OK so Shillbert makes a last-ditch effort to save the Core team and Blockstream's $75 mil.
This has nothing to do with Core nor Blockstream. That is an attempt to turn Bitcoin from a consensus based system to a 'consensus-by-proxy'.
lol. BarryCoin, #REKT at birth
These attempts at centralization are really absurd.
My view...(not that I know what I'm talking about in this epic cluster) is that there will NEVER be an agreementas long as they want a hard fork to increase block size.
Bitcoin Core Devs will just block this ...like BU blocked segregated witness
No. You are very much mistaken. Almost all the Bitcoin Core developer are
in favor of a block size increase (except Luke-jr and some others) when the time is right. They just favor Segwit right now and strongly believe that there is consensus behind it (and there is, among users).
So basically all these people get together - agree on something - all have different agreements. Perhaps they all should bring a translator next time. Massive communication breakdown somewhere.
Remember the analogy that was previously used:
Should passengers decide how to design and build the plane instead of the engineers? This agreement is a modification, where the wording 'passengers' is replaced by 'businessmen'.
This can easily be verified as fake. There is no trace of his email on the bitcoin-dev mailing list, where he will reach all bitcoin-developers. Either he has been sending to a few people who he knew wouldn't be going to the conference, or he made it up. The only natural address for an invitation like this, is the bitcoin-dev mailing list, where suggestions regarding improvements to bitcoin are discussed and reviewed.
