Well, I would bet that someone could sue him for false filing a copyright. He can't prove he is Satoshi. End of story.
What about our big exchanges, whales, etc?
Besides, the software and the paper were released under the MIT license.

What we are witnessing right now are the last weeks of bitcoin being the dominant cryptocurrency. Ripple and Ethereum are both going to fly past it in the near term. I think that the total collapse might be just a few days away before the masses understand that there are no longer gains to be made in bitcoin and start evacuating their assets to these two more modern cryptocurrencies.
More modern cryptocurrencies? Some are not even cryptocurrencies (like ripple)! Some others don't even work, yet they have a price that goes up and down (like Uno)!!!!! Get real!
As for modernity, you can try the bitcoin lightning network here!!! https://htlc.me/ Of course, it's on testnet.
The Lightning Addresses seem kinda long. Please send me 20 cents.
Go to the above address, generate an invoice on the "Receive" tab, then paste me the id of the invoice. You can also do it yourself. Just use different browsers for sending and receiving.

I don't understand why there is so much negativity about BCH here. I'm not a BCH fanatic nor a BTC hater, I hold both in similar numbers.
The fact is BTC couldn't get to an agreement on something, so a fork happened. The forkers predicted that BTC would get stuck, and that's exactly what happened. At the moment BTC is almost unusable. I ordered myself BTC miners and had to pay in BCH.
I don't really care for LN, but even if I did, I can't use it right now. I can use any of thousands of coins, some shitty some not, to send money for cheap, the only one I can't do that with is BTC, isn't that bothering you at all ?
The only reason this situation hasn't caused a much bigger drop in price is that BTC being stuck, people couldn't get it to exchanges. And of course the fact that many people are now invested in BTC without understanding the first thing about it, without owning a wallet and without having even sent any coin anywhere.
Sounds like you have no fucking clue, and you are just spouting off BCH talking points.
Good luck to you and your BCH, and get the fuck out of here. Bye bye.
With all the price drama, withering Bitcoin dominance and high fees discussion, Bitcoin still functions beautifully It will be a great year for the Honey Badger, no doubt.
Talk talk talk and blah blah blah have nothing to do with the functionality of the honey badger.
If the block limit of 1mb will inevitably be eliminated, why refuse an increase in the size of the blocks at critical times like the ones we have seen these days?
How do you tell critical times from spam times?
Currently 50GB of data is added every year, ie in a year the blockchain will be at 200GB. Also, it's not static data but a database. Not really an easy load. Whatsmore, a bigger blocksize will mean a faster growing blockchain. For example, BCH will have to face 400GB of additional data per year. Who will care to start a new node in a year from now?
2MB blocks, 8MB, 64MB, whatever you want MB is not the solution.
2mb would give Core time to implement LN and other sidechains.
It's already implemented. Not just a reference implementation, but production implementations by three (3) independent companies: ACINQ, Blockstream, and Lightning Labs. Tested on testnet that each implementation works with two others. They are now testing it on the mainnet. How impatient people can be? Should they put it in production without proper testing? Some of them are opensource, but support is not free. You realize they are rushing to put it to market, because whoever is first will get the bigger share of the profits from every institution who will be using it. But at the same time, they can not afford the screw up, so it's a balance between enough testing and hurrying to offer it to entities on the market. Be asured they will not take a single day longer then it is absolutely necessary.
I just hope they take their time and make it as bugless as possible! We all saw what happened with the bug that bitmain took advantage of.......
I'm all for a block size increase to 2mb. I just think that 8mb, as proposed by BCash, is too much, and will create more problems in the future, such as centralized nodes.
Lightning network is just one of many sidechains, and one which will atract institutional investors. I hope that in the future we will have lots of different sidechains, each for a function: one to buy a coffee, one for settlement between banks, one to buy cars, one to buy real estate, and each will have its own limits, and its own fees.
And I say 2.456745645 or 1.823456345634 . Why is it two? And once we start, where do we stop?
Enough with the gut feelings! First time we got some real traffic, we're gonna expand the shop? And then what? Store endless cheap spam for eternity?
