Luke is involved in Blockstream? I don't see him at your /team/ link. Also conspicuously absent is Garzik, who opposes Bitcoin-XT as well.
You're correct as I can't find information myself. Looks like the source is wrong or I'm failing to find Luke's involvement with Blockstream. Although it is still 3 of them involved.
Where is Garzik?
Either way, the 'Only Blockstream conflicts of interest prevent 20mb block support' meme is idiotic.
That's not the point. I was trying to point out that there are probably things going on behind the scenes that we are not aware of. It would be unwise to say that being involved with Blockstream has no effect on their denial of 20MB blocks.
Case in point: Mircea. So fuck off with the defamatory accusations of "hidden agendas."
Ad hominem anyone? You should express yourself in a better way if you want people to take you more seriously.
Update: I still consider that it applies, even though it isn't direct to the character.
While the other core devs' are not, Gavin's biases are uniquely disqualifying:
-Gavin could care less about TOR users and decentralization
-Gavin wants to change the 10 min block target
-Gavin doesn't believe proof of work has a place in BTC's long-term future
-Gavin pointedly bypassed the normal proposal discussion channels in favor of smoky/spooky VC backrooms and Reddit demagoguery
He's either gone crazy or been compromised. I don't need to speculate about the why or how to see that.
I've seen no information in regards to the first point. However I'm against the three others. While I've stated in another thread that the developers need to propose solutions that are better than Gavins and implement on time. They should stick together rather than disband at times like these. I'm strongly against the hostile takeover that Gavin could potentially be planing.
