I think that this debate is being abused by people who could be damaged by Bitcoin's success. They could easily abuse it by paying people to "infiltrate" each side and keep inciting war, flame and hatred on each other.
And this is what Veritas Sapere represents.
It's the most twisted debater I've happened upon for a while. Above, it falsely asserts I'm using strawman arguments, then goes on to unleash a panoply of strawman arguments using my recent replies.
Every single Veritas Sapere argument is couched in deceit. It always has to lie or manipulate to make a point, because it doesn't have any actual arguing points.
I've already debunked it's nonsense assertions that Peter Todd's malleability vuln has in fact been patched. And there's more.... it claims above that SegWit transactions are larger than standard transactions, but of course, this is
only true if one is carefully selective with which facts one presents and which one does not (another classic Veritas Sapere strategy, it literally behaves as if inconvenient facts do not exist).
If Veritas wasn't being so self-servingly selective, it would report that SegWit transactions are being rolled out in 2 stages - to begin with, they're wrapped in ordinary Bitcoin P2PKH or P2SH formats, and this makes them larger than standard Bitcoin transactions today. But the 2nd stage involves invoking native P2
WPKH and P2
WSH, which will be more compact than regular transactions. Hence, Veirtas Sapere is lying by omission.
But of course, it will return fire without mentioning a word about it's deception and manipulation.
Interesting how the personality of this particular troll is "honest and straightforward", but you don't have to dig hard to discover that it is in fact the polar opposite: deceitful and tortuous. And I've demonstrated that as a fact. (not Ad Hominem when it's a fact, getting too used to the "tactics" already lol)
