We shouldn't forget that franknbeans was telling people to support Bitcoin Unlimited, that to be with Roger Ver was the right side, and that users don't need to run full nodes.

I had to look into this Bitcoin unlimited thing: https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/faq/what-is-bu

Essentially Bitcoin Unlimited is not a restriction to a certain implementation of Bitcoin. It introduces the concept of Emergent Consensus (EC), which can and should be adopted by other clients like bcoin, btcd or Core. Emergent Consensus is decentralized decision-making in action

I thought for a second I might be reading a posting from Franky there but no, that's on their own website...but it seems like a perfect project for franky to get behind since he seems to relish the thought of "emergent consensus" and not some consensus that is brought down off a mountain in Moses ten commandment style...

Quote from: franky1
actually i was not in group unlimited.. and it was doomad that was the one telling people to not be full nodes..
but look at this Franky:

from their faq linked above:

How is Bitcoin Unlimited different from Bitcoin Core?

The blocksize limit is removed from the consensus rules, so that the node follows the longest chain independently from one determined by maximum blocksize.
the maximum size of a block is freely adjustable by the miners.
Nodes have the option to set the parameters Excessive Blocksize (EB) and Acceptance Depth (AD). This enables them to delay acceptance of extra-large blocks from miners by orphaning their blocks until they reach a certain depth in the Blockchain.


so you never supported this project ever?
