Now everybody is alining behind this segwit soft fork because its is perceived as 'better than BIP101' basically..
But that is far from being enough, and they still want to twist the holy protocol.
Soft fork is even more pernicious than hard fork because it is more tricky to reject it.
Funny how not even coupla days after announcing this 'new plan' we got this satoshi hoax stealing the attention from it all.
Can MP just spank his fortune on developing a time machine and piss off back to 2009 already? If all he's ever going to do is spend the rest of forever bitching and whining every time someone proposes a change, it would be mutually beneficial for all.
Bitcoin *is* change.
WTF is this insatiable urge to change it?
Only TPTB really have a motivation for such governance coups, which are to essentially prove there is a central point (of failure) where change can be imposed to all.
Their hard fork failed, now they try at soft forking the cryptography part out of the blockchain.. for moar coffee cups!
If that were true, we'd all still be running 0.1.5 alpha, which he's more than welcome to run if he doesn't like recent developments. Or better yet, as I keep suggesting, a closed-source coin would suit his motives far better. He'll never have to worry about change again and we won't have to hear more petulant hissy fits.
