What is sad is that they are supposedly scrambling to setup 10k nodes to prevent this hardfork

Not that I'm unamused by the mythology growing around our efforts, but this just isn't true. The pogo project is just one of many ways #bitcoin-assets is actually supporting bitcoin. We recognize that the security of the network depends on a proliferation of full nodes, and that there is a shortage of full nodes. Rather than flap our hands about codebase changes that would hinder the spread of full nodes, we are producing an inexpensive unit that anyone can plug into their router to help secure the network. And even this, you retards manage to spin as a bad thing.

From your own mouth:

The "10k nodes" was suggested by nubbins`, not MP. Some of us in -assets are testing the unit out, but no substantial quantities have been purchased. Regardless, the purpose of this device is partly to combat the hard fork. The fact that they are incompatible with gavincoin is by design; they are meant to be as cheap and easy to set up as possible. This ties back into my past comments about people who actually care about bitcoin; the people who actually care are researching ways to make the average american retard capable of running a full node out of his home internet connection. Meanwhile, derps like Gavin are actively trying to hinder this cause.

So my comments are specifically supported by your own statements. Do you care to retract your statement now and be more honest with the community?

How have I contradicted myself? The purpose of the device is to increase bitcoin security. Gavincoin is not bitcoin.

In order for the device to support the fork, it would have to cost several times more. As it stands, the thing will probably cost somewhere between 20 and 100 dollars (not including the cost of electricity and bandwidth), and it will take weeks if not months to sync with the network.
