Re: Bitcoin XT has code which downloads your IP address to facilitate blacklisting
And you Gavinistas enabled them with your greedy, impatient, simpleminded 'zomg just change 1mb to 8mb and then moon' nonsense and ungrateful, toxic 'zomg szabo/back/thermos >> worse than hitler' social engineering.
Yeah, that was completely one-sided and not even remotely the same thing as your toxic 'zomg gavin/mike >> worse than hitler' social engineering.
Pretty sure there's been quite enough of that from both sides. Now it's time to cut that shit out and discuss proposals on technical merit and not the personalities involved. Less character assassinations all round, please.
They destroyed $1 billion of our market cap.
All by themselves, huh? And you weren't doing anything at all that might encourage just the slightest hint of uncertainty in the markets?
Early this summer, Frap.doc was telling us Bitcoin was coiling for a rally. Then XT happened, and the price went to shit. 100% not Team Core's fault.
The price would have gone down even more if not for my (and others) assurances that XT was 100% guaranteed to be #REKT like Stannis at Winterfell.
As for "character assassinations" it would help if Team Gavin could distinguish between moderation/moderators and censorship/dictators, as well as the vast difference between stress-testing XT nodes/pools and "terrorism."
Don't be surprised when such nauseating self-pity results in a focus on the maudlin personalities involved, because many of us take offense at comparing first world nerd problems to the tragic circumstances of actual censorship/terrorism/dictatorship victims.
XT's biggest problem is social. IE, the impatient/demanding/entitled/whiny Can't-Get-Along types who eagerly defected from Team Core's socioeconomic majority are now unable to get along with each other, much less work together effectively to fight Team Core.
Speaking of Team Gavin personalities, isn't it hilarious that cedivad (bitcointa.lk) and cypherdoc (bitco.in) can't get along well enough to avoid splitting their XT splinter group into even smaller, less effective, self-imposed ghettos of circlejerking?
IOW, Team XT is a group composed of individuals self-selected by virtue of being cranky, fractious malcontents.
