Bitmain statement regarding "A Call for Consensus"

2016/02/11

"BITMAIN/Antpool chose to abstain from signing the statement, A Call for Consensus, that was released yesterday by representatives of several bitcoin companies. The statement was produced as the result of extensive discussions between the Core team and key industry players over the past several weeks.

We applaud the Core teams increased communication and willingness to find compromise, but we do not wish to bind ourselves to a document that does not contain concrete technical proposals. We look forward to reviewing Bitcoin Cores updated roadmap and evaluating it on its technical merits, but we do not believe that this should be done to the exclusion of other development efforts.

Like those who signed the Call for Consensus document, we share the common goal of seeing bitcoin succeed. The bitcoin network has proven resilient in the face of many challenges over the years, and we do not believe that testing different implementations of the software poses a threat to the network. If support for a hard fork fails to reach majority consensus, then bitcoins built-in voting mechanism works as intended.

Bitcoin has always been free software, and in line with open source philosophy, we encourage and welcome all code proposals irrespective of the team proposing." - Bitmain Technologies, Ltd.

in short Core didnt make any technical reasons to get miners to side with the roadmap, and just wanted people to sign it.
lol.. love it when the core team cant even use logic or technical knowledge to add substance. and instead wants signatures on paper, which is the mindset of corporations (who love contracts/agreements)

in short 1MB holding strong.
hardforking bitcoin impossibru.

Yes, stupidity still holding strong the last few weeks, while the altcoin market cap surprisingly doubled.

yes maybe you should leave bitcoin since you cannot fork it into an altcoin. just buy ethereum Wink
