This is the beauty of open source software.
If and when the "evil" muhahahah... blockstream guys carry out their dastardly plan of "forcing" their products onto the bitcoin community I can reject them and their code. In the meantime I like their contributions and would appreciate if you judge their current work based upon its merit and something more substantive than ... its too complicated.
Exactly. My opinion doesn't matter all that much. It's a sort of catharsis to get it out there though. The
market will decide on proposals, and they
are. The incentive structure upon which Bitcoin operates might prove that it actually works... Bullish (at least when when the drama's died down).
I think your opinion does matter. We ARE the market, and if you "recruit" just a few people into bitcoin, as i and most here do - friends, family, coworkers-, and since we are still small in numbers, it does matter. Just a cheer up thought :-)
