Re: Chinese Miners Revolt, Announces Plan to Hard Fork to Classic
If someone cannot afford 2 year old computer and normal 5Mbps connection, why should he have right to run Bitcoin full node - and why someone needs to run the full node on 10+ year old computer is out of my mind.
So you're telling me that if I don't upgrade my hardware every 2 years that I should have no right to run a full wallet? No - it is not that you don't have a _right_ to, it is that it is perfectly reasonable that someone that does not upgrade HW every so often does not have the _ability_ to run a full node.
Incidentally, the price I paid for the machine that runs several full nodes at the same time cost less than $400. Several years ago.
IOW qwitcherbitchen.

First proposal was 20MB, core didn't like it, then got down to 8MB, core still didn't like it, then went to 2MB and core still don't want it. People have been extremely patient but when things only go one side with censorship on top at some point people can't take it anymore.
What if I told you that 20 MB blocks, 8 MB blocks and 2 MB blocks can break Bitcoin due to O(n^2) validation time? Is that censorship? 
Oh stop it. We've been over this. Repeatedly.
First, current integrated Core release does not fix O(n^2) either.
Second, while Classic (as but one example - indeed the one explicitly named in this apparent miner manifesto) does not resolve the O(n^2) problem, it does render it a non-issue.
Third, aberrant blocks would not 'break Bitcoin', as any sane validator would stop validating a block that took more time than the mining interval to hash.
