(FWIW, in some clusterfork of a Reputation thread, I mentioned that I would offer jbreher a (virtual) beer if he ever consistently repudiated his beloved forked shitcoins and Faketoshi-apologia, and admitted that he was wrong about Segwit, Core, etc. The offer stands.)
I might be convinced to share a draft with you some day. Yet you persist in slander.
I have not slandered you.
(Allegedly libelledlet us not lose that distinction!) If you point out even one factually incorrect statement I have made about you anywhere, then I will properly retract it.
I halfway wrote a long, detailed logical reply to younot to be argumentative, but because you sometimes come off as quite reasonable.
(Not to mention that Id toast the defence of the loose/lose distinction as a noble cause!) I thought it would be worthwhile. Then, I realized that this could be disposed more succinctly.
Preference for the BSV protocol != 'Faketoshi-apologia' (WhateverTF that might be).
My first encounter with you was in a thread focused on
Craig Wrights grand-scale identity theft, not technical issues.
Faketoshi-apologia == this,
inter alia:Wrights theft of Satoshis identity is factually false,
For this to be true, it would require
facts not yet entered into evidence. Sure, you have a mountain of circumstantial evidence, but from a logical standpoint, not conclusive.
[...]
If, tomorrow, I were to claim that Faketoshi verified a signature for me (!) on the same basis as his verification for Gavin, then that would leave only two realistic possibilities: Either (1) I am maliciously lying with the intent to support Faketoshi in a scam, or (2) Bitcoin Core developer and technical forum moderator Andrew Chow is himself so incompetent that he said the foregoing about someone who doesnt even know how properly to verify a digital signature.
Your set of possibilities omits a third possibility. And that would be that "faketoshi" actually did verify a signature for you. You evidently believe this to be "unrealistic". However, the very framing of the question in this manner precludes the scant -- though actually real -- possibility.
You wield your supposed razor as would a religious zealot.

With just a bit of digging, I also found you on record
defaming Segwits security with
the usual nonsense. I have sufficient technical competence to know that it is indeed nonsense. (That is why I am happy to keep my life savings in Segwit-native coins which I
cannot afford to lose, which I would
not entrust to unreliable technology.) It is not only a matter of disagreement about whether or not Segwit is a practical improvement: Youve said things that are factually false, which
I myself know to be factually false (not just because someone else said so), and which have been debunked so many times in such excruciating detail that I cannot imagine how any intelligent person can believe them sincerely.
And that entire matter of starting a brigaded neg campaign against me. Not like it hurt me in any way, but that's just fucking rude.
Ill give you this: You are not a garden-variety BSVer, the type who either lacks intelligence or has a few loose screws (or both). By process of elimination, that is why I
called you a liar. Rude? I do think that the world would be a better place if
people spineless jellyfish were less concerned about a false politeness than about honesty, freedom, and all those other obsolete concepts that altogether too often are cancelled because
nobody will speak up for them.
Bears mention on the Internet, where people get misunderstood: You have seen that I have no problem with being aggressive; passive-aggression is just not my style. I have stated the foregoing in good faith.If Blockalypse II comes and goes without the same sort of reduction in BTC Dominance that accompanied Blockalypse I, I'll likely acquiesce. In the same sense that I have waved goodbye to the sonics of 2" 30 ips tape. But repudiate the better design? Ain't gonna happen.
Hie ye to Hydrogen Audio for a fresh takedown!
Oh fork, doesnt Greg Maxwell have a xiph.org address? Its like them Core people are ruining the whole world for you, aint it.
