No, the mistake was on my part. His offer is 750 bitcoin today for 1`000 USGavincoin in the future, which is essentially the same as trading 750 post-fork bitcoin for 250 USGavincoin. I might be willing to offer you a better deal, but I will not agree to "refund" in the case that the fork doesn't happen. That's the whole point of making this kind of agreement. I'd be betting that the fork is not successful, whether by being crushed on the market or by not ever happening. If you're really interested in buying some discounted coins, you had better get in the WoT.

Pitchman!

Are you trying to be funny? I'm "pitching" the very thing you claim to support.

I have not seen an argument against a larger block limit that uses facts. Your market forces will just have to deal with larger blocks.

Who the fuck would give MP money, are you batshit insane?

THIS x 100 lol

How many people even know who the fuck MP was/is ?
Or had ever heard of him before this forking argument ?

the blocks have to scale up for the system to remain usable

THE END

Perhaps the whole thing was just to get a bunch of attention for their little IRC channel. If they have an audience they can pretend their opinions actually count for something and they're not just having a little circle-jerk. It's not like people are going to want to interact with them because they're decent human beings or anything, so they have to make a load of drama out of nothing to try and get some attention. "Look at us, we're important decision makers, honest! Come listen to our dogma and worship at the feet of the elite".

Ignore them and hopefully they'll go away.

Their argument has been backwards from the start anyway. They're saying that Gavin wants to change the way Bitcoin works and that he needs to justify that change. But in reality, Gavin is only making sure Bitcoin continues to work in the same way it works now and always has done. It's the anti-fork crowd that need to justify forcing full blocks onto everyone and the only reason they can come up with is that it guarantees security for them and no one else matters. If you want an open system that's available for anyone to use, you'll support the fork. If you only want Bitcoin to benefit early adopters and risk driving everyone else away, you'll oppose the fork.
