Lauda, when you firm up your opinion on Bitcoin Unlimited please post. theZerg (Andrew Stone) seems to be running the project and forum with help from several others. In particular Peter Rizun from
Ledger. A list of other members is
here. It seems to be an interesting experiment but still early days.
Well it is actually very hard to firm up a single opinion because I'm not getting short and concrete answers which is also suspicious. If, what the other member here has told me is correct, then BU is possibly one of the worst attempts at killing Bitcoin under the false flag of democracy. I wouldn't call another hostile takeover attempt an 'interesting experiment'. If it was just a experiment they would be running their own chain by now.
After all the miners and the economic majority could decrease the blocksize under BU if they deem this to be necessary, BU just takes this power away from the development teams and returns it to where it belongs.
Return it? You are implying that it was like this before and that it was changed through time.
This is an example of how the other side manipulates with words (nothing was taken away, ergo nothing should be returned to "where it belongs").
I don't see the benefit of the implementation in comparison to Core. The roadmap proposed by Core for 2016 looks pretty good aside from the fact that they are too afraid to do a hard fork to X MB (2 would be fine and would not cause harm).
