you think mpcoin will win, because you think the economic majority is on mpex. i dont think so.
Bitcoin is exquisitely engineered to provide all manner of leverage to those defending against hostile forks. It is beyond ultra-conservative; it is unapologetically royalist and reactionary.
MP and his Knights Of Satoshi will be fighting a downhill battle to secure the network, with the sun blinding the enemy and the invisible hand obliterating the aggressors faster than they can retreat.
"In Winterfell 500 men can hold out against 10,000." -Ned Stark
why do you think the other side doesnt take this issue at heart and fight for it too?
I never said Team Gavin doesn't take this issue to heart, nor that they won't also fight for their pretender Fork's ascendence to the throne.
But the contours of the battlefield favor the defender. GigaBloatCoin's attack surface is orders of magnitude larger than sweet little Bitcoin's.
EG: MP's doublespend exploit weapon is devastating and AFAIK no counter to it has been proposed.
This is all exactly as Lord Satoshi intended. The patient, wise, and strong will feast on the hubristic failures of the eager, greedy, and weak.
Remember, MP & Co. have the resources and expertise to play the long game and wage a Winter War against numerically superior GigaBloatCoiners.
GavinCoin may win a Pyrrhic victory, but only at tremendous expense and as the result of a potentially fatal Great Schism.
you mad me laugh
but still.. we will see. as i said i will just keep my bitcoins and see what happens. so from a monetary point of view there is not much that can happen to me (except that there is a timeframe where i cant use them...but hodling)
The only way to truly win this game is not to play.
yes, thats true.
both sides have much to loose. but i like to go with bitcoin as intended by satoshi
(-> bigger blocks)btw eduffield has written recently that he has solved the bloat problem? do you know how?
