Re: Estranged Core Developer Gavin Andresen Finally Makes Sensible 2MB BIP Proposal!
This is strange answer coming from a bitcointalk.org staff member. But you are the same person that said Satoshi's vision is irrelevant? Funny how well now I can remember you and your ways.
Should I call you 'names' for quoting me out of context; albeit you'd come crying with "ad hominem"? It is obvious why you are doing this though and you intelligence is "astounding". Look at all those logical fallacies. Strange indeed... the same people that cry most loudly against 'contentious hard forks' are the ones that seem to be against implementing a simple 2MB increase right now that would make the forking threat disappear.
It is not strange; you guys are making yourself obvious. Let me try this one more time:Quote
What are the benefits of 2 MB blocks and what are the benefits of segwit if we exclude the increase in TPS? If your answer to the first question is nothing (it should be, you can't change this fact), then we have a clear winner. Time to move on.
The answer is a clear and indicative no. You can try to deny it, you can try to go around it, you can try to lie about it, but it won't change it. Aside from the increase in TPS that both proposals bring to the table, 2 MB block size brings nothing.
Face the facts. With segwit and the 'forkers' we have a nice case of personal incredulity. The answer is a clear and indicative no. You can try to deny it, you can try to go around it, you can try to lie about it, but it won't change it. Aside from the increase in TPS that both proposals bring to the table, 2 MB block size brings nothing.
Really...is that so?
Then what is it a Monarchy or Totalitarianism?
It could function better depending on who's leading, albeit it is neither one of those.Then what is it a Monarchy or Totalitarianism?
Segwit?
When I joined bitcoin there was and still is no segwit, nor am I interested in reversible transactions with a possible and yet unknown risk of backdoor attacks.
This makes no sense.When I joined bitcoin there was and still is no segwit, nor am I interested in reversible transactions with a possible and yet unknown risk of backdoor attacks.
what exactly about Blockstream is it -- specifically -- that has made people turn so vociferously on Core devs that have tirelessly worked for years to make bitcoin what it is?
'Forkers' are mad that their idea is irrational, and thus Blockstream must be evil and blocking consensus. Is it April already? I must have overslept.
Good luck gaining consensus (albeit 75% isn't consensus) for the HF before April. I'll push veto myself. Lauda, do you ever get tired of fighting with everyone? Do you ever consider - for even a second - that you may not be 100% correct in your views?

You do that Lauda. You veto all you like while Bitcoin is sold out to the interests of Bankers over the users themselves. The very bankers it was conceived to circumvent.
You are just a cheap sell out.
