I don't understand how a self-respecting developer can seriously consider implementing such a horrible hack as a temporary solution.
You are being paid to develop Bitcoin, right? Then come up with a real solution, and not some half-baked, dirty quick fix....
Yeah im gonna have to tend to agree with this guy... There has got to be a better solution.
And this better solution is....?
(come on, guys, you are so smart)
+1 everybody shits on gavin, yet none of them are capable, or even willing to do his job. he's a volunteer, too, you know.
I used to sit on the board of a small non-profit (a community art gallery and workshop) it was incredible how many people, full of anger and hate, would not just criticism, but outright denounce, smear, and insult all of us on the board for any and all decisions we would work on as a group. I began offering the most vocal opponents a seat on the board, it was open to the public and all were welcome of course. NOT ONE STEPPED UP! seems like its a hell of a lot easier to tell someone how to do their job than actually take any responsibility yourself.
that's my 2 uBTC worth, its flying around in space somewhere if you want to pocket it.
