... and who increases bitcoin utility?

deadbeats ranting and raving on forums about how terrible all the devs are ... or developers adding features, tools, layers, wallets, protocol extensions?

Only clueless dogs bite the hands that feed them.

rah-de-rah rant-de-rant rah

Core gets no special credit for just doing their damn jobs, especially when they aren't doing them.

noone gets to tell devs what they can and can't do ... you choose who you follow, the genuine or the charlatans and deceivers

what is your "damned job" (besides ranting on here about how bad core devs are)?

I would even invest/help to create some bitcoin businesses if I knew how much blockspace I could use. There would be huge potential for title registry/xfer, equities exchanges, smart contracts, etc, but I would need to know what sort of fees I'd be paying and to be certain my transaction wouldn't be locked up for days if I guessed wrong.

You could do all of this on namecoin blockchain for free with as good as security as you'll ever need for these functions ... no, I suspect that your problem isn't that "can't start mah bidness without bigger blocks" ... it's just that your a disaffected trash talker who has found a convenient cause-de-jour to rant about.

poeple don't realize this but you can easily have the blockchain record a 5GB file with a 256btye TX
just hash your file and dump that hash on the blockchain
now anyone can validate the 5GB file.
i think businesses looking to use the blockchain for timestamps and record keeping are doing it wrong. they should use the blockchain to record the proof of existence and authenticity only, sure if you upload the whole file to the blockchain you get the same effect, but it's not necessary.
a system that creates 1 TX on blockchain in order to timestamp every single "whatever" is nutty.

but i've said this b4, and i'll say it again, if they pay the appropriate fee i'm ok with them using it incorrectly.
