A while ago I was sitting in front of a block explorer seeing the transactions as they happened in real time, in USD terms... there were many 0.03, 0.07$ transactions etc. This is bullshit.

Cry me a river. What is the line between not-bullshit and bullshit? I don't measure it in size of transaction, I measure it in number of transactions. Do you personally run a full node? I do. If you do not personally run a node, WTF do you care about number of transactions? If you do, then why are you so damned cheap to spend another $USD 10 on HDD space, and another $USD 0.50/mo on bandwidth - especially as you're so incensed about small-value transactions?

I do too. SwampNode is running BitcoinXT. Cost me $118 bucks, so any crybabies whining about the node problem can stop wasting their time.

That's not Bitcoin but GavinCoin.

Fuck off. I know Gavin from 2011. I trust him. It was gavincoin when I bought it and if it's not gavincoin now, then I don't want it anymore. I'll sell the whole way up and still have more coins than most here.

I hope people like you will sell. May be prices should stay depressed for a few more years to accomplish just that.

People that want a bigger block are just socialists that want their free transactions. Fees is what pays for the security of the network. The block subsidy is temporary. The total value of the fees correlates directly into a level of security. Fees will be lower overall with a larger block size (more supply) so security will be lower. The unique selling point of Bitcoin is security that no power on this planet can break. A payment network that works globally is nothing new and NOT the goal of Bitcoin. The payment network is to bootstrap the store of value. That's all.

No fee doesn't mean free transactions. I paid for those transactions when I bought my stash. I pay for it with every coin I buy now. I was subsidizing the miners so the network can grow. Then you assholes came around and thought Bitcoin could be more useful if fewer people can use it. This isn't the vision I signed up for. This isn't the reason I held on through three crashes.

Over four hundred is a nice profit for me. If you think you can handle it without me, just keep the price this high until I pull my coins out of storage.

These were the rules from when you bought in. Now you guys are trying to change it. Fork the chain and make your own altcoin. If you succeed power to you.
