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...

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?

a. even doomad liked "emerging consensus" before he went full core cult in 2017
b. bitcoin unlimited is one project of many projects. with many wanting independance and multiple brans on the same level of all being proposals "generals" instead of 1 "major general". i was not advocating the brand bitcoin unlimited but in 2017 it was doomad that flipped his script and started trying to pigeon hole me as if i was part of "that group"
and he tried to pigeon hole me as if i was part of another group...

i do laugh that you think if i am against core authoritarianism i must be part of some other group..

ever realised in your own mind(without seeking advice from your cult) that you do not need to be part of a group, and independence is an option.. you know decentralisation and lack of central points of failure

im sure you are going to reply asserting your obedience and adoration of cores continued control and alot more scripted blubber ive heard from the same echo chamber of halve a dozen authoritarian long group minded idiots

so take a chance on yourself. take some time to really think for yourself and come back with a reply that doesnt sound like the usual dreams and wishes and echos of doomads cult
