Re: Bitcoin core value? - miners will switch to Bitcoin Classic
Proving the negative is notoriously hard (often impossible), and yet that's exactly what you're asking of me.
No, friend, game theory is "the study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers." Mathematical models are the very essence of being open to proof, see here.
So, on one hand, you dont need to provide any proof that non-mining nodes (or nodes) are irrelevant to Bitcoins security. On the other hand, you suggest that mathematical models make such proof possible. Then, instead of providing any evidence of your argument, you link to an encyclopedia article about Mathematical proof. Really compelling.
No. That's retarded. Stop being retarded.
1. You tell me that hanging garlands of garlic on our front door is essential for home security, because stops Evol from getting in.
2. When I object & ask you to explain how, you retort with "so prove to me that garlic is not essential for for our security."
3. I point out that such proof, as is the case for most "prove the negative," would be difficult, if not altogether impossible, and that the burden of proof remains with you.
So switching "padlocks thrown about on our lawn" for "garlands of garlic on our front door" proves your case....how? I provided numerous arguments that suggest this is an absurd analogy with no basis in reality.
You don't understand what an analogy is. Start learning here.
I'm attempting to make you understand by trying different analogies. Clearly, it's not working. Because for understanding to take place, the subject must be *capable* of understanding, Which you are not. Or are faking stupidity. Either way, it's starting to try my patience. Your slimy tactic is to add more and more text, most of it copy-pasted, and hoping that your opponent gets bored/frustrated & goes away.
Like, for instance, a frickin' duplicate of this thread, where you wage your war of [feigned?] stupidity & attrition
