If it is any consolation the boys wanting to play with their big blocks XT toy will be able to run it as a Sidechain, in a sandbox, keeping the mess to a minimum. And we can all learn valuable things for when bigger blocks make sense.

Dead right. I'll happily use XT as a sidechain, and especially if others are going to subsidize my activity in exchange for my allowing them to spy on me. None of my BTC input is going to be red-listed because I can account for all of it, and I'm happy to register my XTsidecoins for buying all kinds of trinkets under the watchful eye of Big Bro. As long as any frozen XTSC I hold eventually auto-revert to BTC in the case of a taint freeze-out or other failure I'm as happy as a clam.

And when the dying socialism expropriates all wealth, even that which can be accounted for?

It's awakening Socialism (built on and inextricably linked to cronyism and totalitarianism) that bothers me in that respect. That's one of the big reasons that Bitcoin has captured and held my interest, and is probably the biggest reason I dislike XT so vehemently and am so excited about sidechains.

Awakening Socialism (i.e. 0.001% vs. 99.999% aka 99% vs. 1%) is "dying NWO socialism" because it is a resource depletion paradigm. Meaning all wealth gets expropriated. So we agree then?

So why the fuck wouldn't you be concerned about a 50% attack on minority pegged side chains which offer sanctuary from the majority KYC expropriation chain?

Do you dismiss this as very unlikely?

Have not Dark Ages occurred every 2 x 309 years or so throughout human history? Do you know which of the two alternating cycles we are on now? In short, do you know what time it is?

I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing your expertise in numerology. edit - now, how about that code?

Code for the computer model that discovered the 309 year cycle, or code for the vaporware crypto-coin solution I dangle in front of your face?
