Yeah sure, but don't you want to be informed of the situation so you can make the right decision when that happen? You and everybody here.

What exactly do you think I am not "informed about" - the hostile takeover attempt or something else?

You base this upon what analysis?

The blocks are not nearing 1MB apart from spam attacks (probably organised by those trying to push for bigger blocks).

Bitcoin has *failed* to make any impact on the remittance market whatsoever (despite that being the #1 thing it should be doing) and you can't blame that on the block size.

Perhaps you could do some actual research before you post nonsense?

There's a reddit post linking to this thread so we can have some further analysis on reddit as well as some more opinions.

-edit-: it was downvoted into oblivion.

I'm interested to see how reddit will respond though as it seems there's been a lot of circlejerking there onr/bitcoin with anti-theymos things leading to heavy pro-XT feelings. That's not how discourse should go and it's leading to Coinbase having way too much power.

I consider lengthily debate as a good thing but at some point it has to come to an end. Some businesses have put december as a deadline and all the people that want to move away are waiting for that deadline to move at the same time which is natural.

The situation is now this, some people considered the status quo as a consensus and firmly sit on it. while in fact, it is not. Now those on want to move are about to make a move because the other side is taking advantage of the status quo and are unwilling to give an inch, in a timely matter. Ignoring the "time" variable is where you people failed at reaching a consensus. There is still a month remaining though so the ball is in your camp.

Hashrate will follow where the money is. I am not worried about that.

If china doesn't follow (which I would be surprised) there will be new pools and fresh new hashrate to get that money. So no, it does not worry me.

We don't wanna play bals with you shills.

I'm afraid December will come and you parasites will hang around without ever admitting your crushing defeat

The small blocks are the "current thing" so they are not something that is to be "forced upon anyone" (they are the current situation).

This is typical "double-speak" from a shill (if you don't want to be so obvious a shill then improve your attacks).

Yes - everyone who has a brain "knows" this but the shills keep trying to push this as they hoping that somehow the ignorant masses might get behind them.
