gotta love doomads persistance with person attacks and social drama.
So tell us how you'd prevent anyone from doing that without jeopardising permissionless freedom. Show your work, don't just provide an "answer". How do you stop any one of the billions of human beings on this planet from creating code that divides the Bitcoin community? Please explain. I'd love to hear this.
by having the original consensus bip and the community stick to it.
you do realise if core did actually stick with the 2015 consensus of the early version community compromise of segwit2mb. core would have got segwit activated in 2016 without the august 2017 hard fork (THEY call bilateral split)
without the diluting the community. without all the delay.
and i do laugh that you still think core should control the network without community "permission"
seems you forget consensus and again flip flop in and out of it
make up your mind. EG
"Tell me, what makes you think users and miners can't do what gmaxwell described? Show me in the code where it says that users and miners can't change the activation threshold for a fork. Oh right, you can't, because the code can change depending on what people run."
^ so greg does need users and miners "permission" - "depending on what people run"
but yea i expect a fip flop about how greg can push his code through because he doesnt need communities "permission"
then later a post that greg has to abide by what the community "permit"
but you forget that if greg is using a inflight upgrade that makes 45% of nodes not need to opt-in or out. for something to activate or not. then greg adds code for his 35% friends to kill off the 20% that vote out.
then only counts his 35% friends.
thats not consensus.
the code to allow th backdoor activate or F**k off should not be used again. and should be stripped out.
but now we the community have no control because core would just say "we dont need your permission"
and dilute the community down to any opposers of core.
if you cant see that core are now a central power house. or your going to flip flip to deny they are central.. (the core) your missing the whole point of decentralisation and your missing why bitcoin was created to solve the byzantine generals issue without having to have a CORE general
(dont reply with a flip or a flop about saying does or doesnt need permission until you have convinced youself which. and then decide to stick to that narrative..
you have for months flip flopped in and out of needing or not needing. so try not to state other people are wrong unless you are ready to stick to one narrative)
