That is so wrong.

"If you're going to argue that you don't want a system where hashpower consensus allows new script rules for users to use to voluntarily contract with themselves, you should have left Bitcoin in 2010 or 2011"

I don't see jl777 sgbett arguing that. You want hashpower, consencus or not, to blind existing nodes. Introduce trust or obscurity. A hard fork in disguise.


"-- and I would call denying users the ability to choose whatever contract terms they want out of principle rather than considerations like resource usage both weird and harmful--"

What has jl777 sgbett done to harm Bitcoin?
Segwit however could destroy it. (unproven obviously. just opinion)

Something better will come in due course.
Segwit needs more thought.

Segwit needs to be hard forked.
