The thing I really got from all these discussions is that Bitcoin is controlled by 12 miners. This is scary and is opposite to the decentralized nature.
I guess when big money comes in greed overrules everything and power grab happens.
If that's what you got from it, then you're either assuming that a majority of people would do things differently (unlikely), or that Bitcoin being controlled by 12 developers is somehow better (no thanks)...
Luke will you shut the fuck up? If your not gonna listen to what the community wants, then get out of this thread. You've sounded nothing short of a arrogant prick in all your posts.
If you don't like Counterparty, close the door on your way out.
What a clown. XCP is 100% dependent of BTC. Keep biting the hand feeding you, this is the only proper thing to do, you are right.
Don't come here crying once the value of XCP is 0 because of arrogant, clueless bozos like you.
all you need to do is fund some mining pools to run op_return 80 ... it ain't that hard... soon with this tx fee lowering the miners will be scrambling for dollars as the network starts the long road to making money off only tx fees.
mark my words... they will jump at anyone offering them cash so they can pay their electric bill. you know ever boom is followed by a bust.
mining is a business they could care less if they are mining gold, bitcoins or your mothers underwear. as long as it makes a profit.
