you understand that bitcoin protocol just failed right?
You know, saying this on many threads doesn't make it true... No, the protocol didn't fail. In fact, if everyone had upgraded to 0.8, we wouldn't even be talking. I realised you want cheap coins, but this is silly.
lol the protocol shouldn't care if people are mining on different versions, that's a bad design
if there's another major problem in the future with the 'protocol' that needs everyone to upgrade then the protocol is badly designed
we just need Bitcoin 2 and startover to truly fix it (fix the major problems in the protocol design first ofcourse), and then Bitcoin 3 if that fails etc (naturally)
