I remember "Frodo and Gollum", but it's been a really long time since thinking about them.
Star Wars references might be more meaningful to the average Bitcoin nerd.

There you go again.

That's exactly the kind of "poutraged pique and self-pitying sulking" I was talking about.   

I hope you can move onto the Acceptance phase of the Klassique grieving process very soon.

@Roger/Memory Dealers: can you confirm or deny that your very good friends at LRN.fm were thrown out of the Free State project for advocating sex with children? Can you confirm or deny your continuing friendship with those individuals at LRN.fm that advocate sex with children?

Do you still take that self-proclaimed shit seriously? Roger Ver cannot turn around now, and say he supports Core, because he created a whole alternative forum for people who are against it. He now profits from this venture with the  hosting of a Casino from the same site.

His whole angle seems to be for profitability and what he can get out of the deal. I would think twice before I follow him into oblivion, like the disciples on his site. ^smile^

is this true? that would make him among the top 5 bitcoin holders. insane amount of money he got there

Because Roger Ver is among those a few people that really understand bitcoin's potential. Programmers seldom look away from their technical worries, they care about how the car works, but are not able to see where the car is going

The blocksize debate is not a technical issue, it exposed several long existing problem of bitcoin: Mining centralization, development centralization and lack of consensus based decision making mechanism regarding protocol change. And what core programmer is doing is to make these problems worse, their solutions create more and more centralization incentive, especially in R&D. If bitcoin is centralized in the hands of a few guys, government and law enforcement will take down them in a couple of hours, then the whole system will just collapse like e-gold or liberty reserve

real translation:

And Franky's "solutions" frequently call for... a centralised dev team that codes Bitcoin into the way he likes (which centralises the network, not the dev team).


It's simple really:

BigBlockers want a centralised network, and decentralised "anyone can commmit" code repos

Core supporters want a decentralised network, and accept that ALL DEVELOPMENT IS CENTRALISED, there is no practical way to decentralise development for a given piece of software without sacrificing the quality/functionality of the software.



So Franky, your ideas are literally moronic and counter to the functioning of the Bitcoin network. He knows it, and is pretending not to. Franky1 is a disingenuous troll.

lol

my solution is for there to be MANY dev teams.. EG the miners have their own codebase that follows the main rules but has their own preferential settings and interfaces, bitpay, and other merchants having their own codebases..

its you blockstreamers that want core to be the only codebase available.

you are right that bigblockers want a centralized network.. afterall true bigblockers are the core/blockstreamers if you actually look at the size of the data they want in their roadmap.. and their centralized networks are LN and sidechains.. all coded by blockstream.

and finally you admit that core followers know and accept that their code base is centralized.. but are still blind to not see the practical ways to decentralize development while maintaining the quality/functionality of bitcoin..

i know you emphasised "software" but that just you trying to meander bitcoin to being the same as "blockstreams Intellectual Property software".

bitcoin should not belong as just one codebase/software.  bitcoin should have several dev teams making their own software that all talks to the same network.

in short,bitcoin should not just be a piece of software, bitcoin should not be owned by blockstream.. blockstream(core) should have no power to allow or disallow change.

but your comments are obvious that yo want blockstream central domination.. shame on you
i know you want to say that other dev teams are the corporate shills.. but you should give that game up, blockstreams partners have been revealed.. its to late to pretend they dont exist
