Wow if anything kills Bitcoin, its gonna be the devs.
They are restricting innovation on the platform, even with a good way to handle this situation using OP_RETURN 80 bytes.
More innovation on Bitcoin = more widespread use of Bitcoin = higher security of blockchain
vs
less innovation on Bitcoin = less use of Bitcoin platform = less security for projects like msc, xcp. Which are innovative, with non-hostile intentions
Even if cityglut told me to stop posting, I can't just sit down while watching XCP falling apart.
Having 200 non technical people trying to protect their 2 burnt BTC insulting the BTC devs and adding their irrelevant 2 cents is the way to go, definitely.
Back to reality, no one from the core devs has been consulted, and they can get rid of the 'XCP parasite' in one commit if they want.
It was an interesting project, with talented devs, but the greed and overall retardness of the so called 'community' on top of the terrible lack of communication in general was the last nail in the coffin.
Time to dump until the news spreads, and move to something else. Thanks for the five folds profit. Hopefully Ether or whatever will make things right, control their community, and have a clear communication with all people involved.
