As seen as an adult from above - you can solve this only with a proper compromise and with re-union of the community.

I am.


Wins how?  Is SegWit activated?


Perhaps. Or perhaps not.  Time will tell.


And you don't see a problem with that? Isn't bitcoin supposed to be more open than that?


Bigly?  Nah.  Just a small bug.  It's happened to Core as well.  They aren't gods. They're just human like the rest of us, and have their own share of bugs in the past.


Perhaps.  Perhaps not.  It would be interesting to find out.


Can't argue with logic like that.


You've got a strange definition of "expert" there.  Perhaps it would be better if Core would behave as adults and start signaling for larger blocks?

Lucifer and Crawly king of hell lol. Are you sure we would've ended up like ETC/ETH? like everyone could profit 10% on their stashed bitcoins instantly?
I think not. good thing about open source always majority wins but if you put it that way then the majority is the central authority only with the exception that everyone is free and capable to join or become part of the majority.

And you're very unwise. This event demonstrates how prone BU is to forking the blockchain: very


If you actually believe that giving every user the ability to essentially write and promote their own chain fork, then you deserve everything you'll get backing it. And what you'll get is severely diminished asset value from your UnlimitedCoins. Have fun with that

I support my QT with deprecated alerts

I support BU. Run it too.

As measured by hash rate, more and more continue to run BU as well.

So sad for you.

This is probably one of the best ideas, however I don't know if it would be worth having a bunch of patches like that. What I'm thinking is that;

Team A puts up patch X for a vote (essentially)
Patch X is supported by (%) of the community and passes
Team B puts up patch Y for a vote, to be applied alongside patch X
Patch Y does not reach (%) support and is removed
Team C puts up patch Z
Patch Z passes
The result is patch XZ, which is then applied.

Not great, and might go against some of what Bitcoin is, but your idea sounds bretty gud

I find it entertaining to see franky1 and I on the same side of an issue.

nope.
because that means for upto 12 months months the community has to run team A software to get patch X enabled
then the community has to jump over to team B to get Y enabled.
then the community has to jump over to team C to get Z enabled.

however
having ALL THE TEAMS allowing ALL proposals/patches.. means no node flip flopping or 'favourite brand and im sticking to it' civil wars.

because its no longer about "favourite brand" .. its just about code. because you can get xyz in A..  AND in B...
none of this drama of everyone jump to brand A for six months.. everyone jump to brand B for 6 months.

its all the same.. ALL nodes could/should flag X,Y,Z at same time. and whenever they get to 95% it activates.
which also removes the wait in the queue delay tactics of 'we wont do Z untill 2019. because 2018 is dedicated to Y and 2017 is dedicated to X

all proposals can be flagged simultaneously(concurrently) and not staggered(consecutively) by ALL nodes
and they spark into life when 95% is achieved.

imagine it this way.
you want a well cooked Steak, chunky fries, and some salad on the side.

logically.
you wont want to go to a steakhouse to get the steak. then drive to a chunky fries takeaway to get the fries.. and then drive to a salad grocer..

you want to go to one of 20 restaurants that offer it all on one plate..

secondly.
you wont want to sit at such a restaurant and instead of just asking for "a well cooked Steak, chunky fries, and some salad on the side."
you begin asking for the steak.. and then get interupted by the waitress and told to wait for the steak to cook before she takes the rest of your order.
the steak gets cooked. and then as soon as you say the word chunky fries, she interupts you again and tells you to wait for the fries to cook..
then when cooked.. you then mention the salad

logically you want to be able to make all your choices in one go. and be able to enjoy your meal when its prepared.

however yakamoto.. the idea of downloadable 'patches' addons. or even just a built in 'settings->options' window to manually change things.. in a user friendly manner for average joe would be of benefit. again to not need to have the 'band camp' games

sgwit doesnt offer faster confirmations..
segwit doesnt offer much but temporary empty gestures of moving forward.

segwit does offer a preliminary tweak to bitcoin to then enable permissioned transactions. (which effectively end up feeling to averag joe like they are just using paypal/banks)
