Hey you guys, lay off jbreher. I disagree with him, but he is polite and well reasoned...if wrong.
This thread does not have to be a total echo chamber.
Besides, he's probably kinda sad right now.
No. He's not well-reasoned. He lied many times to fool the newbies:
...
Sometimes, I state facts, and sometimes, I render opinions. I try not to exaggerate, I don't make up facts, and I try to keep my conclusions rational. When challenged, I produce rationale for my statements. Sometimes, I even get things wrong, but I always try to be truthful.
...
Not always. Sometimes you list your own lies neatly for everybody to see:
Those are not lies. That was posted in response to Lauda, who claimed something akin to 'jbreher never before made the claim that fully-validating, non-mining wallets add little to no value to the network as a system'. So that listing was refutation to Lauda's lies.
If you think that that fully-validating, non-mining wallets provide any benefit to the network as a whole, you do not understand Bitcoin. The only power such a wallet has is to amputate itself from the rest of the network.
The remaining bigblockers are the laughingstock in the Bitcoin community, all Jonald Fyookballs 2.0.
I think it is dangerous to count them out, they are playing a longer game than 2 weeks.
Mock them, sure, criticize, deride, eviscerate to your hearts content...but do not take your eyes off them.
Therefore evisceration intensifies.
