Why does Hearn want to cram huge controversial poison-pill commits into XT along with the popular blocksize commit of Gavin's is the real question.
It's like those politicians cramming all the surveillance shit in the "Schumer Bill For The Protection of Widows Orphans and Kiddies."
Its a rule that you can turn off anytime. Reason its a controversy because someone make it be.
The XT was under DDoS attack, he had to write a defense mechanism quick. This feature does not affect anyone's privacy. You cant let emotion and prejudice to blind you
It logs your IP and potentially puts it on a blacklist, even if you're on tor or a proxy. That is the definition of compromising privacy.
Yet you cant back your statement with a code right?
Yup thats what i guess
The debate is about block size. Can you show me the section of the XT code that addresses block size? Then, can you show me
everything else in the code? Then explain why such code is being included in a fork that is supposed to address block size?
Let's not get bogged down by the details. What the hell are these pages and pages of code that have absolutely fuck all to do with block size? And why is it being pushed then solely as a fix for the block size issue?
The issue here is philosophical first and foremost -- secondarily, it's what's actually in the code.
