Side note: Wasn't Classic being passed off as nothing but a bump to 2MB, because of the controversial changes that were coded into XT? What else is Gavin planning on slipping in?
what else is luke Jr planning on slipping into core..
what else is Sipa planning on slipping into core..
its a bit of tit-for-tat
Luke and Sipa are not releasing a contentious hard fork. Gavin is.
And Classic is presenting that hard fork as
"a one-feature patch to bitcoin-core that increases the blocksize limit to 2 MB." Is that really the case?
See
https://bitcoinclassic.com/Says it right on the front page. Further, Luke and Sipa can't just slip anything into Core anyway. Not at all. Core has a drawn-out code review process that prevents anything like that. Classic has only a few developers and no peer review. Big difference.
luke is proposing a hard fork.. to mess with the difficulty purely so his eligius pool can survive a few more weeks after the reward halving..
it might be worth to investigate blockstream just as much as any other bitcoin development group.
by the way there are 12 groups.. not two. so feel free to expand your mind, and to be less blindly faithful to one team
Don't confuse things: I am faithful to the protocol's consensus mechanism, NOT "a team." Core happens to be the only "team" that respects consensus in this debate.
Regarding this alleged hard fork, link to the BIP? I'm fairly sure you're mischaracterizing, as usual.
No comments on the fact that Classic is selling itself as "a one-feature patch to bitcoin-core that increases the blocksize limit to 2 MB"....when things like SPV mining are being coded into the software? Seems pretty shady.
