Leaving aside the fact that cherry-picking some random rich dude and attributing an entire movement to that person is ludicrous...

Random rich dude? Looks like someone has been living inside a cave during the last two quarters.

You seem to be stating that you view Ver's verbal statement of "difficult to support segwit" as synonymous with "[primarily Roger Ver and ViaBTC have been] fighting for blocking scaling and Segwit and pro a fork." This says more about you than it does of Ver.

False. Do your research regarding this problem, i.e. stop requiring spoon-feeding. I've already said the statement is wrong and it should be "blocking scaling via Segwit".

No. You (core, et al) just implement emergent maxblocksize and continue promoting/preaching what you are already doing. It causes no harm but helps move forward (at least a bit).

Nobody in their right mind is going to implement something that effectively has no benefits in contrast to the solution on hand.

Now see, that is what is known as an opinion.

Nope. Facts. Random people that know nothing about what a system can or can not handle should not be messing around with it.

Further, it is not a technical limit.

Surely it's an economical limit that my node can only run X amount of validation in Y amount of time. Roll Eyes

I'm not sure if you're trolling or just stupid. In what rational mind is mentioning some random TXs and their fees as evidence to support the claim that "Core devs will be okay with 10$ fees". I could literally put in $1M of fees in the smallest possible TX. Is this proof that Core developers want $1m fees? Roll Eyes

no shit they wouldn't flat out say that, they want you to FEEL like hard forks are very dangerous.

They are dangerous, anyone stating otherwise is misinformed or delusional.

right, core devs are infallible programming gods, so i guess there's no real danger.

They just may be in comparison to the people that have worked on the last 2 (almost 3) failed clients. Then again, that may be an appeal to authority.
