Are you really making your stand on 3 minute blocks vs. 10 minute blocks? That's the reason we're all supposed to switch blockchains, because you think 10 minutes is too long and 3 minutes won't cause scalability problems?
...
The reason I stress the protocol is that everything else can be fixed without switching blockchains. Hell, even if there's a problem with the protocol, it can still be fixed if you achieve consensus on the change. So why start over? If you absolutely can't work with the mainline client devs, you can always fork the client and stay on the same blockchain. Your ego trip would last longer too.
You are wrong. The developers aren't going to change some core things in Bitcoin, I already discussed this with some of them prior to making SolidCoin. The consensus from them was it was never going to change, and there was no purpose to it. You sound like them, are you one?
What these "developers" don't understand however is that people that use Bitcoin, actually want fast confirmations. They want a fast network. This is why SolidCoin is successful, it's fast and always will be. My other protocol changes are intelligently designed to protect SolidCoin from a variety of attacks that Bitcoin cannot. This isn't subjective, it's something that Bitcoin doesn't do that SC does. Your argument that "it's easy to make those changes" is irrelevant because no one before me made those changes and Bitcoin is still vulnerable to them regardless of your banter. If Bitcoin was to adopt them it's going to be a major PITA getting people to accept it.
On top of the protocol improvements SolidCoin's start has been many times more fair than Bitcoins. Again this isn't subjective. Educate yourself here :-
