f2pool not supporting roundtable was Re: 「魚池」BTC:270 Phash/s - LTC:500 Ghash/s - New Server in U.S. stratum-us.f2pool.com
Announcement: We will withdraw support from February 21s roundtable consensus, unless Adam Back gives us a reasonable explanation why he quietly changed his title from Blockstream President to Individual at the very last moment without anybody noticed. We feel weve been cheated. I dont know how we can trust Blockstream anymore in the future.
Hmm, couldn't all the pools just go with 2MB and tell the devs who think they control everything to stop trying to make themselves feel important?Bitcoin is by design controlled by the consensus of the miners, not by centralised control.
It would seem that there are all sorts of parties trying to control bitcoin and I guess they all simply fail to understand the design.
Doesn't really matter how important devs think they are, if they want to be a relevant part of the blockchain decisions then they need to be miners.
...
BlockStream/Sidechains/SegWit all sounds a lot like trying pointlessly to control altcoins and make something like a partial SPV ... to me.
Still, miners controlling bitcoin would be an overstatement.
Whether 51% or 75% attack they'd loose big if they try anything like that (probably all of us).
So nobody controls bitcoin. And that is good news.
But please proceed with the defiance, politics and cheap mainstreameries.
Bitcoin unaffected, if not strengthening, feasting on all that (negative) energy.
