The segwit disaster:

https://bitco.in/forum/threads/gold-collapsing-bitcoin-up.16/page-462#post-16802

Wanna post that here? Besides the fact that that post is full of incorrect statements, I don't want to post in that cesspool of a forum.

You seem to prefer a theymos ruled forum over an uncensored one. No surprise.

No, I prefer a forum where you can have a semi-intelligent discussion about the merits of the various software proposals instead of a forum where every single person has a bias towards one specific proposal and uses personal attacks and spreads misinformation about other proposals. Also, that thread is really freaking long and I don't want to read it and attempt to debunk all of the false information in one post.

1. malicious pool makes a segwit transaction to pay themselves lots of coins. from an address they dont own to an address they do own. BUT. because its 2 weeks before anyone else has segwit, it appears to others as a funky transaction. in a block.. so they blindly accept it as a block with funky transaction.

This is simply not possible. Anyonecanspend is an output type, not an input type. It is not possible to spend from addresses (from now on I will refer to them as p2pkh and p2sh outputs) that you don't own the private keys for. If it were an anyonecanspend output (like an actual one or one in segwit format) then, as the name of the output suggests, anyone could spend from that output legitimately and create whatever outputs they want.

2. so now the receiving addresses is technically classed as having lots of funds.. but no one can spend them as they dont have the keys to do so. so the transaction is locked in the block unspendable becuse although people can try making an anyone can spend, it wont be accepted into other blocks as its not technically an anyone can spend..

I don't see how that would even be the case. A segwit output would be able to be spent by everyone before segwit's activation because it is anyonecanspend.

3. weeks later when the malicious block has over 2000 confirmations. the owner of the privkey that received the funds can then move them because segwit is now live and segwit pools will see that the transaction is spending funds with 2000 confirmations(even though the tx before that is technically invalid)

See above.
