The problem isn't the lack of p2pool options or lack of good pool alternatives. The problem is that the people who owns the hardware has no interest in using those.
The problem is Bitmain/Antpool told us they would support p2pool when it was to their marketing benefit, then never did anything else.
They didn't even bother to remove the false advertising from the OP.
Quick, drag up some ancient affair you can use a cudgel for bashing me!
Whether or not Gmax and I were low information "victims" lacking agency (or sophisticated gamblers taking a calculated risk) is just your attempt to change the subject to a completely irrelevant controversy from years in the past.
No, this is an attempt by you and Gmaxwell to somehow make the HK agreement null and void by dragging some irrelevant little niggle into it all.
But yeah, Antpool should remove all mention of P2pool if they have no intention of going through with it. Or even better, remove it until they have a solution.
But that's about it. Maybe they'll get to it when the block size issue has been resolved.
Wow, you managed to entirely agree with our conclusion ("Antpool should remove all mention of P2pool if they have no intention of going through with it") yet still get in a couple of bitchy little parting shots at the messengers.
The HK agreement was never valid, nor enforceable, because A. nobody is in charge of Core and thus able to make commitments on its behalf (the "Blockstream is controlling Core with Money and Evil Sorcery" meme is only still taken seriously on rbtc and bitco.in) and, B. f2pool violated the terms of the compact when they starting running Klassique.
The block size issue has been resolved, but not in the way you would have preferred (sorry about that, LOL NOT REALLY
).The lopsided victory of Core over XT and Klassique made you angry, hence your butthurt and eagerness to use anything you can from my past to attack me for daring to hold Bitmain responsible for their false "we support p2pool" advertising.
Yeah, yeah.. I had an itching for a rant, you scratched it.
gg
Edit: Btw, didn't you notice?:
Just thought I'd mention it.
I don't know why they haven't just pulled the plug completely on their p2pool project. It's just bad PR by now.
Then again, I don't see why an [expletive deleted] like yourself would want to stir up shit about it. Especially considering your past affiliations.
