we're not even under attack yet blocks continue to fill up:

Unbelievable! It's almost as if subsidizing spam/noise transactions creates more of them. Huh

...

Whoop - Whoop - Whoop | emergency! | Whoop - Whoop - Whoop | emergency!

Paging Justusranvier to explain in free-market ~~principles~~ pretzels how iCEBREAKER is muddled in his thinking.

you supposed engineers are stupid, aren't you?

i'll take a stab at this: for 6 yrs we've had a small enough tx set that barely filled 1MB blocks. now that we're starting to get closer to filling them up, spammers find it more cost effective to spam (don't have to create as many fee paying spam to fill the blocks and cause problems). thus, their attacks start to increase in frequency. that's a problem because of the 1MB limit.
...

Lemme try to clue you in a bit here.

Firstly, if I had a BTC for every dumbshit idea about using the blockchain as some boundless resource for messeging, timestamping, data storage system, etc, I'd be a richer man. Even one piss-ant dice game strained it. You don't think that VC's got cold feet when they looked past the sales pitches and saw the 1MB limit that Satoshi wisely put in? Those who are not capable of that modest level of due-diligence lost all their money a long before they were able use it to fuck up Bitcoin.

Secondly, every one of these dumbshit ideas remains a gleam in the creator's eye and ready to pounce as soon as you crypto-socialist Gavinistas do your thing.

My own 'paracoin' idea to parasitize the subsidized data store and hitch a free ride on the Yetta-hashes as they become available. Thankfully that idea was never needed because most of the dev team has been smart enough to fight off you bloaters for the last few years and develop against the mainchain which has yet to be destroyed.

Paracoin?! hah. i remember that POS (that'd be piece of sh*t). that's when i first began suspecting that all these self proclaimed engineer experts around here were pulling my leg. that was a joke then and it still is a joke today.

here's the thing. Bitcoin was so new and so experimental, even the geeks failed to understand that which hath been created. i'm am going to stop saying "that they hath created" b/c that would be giving too much credit to geeks/engineers in general now that the secrets out about their ability to understand Bitcoin over the rest of us.

don't get me wrong; i can clearly see the geeks/engineers whom i need to pay respect to; they know who they are. but the rest of you, especially you, can be confidently ignored.
