i'm at a loss for words, really. how is it that you can blame Core developers because some entity decided to coordinate a DDOS attack? i understand that it sucks to be DDOSed, but you're not saying anything relevant to the topic at hand. what does you (and your neighbors) getting DDOSed have to do with anything?

this is like me getting DDOSed and blaming the Chinese government because i have some idea in my head that they might benefit from disrupting stateside communications.

i'm not gonna tell it to your neighbors. your neighbors should tell it to their ISP. it's now Greg Maxwell and Peter Todd's fault that your ISP has insufficient infrastructure to deal with DDOS?

and what if Core nodes were the target, not XT? then, it's Gavin and Hearn's fault, right? and therefore XT is the problem, right? i believe that's the logic being used here.....

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.

Yes, "the most absurd arguments [we've] ever seen" are par for the XT course.   Smiley

tl121's ISP wasn't randomly selected for DDOS.  It *ONLY* happened because tl121 asked, and indeed begged, for it.  He painted a target on his "rural valley's" back, then went into Quelle Horreur mode when someone decided to rise to his challenge.

This fucking n00b thinks he gets to decide the fate of Bitcoin (thereby overruling the existing majority's consensus), yet can't bother to use a VPN?  Jesus wept.   Undecided
