now can i ask you, is segwit coin really necessary?
is peter toad smarter than satoshi?
what side are you on and why?
thanks m8
IMO what was laid out 9 years ago doesn't have to be the be all and end all of bitcoin, over time, especially in the information sector, things change and grow. Segwit improves apon the origonal code in a way that perhaps Satoshi didn't even think about way back then, it fixes the malleability and quadratic scaling issues, increases transaction throughput and does this without the need of a hardfork. Its not about siding with whos smarter than who, you dont have to pick one team and block everyone else out, even entry level coders can come up with incredibly elegant solutions sometimes just because they aren't locked into the existing status quo.
None of the current proposals are good long term solutions and maybe bigger blocks will be necessary but its something that is being rushed unnecessarily at the moment. Personally for the main chain I believe that after segwit is activated we should wait and see what affect it has while continuing to work on other solutions like block size increases and other future bug fixes then, when and if it is deemed necessary, roll out as many of these improvemnts as possible in a single hardfork and only after the code has been thoroughly tested and peer reviewed. I dont think hardforking should be something that is taken lightly.
The beauty of bitcoin is that no one owns it and I can almost guarantee that is why Satoshi has publically dissapeared from the scene because he knows that if he were a public figure his opinion would be the final say on bitcoins future and I believe that in the end that goes against everything that he and bitcoin is about... decentralisation.
im not cutting anyone out, i got both versions of btc lol,, its the people that dumped for "free money" that may regret when they realise bcc is closer to the real btc
i used to agree with what you are saying, until i began looking into it deeper.
This 2 tier debate was happening at the start and satoshi believed we dont need another layer, btc can scale itself.
If it were up to toad and co we wouldnt have even had 1mb blocks, they tried to stop it going up so many times and when it did they were proven wrong.
Now, the thing is there has never been any proof that a 2tier system is better, and it does (segwit) lead to a more centralised version of btc.
bcc has bigger blocks, they are here and as time passes imo they will prove satoshi was right.
We all want whats best for the system overall and to me bitcoin should be pure and bcc is that, anything else ...go use an alt-coin.
(you said) I can almost guarantee that is why Satoshi has publically dissapeared from the scene because he.....
(i say).... Satoshi has publically dissapeared from the scene because he prob realised he was wasting to much time and energy fighting a growing list of trolls lol.
