Which is that the transaction code should not be stripped away.

You do realize that by putting the blockchain data on a 2nd layer, you are essentially creating a centralized database.

Why are you talking about a random proposal that just appeared recently, when I was not even defending/arguing said proposal? You're becoming a bigger waste of time than franky. It is clearly obvious that these kinds of discussions are way above your knowledge and current comprehension.

This only goes to show how determined the forces aligned against Bitcoin are: RealBitcoin is a pretty old account, and yet the account only turned into an anti-Bitcoin propaganda merchant in the last few months.

If you read about intelligence/espionage practices, this is a common strategy; it is effective because foolish people believe it when the agent refutes the allegation thusly: "Deep cover, for X NUMBER OF YEARS? You're paranoid/that's ridiculous". To increase effectiveness, increase the value of X.

Yes, sure, as If I have nothing better to do with my time than to spread propaganda or whatever you think I am doing.

No. I am just too long in bitcoin, and don't want it to fail. And I know exactly how flawed can solutions be, if they come as an argument from authority.

If you had read my previous post, you would have seen that my criticism is merited. People do make mistakes, or do have malicious intent.

And the people having malicious intent might pose as saviors. I can guarantee you I have no malicious intent toward bitcoin, as I said I am an old bitcoiner.

But if people fuck up bitcoin with shitty uppgrades, then we will all lose, and who will you blame then?

If bitcoin is to survive, then users need to be open minded, and not call everyone a shill or a troll.

Otherwise this is just an echo chamber or ignorant people. I find it insulting to call me a shill, when all I do is question arguments from authority.

Thx - and this kind of critical thinking is absolutely needed in bitcoin and gladly (still?) possible here in bitcointalk - look at reddit/bitcoin where you can joke only in a closed environement - how boring!
