Antpool back in defensive mode due to filled blocks. tell me, what do we have core devs for again?:

The core devs wrote and maintain most of the code on which your nodes run. You are biting the hand that feeds you and looking their gift horse in the mouth. You think they are easily replaceable via a quick search on Rent-a-Coder, but that assumption is entirely incorrect.

seriously, the only reason it has evolved that way is that Blockstream is fighting for it's life. just look at the increasingly desperate comments from Adam all over Reddit and Twitter.

lifting the 1MB DoS artificial cap should be a no brainer.

The "increasingly desperate comments" are coming from Doctor Frappuccino and the other Gavinistas.

Case in point:

Blockstream is far from fighting for its life. They have $21 million in the bank ATM, and that's play money for their deep pocketed investors.

Second case in point:

Lifting the 1MB cap is far from "a no brainer." It only seem simple to you because you are simple minded. The rest of the world is busy answering the extremely difficult empirical and theoretical questions about how/when/why to raise the limit, while you hyperventilate and whine 'faster, please!'

blocks full again with TPS unacceptably high --> unconf tx set ~ 3000, more than double normal. pools taking defensive action. when will Blockstream devs do something?:

There you go again. Roll Eyes

How many times must Gavin reassure you "the sky will not fall" because of full blocks?

we're at the beginning of a global change in monetary regime.

But Gavin said the "financial crisis is over." Perhaps this is not the best moment, in terms of political economy, to bet Bitcoin's future on his rosy prognostications about cash-flush corporations lavishing shiny new broadband infrastructure on consumers?
