You would think so - but still he continues to spout nonsense.

That's too difficult to understand. They've forgot why they needed a blockchain in the first place.

The problem is well known and quite simple, any member of totalitarian society is afraid of free vote. Actually, I think that such attacks against Gavin are no better than Gavin's attacks against Luke-Jr and BIP17 were. Maybe he deserved this, but who are we to judge him unconditionally?

I don't support this so-called "Bitcoin classic", this idea seems completely idiotic for me. But this is just an opinion and such issues should be resolved by vote. DDoS attacks, ad hominem statements or whatever similar tactics are no better than assassination of opposition figures in the real life. This kind of behaviour is childish and unconstructive.

With hashpower? If that's not to your liking, you can vote with your wallet & sell

For business decisions, people always vote with their feet. If they stop using it that's a No vote.

I really don't understand all the noise about blocksize when we aren't even at capacity yet and don't appear to be breaking any growth speed records. The market cap has been at $6.5b or less for years. When will this massive leap occur everyone seems to think is going to happen? I want to start saving up to buy more coin.

Because no one wants to invest in a payment network unable to process more than 2.7 tps?

If not a viable payment network, people lose interest. That's what the VC money went into, that's what investors (who bought coins) were banking on. Take away the "Trustless Cash" expectations, and Bitcoin becomes a castrated stud, as useful as Beanie Babies.
*Nothing to do with Satoshi worship.

Well - for anyone that sends money from one country to another Bitcoin is a miracle.

So people like you obviously don't have any experience with this problem therefore don't get why Bitcoin is actually very popular without being a payment network equivalent to VISA.

No - the math will decide (assuming we don't cower).

unlike your religion of blockstream church.. my implementation is for me and me alone. as i dont want to trust other people to make code for me.

i am pissed off with the drama of which religious band camp people should follow like sheep..

so i dont have a github as im not trying to start my own religion..

i will just leave you with a little sample that makes sense. as the variables i use else where would not make sense to you. and you would then ust clame hogwash


so, tell me

why do you think the religious church of the blockstream collective are the only ones that can make an implementation that works?
i thought ou were more open minded and that you would also prefer people to not blindly follow one source but be innovated enough to make their own (as long as it still meets the requirements to handshake and talk to the same network of nodes.

so ill ask you again
why is it impossible for others to make their own implementations that all work with the same chain??

again.. as you posted me questions on 3 posts
why is it impossible for others to make their own implementations that all work with the same chain??
