you need to dig way deeper than that rocks. have you been following all the comments since the paper release here in this thread? read them all and see if you come to the same conclusion.

I haven't had time to go over the 100+ pages on the topic

And it shows.

instead of making pronouncements, you should get into the details of what i'm saying to prove me wrong.

I have made several lengthy replies, that several others have supported, and each time you have not responded in any meaningful manner, and simply ignored the thrusts of my counter arguments to your comments by saying something along the lines of "I already addressed that 80 pages ago, take it as a given you're wrong".

I'm not even sure what you are claiming I should be worried about, let alone whether it is true or not. HOW does SC break the incentive structure? Don't hold back on the details, I'm a miner, a computer scientist, I've read the SC whitepaper (including the appendicies), and I've been working with bitcoin technologies for 4 years. Give me something concrete to be afraid of that doesn't involve crazy cypher pumping shitcoins.

But yet you would not trust my incessant buy recommendations during the entire year when you were subbed to my newsletter when bitcoin went straight up.

How does that even come close to answering my simple question? You clearly don't want to have a reasonable discussion.

I am in the exact same position as notme: CS background (good one), strong knowledge of Bitcoin internals built over 3 years and a decent understanding of SC.

Please explain with specifics HOW sidechains inflate the bitcoin money supply and break Bitcoin's Sound Money property or anything else. If it was discussed 80 pages ago, great then you should be able to easily summarize the past discussion into simple points by now. I believe I have summarized a few times why this is likely to not be the case and why what is being described is simply the (ever present) altcoin threat and nothing more.
