We see after the weekend
He should set up a wallet like loaded and sign a message.
to see he is for real.
I only will be satisfied when i see a signed announcement on his twitter.
with a wallet with at least 40.000 BTC....
like loaded did.
and no excuses , only math and signing well help him here.

I have yet to receive any contact. Will be on vacation with spotty internet until Monday.

im sure Roger will reply as he already stated he's interested.

OP, if the minority chain is forced to change PoW, would that change the deal?

Give it up jonald


Changing the PoW should happen, too many miners have demonstrated they don't deserve their privileged position. But being forced isn't going to happen, pre-emptive graduated PoW change is the least disruptive way to do it, and I'm going to be making sure that everyone knows the major advantages to Bitcoin pre-emptively changing PoW will bring.


Your scare tactics won't work, your modus operandi has run it's course. No-one is ever going to accept an external hard-fork "improvement" attempt now, 3 times failed should be enough to prove that.


The emergency hard-fork is for genuine emergencies only, you've cried wolf too many times

I think that everyone sitting here calling Ver all sorts of names is quite disrespectful, quite the same as a bunch of libtards running around calling Trump a racist child molester, have some respect...

As far as signing an address with over 40k BTC, well, if I had that much BTC I highly doubt I would have it stored that centralized in a single address. I would probably have it distributed in a bunch of cold addresses containing 100-1000 BTC each..

I think it would be nice for Ver to sign a staked address of some sort with acceptance of the deal proving it's him and making it official, but what reason do any of you really have to doubt that it is Ver himself and not an impostor?

I opined that I don't think Ver will take the deal because I don't think it's a good deal for him, I think it is likely he could do better on the open market, but this deal being done by Ver and Loaded, plus anyone else that wants to join, is very good for Bitcoion ad BU..
If this amount of BTC/BTU can be swapped off market that is a whole lot less of each that will get dumped after the split helping both retain more value after the fact which is good for me because I'll probably just sit on my private keys for a while and see what happens, so this many coins out of the hands of dumpers is very good for my strategy..

Here's a lot of respect to both Loaded and Ver for their displays of conviction..
If I was Ver I might leave you all hanging on a string too, let the haters hate and just make me more famous, tease em for a bit..

Myself I don't think I personally stand with either BU or Segwit, I think they both have their merits and it's a shame they can't come together and implement both IMO..
I don't really want to see big blocks but no new tech, or new tech and not bigger blocks, I would much rather see bigger blocks without a hardcoded limit AND new tech..
I think a hardcoded blocksize limit is far from ideal as it pretty much guarantees another fight over a fork sometime in the future when we again need to scale..
LN, great, but I don't see that being very good for the average user like me..

It is what it is, I just hope you all pull your heads out of your asses before you destroy this grand experiment..

You have several thousands of shitcoins with various algos to chose. Privileged position? Miners are dirty workers, pay them more they will follow you.

I am so sick and tired of people's fears pushing them to change Bitcoin into a different Alt coin. Let Bitcoin remain the way it was created as a TESTament to Satoshi. SATOSHI wanted 1 MB blocks, not 2MB or unlimited block-size.

Let's see how Bitcoin performs against all the Alt coins many years later.

If people start using another coin for micro transactions SO WHAT! Everything has its place.

Thanks, yes, that look's pretty clear to me.
Loaded seem's to be saying something different, he want's to be able to review his position pre-swap, as i read it.

And why would I do that if Ver is giving me a full BTC?
