Fuck the hardforkers.
Bitcoin needs to be compatible forever otherwise it's not a long term storage option.
If I want to set away a long term investment as a set & forget investment for like 10 years. I dont want to come back to this forum or to any bitcoin site and read the drama and FUD about new versions coming that are incompatible with the old ones.
If I want to setup some bitcoins for long term savings, then I should not need to check back every week for updates, thats the whole point.
What an idiotic thing to say. You're still ranting about how your bitcoind 0.7 won't sync?
This is a completely separate issue from Theymos' call to preemptively destroy old coins sent to pub key before dastardly haxors grab them with their quantum computers.

Do you see the logical and practical disconnections in the above interaction?

LUKE: Hai gize, u want show everyone BTC governance can work to preemptively fix security problems like block withholding?
#B-A: zomg, LUKE is working for the banksters!!! Support block withholding or Coinbase wins!!!

You think hdbuck is capable of logical and practical thought? How cute. He really believes this stuff, doesn't just use it as a method to encourage price appreciation in altcoins.
Also, didn't Mircea angrily adjust the lapels of his ill-fitting three piece suit before leaving #bitcoin-assets for good? IIRC it was around the time of the bitbet fiasco. You know... that deliciously ironic moment where he sent the tx with an inadequate fee for full blocks... then flailed wildly while blaming the whole thing on a vast chinese miner conspiracy.
After being called on his bullshit by the more principled members of B-A, he left for his own irc chatroom, and some of the more credulous members of B-A left with him.
Just another data point in the evolution of modern Bitcoin discourse... echochamber all the things! It's his safe space now, similar to how this thread is a safe space for Gregory.
Any thoughts JJG?
