People with a load of money dont tend to brag about it, theyd rather be discrete. Nobody of any real means wants others to know their personal wealth.

Im pretty confident of that btw.

As if those with a lot of wealth can actually prevent anyone from finding out. Delusion much.

Still, your idea of decentralized forum will never work.

People will be abusing it to hell. What if CP lovers be the majority there? Hard/Centralized moderation is the only choice.

You seem as usual to not comprehend anything that Shelby designs and writes about.

The entire point is decentralized moderation. That means you can select mtwerp to be your moderator if you want and he can hard delete everything that you will ever see. But others can still find the content if they wish to choose a different filter of the blockchain data.

As for spam, that is simple. You spend something to post. Small enough that you dont care, but large enough that spammers do care. And besides, if you are given the tokens to spend with for free, and those tokens are appreciating in value, then you are not spending anything. But the spammers will not be able to get those tokens for free, because they are not real people. But if you prefer to remain an anonymous little shit poster, then yeah youll need to buy some tokens. Might cost you 10 cents a month. Dont know if you can afford that though?

then you could figure out how much trolling you would allow before you took some actions and whether flaunting a previous ban would be good for your forum? Oh, that's o.k.. just let banned accounts come back and do whatever the fuck they want. Roll Eyes

You cannot understand anything Shelby designs or writes about. You continue to make technological and economics errors every time you reply to anything he has proposed or written about. IOW, Ignore (which is precisely what a decentralized moderation scheme enables).

I put him on ignore because he quoted and responded to our resident troll too much.

So youd also cut your dick off because someone pointed at you and yelled rape? God misplaced the discernment module when he conceived you.

If someone wants to use cryptocurrency as a means to handle everyday expenses, then he recommends people just use one of the multitudes of altcoins available.

He tells me (via Crypto.cat) that your summary is accurate although lacking details such as the fact that Satoshi miners have no choice but to defend against some other miners using the booty to finance double-spend attacks. And Core is one of those altcoins you mention which he stated can be used as a checkbook, but which should be differentiated from hodling large value in which security is the paramount concern. And there is the post he made where he explained the technical reasons that all of LN (that remains when it fully centralizes as it must) can eventually be done on the real Bitcoin as well without the Core cruft added.

Certainly, I take any posts and posters with a BIG ass grain of salt

Yup that is quite evident. Everything goes in one ear and flies out the other, nothing stuck inside to be worse for the wear and tear on actual thinking.

(I'm still not convinced there is except to those who are exceptionally ~~paranoid~~[not airheads like most of us in this thread])

FTFY.

IOW, the SegWit booty donations are not a low probability outcome. More like virtually guaranteed. We just have to wait for the booty to grow into the millions of BTC.

This is a good case of how those with lower IQs are unable to differentiate their peers with higher scores. Hence why every tenth person is "a genius" according to the general public.

Well Shelby admitted that. How would you define genius?

Your statement implies a claim that your IQ is high, but your analysis of the future of the US stock market lacks insight into the coming dollar short vortex which Shelby has written about.

What is the virtue of genius if you lack the resolve to feed your brain with all available data? What is the virtue of genius if you waste it in the W.O. thread of airheads.

And what good case have you proven? Data? Or did you just pull that out of your pompous, self-important asshole?

I understand his desire not to want to rewrite the same arguments over and over again but couldn't he avoid invoking the ire of the mods by simply making a nice blog and linking to the relevant articles?

WTF? So you get to discuss and he has to relegate himself to non-interactive communication because why? Because airheads prefer a forum that is an echo chamber. No the problem is that Shelby needs to go to a forum of his peers that does not exist. His peers being those non-geniuses who dig deep into technology. As he has been doing with @keean:

https://github.com/keean/zenscript/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc

Two peas in a pod over there. And most of you will not understand any of it.

I never suspected there would be a transaction capacity issue. Then I came to the conclusion that it was a governance issue and the blocksize thing was just a symptom.

And you continue to make mistakes in your analysis, because you do not understand economics.
I would tell you to read @anunymints posts because he recently explained everything, but all the effort is nuked.
So relax, mtwerp protected your blissful ignorance and high IQ genius echo chamber.
