Bitcoin having multiple solutions developed in parallel by people with opposing views is not a bug of decentralization. It's a feature.

Remember that the next time you read something about running 'unauthorized' code...

Anyone that thinks any project should steer itself with an out of context tweet from someone that doesn't want to work as part of a community in a project that by definition MUST consist of a bunch of people working together for a common goal is missing some critical pieces of information. Roll Eyes

Please note these clues from the July BTC forks:

https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2015-07-04-spv-mining
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/July_2015_forks#Electrum
Some miners are generating invalid blocks - and the entire community is working to identify the bad chains (is calling them invalid!), and is working to get the entire system back together so it works as everyone wants it to work again. Note the words like trusted servers and valid blockchains and invalid confirmations and invalid blocks.

When it comes to your complaints, Troy, this isn't about 'authorized' code or central control - this is about people intentionally building code that is not only not capable of operating on the CAT network, but by it's very existence harms the project and her community. That's NOT what is happening in any other project, but it is what has been happening with CAT since you arrived on the scene just after launch. You have been specializing in invalid code with invalid blocks and untrustworthy servers.

Keep in mind, Troy, that while the various developers in the BTC ecosystem are working to make COMPATIBLE apps and expand the usability of the BTC ecosystem, you have been working to DESTROY the CAT ecosystem.
- Can you name a single BTC process that ran code on seed nodes designed specifically to cause forks and make the network unusable?
- Can you name a single member of ANY other cryptocoin community that contacted an exchange and killed the ability of the entire community to trade the coin? (That's right folks - Troy's the reason Cryptsy has been stuck on block 44260 and nobody's been able to buy or sell CAT on our only exchange.)
- Can you name any other coin project where a rogue member cloned the coin, changed the parameters to build a completely separate blockchain that is not compatible with the original project, took the projects graphics and name, and is standing alone against the entire development team and the community?

You do not have a single line of code in this project. You are not a developer here. You have proven you don't respect this project or her community. You have betrayed this project and everyone that trusted you. I didn't do that. Neither did Blaksmith, Zerodrama, Maverick, Ambethia, or anyone else that put their own time or money into this project. Even Eric didn't do that.

You, Troy, have become 'an army of one' that continues to work to destroy this project. And for the life of me I cannot understand - because you apparently think enough about the project to beg, borrow, or steal CATs, and you have made it clear that profit is the number one planet in your solar system. If you think this is a valuable project, and you want to make money, why in the HELL are you working so hard and so often to KILL IT?!

That's why you are kicked and banned from IRC and reddit, why you've been flagged as a rogue at Cryptsy, and that's why you're ignored here.
