the next time your ISP goes down, are you really gonna keep spinning your wheels about how Core development is centralized? that's one of the most absurd arguments i've ever seen.
That didn't even occur to me, is that really what he's intending to mean? (I've skipped some of the nonsense). If so... holy shit.
If an ISP can easily go down for running Bitcoin, or XT, or Dogecoin, or whatever, then surely the lesson is that you cannot let nodes run in just a few different ISPs and expect a truly mission-critical level of reliability in the system as a whole.
P2P networks are strongly dependant on their "security in numbers" model, and in the diversity of these numbers because if they are all reduced to a single kind of localised attack - for instance a legal, jurisdictional attack - then effectively they are not many for the purposes of this attack.
Another point is that currently the block size is too big to allow effectively hiding nodes behind Tor or other IP-layer obfuscating system. The protocol requires too much traffic for that to be remotely feasible already with 500KB+ blocks and current generation home broadband, anywhere.
