Oh, stick a fork in it.  Five minutes of searching found that you’ve embraced “Bitcoin Unlimited”, “Bitcoin ABC”, “Bitcoin Cash”, “Segwit2X”—seemingly every attempt to divide-and-conquer Bitcoin in the past few years!—and you hate Core.

“Btcpop’s Preparation for Potential Hard Forks” involves your declaration “Btcpop holds an opinion on the debate (pro-emergent consensus)” (note BU link!).  “...Therefore, Btcpop will support all competing forms of Bitcoin and grant each option to our users.”  (Bold and underline in the original.)  “Btcpop’s Perspective on Segwit2x” is that “Bitcoin Core has become a anti-free market cult like bully in the Bitcoin space.”  Thanks so much for elucidating your opinion; but Core is sweet and kind, whereas I am a cult-like bully.  At least toward people who try to wreck Bitcoin.  Why, I might become downright nasty if I were to ever find out that Btcpop is “Leading the way with Bitcoin Cash” because “Btcpop’s owner Casimir1904, a Bitcoin user since 2011 and technical wizard, clearly understood the [‘Bitcoin Cash’ fork] event and knew exactly how to prepare.”  (Blah, blah, blah.  Genius, you are.)

What else did I find in five minutes?  People on Reddit discussing something which looks an awful lot like you tried to Sibyl attack with “Bitcoin Unlimited” nodes; I suppose that must be your means of achieving “emergent consensus”.  But if you did, the attempt must have gone over like a wet firecracker:  Bitcointalk user cellard found that “All BU nodes are… fake VMs from Roger Ver except a couple idiots that run it too” with a link showing nodes running, hmmm, “/https://btcpop.co - Free People - Free Market - Free Money - BitcoinUnlimited:1.0.1.1/”.

Interesting allegations there.  In five minutes; I wonder what an hour’s search would find.  Well, if you so enjoy (futilely) playing such network monkey games, it is no wonder you now say this:

Thats ofc nonsense, banning the Segwit2x nodes was pointless,

Thank you, Core, for those aforementioned “Network safety enhancements”.

Such a prolific little forker you are.  Tell me, Casimir1904, are you trying to convert me for “Bitcoin Jesus”?  Or are you ready to sell me some Bitcoin Cash Doubleplus Diamond Unlimited Super2X Plutonium ABCXYZQQQ?  That, I will buy—in exchange for my instant gale of contemptuous laughter.  I’m cracking up right now.  Literally-not-figuratively LOLling.  I needed that; it’s been a long day.


Edit:  I was writing this when Casimir1904 posted again; saw that afterwards.  I think I inadvertently answered it already.
