash you want

Gavincoin bloat?
Nobody wants it so it won't occure in altcoins - if it turns out to not kill BTC a better version of it will occure in an altcoin

so what the fuck are you all about this bitcoin-chain like a tribe of apes?

The only problem here is: Gavin can't handle high marketcap. He needs to have a very low marketcap because he's got no clue about his investors.
Give that guy some shitcoin to play with. Bitcoin is likely too expensive with this management. They can't handle it and don't know how to treat investors.

what problem? (s)?!

pro's just going to try the attritition strategy on the con's but it won't work

so this discussion could last years

The whole human evolution is based on trial and error and you want to negate and stop that? It will not happen your way.

You are running in circles. There won't be consensus with this community of greedy and selfish basdards everywhere...

You whole post has no argument besides the bloatchain. Am I wrong? Do you have any other argument or you just like the shit that you throw?

Yes you are wrong. My main argument was you bahave like an ape an that's why this is going nowhere. But of course that must have escaped your attention.
