I know it's "Classic" (and /r/btc) style to spend most of the time talking about Ethereum; but how about we buck that trend and talk about classic instead?
In an ultra rare fit of software development, they've begun to try to add BIP9/68/etc. support to Classic: https://github.com/bitcoinclassic/bitcoinclassic/pull/177
But because their "single constant fork" remained anything but and they've diverged from Core and don't seem to know what they're doing-- they've made a fine hairball of it and the tests aren't passing. I wonder if they'll get it working before CSV is live on the network?
I also wonder, since they already released a "0.12.1" which was, if anything, an anti-0.12.1 (ripped out warnings related to the 0.12.1 features it lacked!)-- are they going to call their kludge port 0.13 and claim to be leaders in Bitcoin innovation-- while lacking the half year of development from dozens of people and dozens of features that will be in the real 0.13?
Only time will tell, but I guess that would be consistent with their "Classic" naming practice, enh?

Are you the CTO of Blockstream? you don't sound like a CTO
r/btc is where the uncensored bitcoin discussion happens, who cares about ETH, but for the fact that we can learn from their DAO mistakes.Roger Ver is knee deep in Ethers. Don't pretend that place isn't what it is.
You have proof of your claim?
I didn't mean for that to sound as aggressive as it did.

Services that I wanted to launch on Bitcoin arent possible now because of the artificial suppression of the blocksize. So maybe I will be launching some things on Ethereum [. . .] Roger Ver

If scaling bitcoin quickly means there is a risk of [Bitcoin] becoming Paypal 2.0, I think that risk is worth taking because we will always be able to make a Bitcoin 3.0 that [. . .] has the properties that we want.
But these sorts of statements seem pretty reckless/thoughtless. I'd be very curious to hear his opinion on the Ethereum hard frok, political theorist/technical wizard that he is.
Edit: I didn't mean for this to sound as snide as it did. I guess this is just who I am. I'm trying to change...
