suggesting that seg wit is "too complex" and suggesting that a hard fork is preferable to a soft fork... blah blah blah, we certainly can get the sense that they are disingenuous, just bringing over some big blocker nut job talking points.. and likely trolling.


I feel like I understand the technical details fairly well, and I'm confident that Segwit has been the largest change to the Bitcoin codebase in the past few years, both in terms of number of lines of code and the depth to which it reaches. Also it requires changes to the code in all wallets and utilities. Changes that are nowhere near complete, as people are waiting to see if Segwit is adopted. I'm not a "big-blocker" at all, I've been a vocal opponent of Classic, XT, Unlimited, etc.

I believe it's time to speak honestly about Segwit, which I do not support, for different reasons. No troll. Flame away. Kano is a legit developer of mining software who has also raised valid concerns about the code.
