You don't need Greg Maxwell's permission. This is Bitcoin. The code is open source.
this is a shitty thread but this is an angle that's often rolled out that doesn't quite ring true for me. that's like some fat mom in an arkansas backwater deciding she wants to run for president. you can certainly do so and no one's gonna stop you. no one's gonna pay you the slightest attention either.
How come it doesn't sound true to you ? Are you implying that in order to feel that thats true you need to be able to modify bitcoin according to your wishes
and everyone needs to follow ?
You can both modify bitcoin and run for president and the number of real followers you get is a direct metric of how good your ideas are.
If you're not getting any followers and you still feel you're in the right then nobody can help you.
