I am going to repeat this ad nauseam until you get it : Blockstream's business model is not dependent on SPVP and its core integration and neither is this proposition conferring them any advantage whatsoever considering its neutral, open source nature.
You are as stubborn as a mule...
talk about a contradiction. you're like a chameleon:
In that sense, you are right that SPVP is crucial to their success because it is the only way they can create these ambitious extensions of Bitcoin I'm sure they have in mind.
I should've expect that reply, you are much too shallow to understand intricacies in an argument.
These extensions to Bitcoin I'm referring to that require SPVP are of the open source domain. None will be proprietary to Blockstream or their client. Blockstream's goal is to build these decentralized platform to allow the open source community to create innovative services/chains on top of them.
If in the end SPVP is not integrated, which IMO would be a considerable loss to the ecosystem, then they will model their services around federated sidechains which is likely to be, anyway, the preffered choice of their clients.
hmmm, you sure talk like you're an insider to Blockstream. is that you Greg?
how would you know that the spvp enabled SC's will be open source? that's up to whoever contracts with Blockstream to build them. the rules will be whatever they want. i've already pointed out how you love to throw the term "open source" around to drive all the juices and get support of the devs reading this thread but the fact of the matter is that Blockstream will be paid good money to construct as many SC's, be they federated or spvp related, for any willing buyer.
i have $21M that says i'm right.
