If I remember correctly, their volume was slowly growing and one day somebody fat fingered a sell order at really really low prices, others had some buy orders ready to scoop up the super cheap bitcoins and thought they had made a killer deal.  Somebody sent a message to the admins of the site and they reversed the transaction!  Obviously this scared off everyone and now very few people want to use it.

Segregated Witness Pull Request by grandmasta sipa

It's happening.  Roadmap right on schedule.

I wanted to post the same.
Pull request for SegWit implementation, Classic got kicked in the butt.
Man what a beautiful day!! Smiley

I say go post a new thread just for it, it deserves it I think. This one might as well be closed since classic has been confirmed as #R3KT by all economic, mining and technical factors now.

Re: Gavin Andresen's AMA on 8btc 21th April

Interested in what comes out of this because I really have not used core yet but plan to when I use a new setup and the issues around it seem to be big.

Gavin has nothing to do with Core, he's part of a rogue team that is pretending to "fix" Core..... oh no wait, now that particular coup attempt failed, he's promoting himself as a Core developer again. And endorsing all the technologies in the Core roadmap. Except when he's promoting 2 MegaBloat Classic to 8btc.com, that is Roll Eyes Must get confusing, pretending to be and think so many contradictory things, eh Gavin?

Not so confusing once you are accostumed to doublethink! BigBlocks are doubleplusgood!

Why would anyone want to ask him questions without the possibility of other experts debunking his opinions inmediately. Sounds like it's just another platform for him to sell some Bitcoin Classic.

Bitcoin is neither dead nor it will be dead in future too, and price drops is nothing new for bitcoin bitcoin has died several times but again it has rise and it will continue to grow in future too.
Have you heard about the stupid fucking log jam the Core guys engineered so they can offer their private solution called LN?

This is so amazingly separate from reality that it is clear you only want to stir stuff up.  Good bye and good luck Mr. Green Beret.

gmax is going to have to do thing like AMA's and such, to really sell the idea.
He doesn't have to do anything.
its going to be interesting to see how the network reacts to segwit being released...

i wonder how much effort it will take to get that 95% they want

I imagine they'll try hard and succeed for some weeks but eventually they'll give in.  Why would those that want any increase at all block segwit once it's out there?  Much of the support for Classic will just accept segwit size increase and continue lobbying for another one.

Re: 1 year from now 2MB HF will be proposed will you support it?

In the short term segwit should provide enough blockspace so there is minimal fee pressure.
but i agree if bitcoin isn't kept frictionless, if the plan is high fees and complex LN, poeple will gravitate to altcoins.
 
How can there be high fees if segwit doubles the block size that took 6 yrs to fill.
(i dont want high fees, just saying, all this bs by some about todays/tomorrows fees market is needed and wanted and structured)

The maximum size of a block (with segwit) becomes just under 4 MB.

Adam, in your quote it says "(such as 2/4/8 rescaled to respect segwit's increase)."
If segwit is 4 mb, there will be no need/network capacity for block increase will there, if we respect segwit's increase?
(if core supporters REALLY dont want 1.1 mb now, to tide us over, why would they want to increase on 4mb next year?)




Fees seem big but if I remember correctly they were higher back a couple of years ago, gonna go look at blockchain stats and edit it in if I find it.

edit: Ok looking at all time chart of transaction fees it seems we aren't paying that much compared to 2013 transactions. Check it:

whatver, i like the status quo, decentralized system much making sure teh rules are set in stone... Grin

Status quo is always in the middle of the bell curve.

Bitcoin's current features are the best possible ones known, and the most secure to our current knowledge.

Why would we wanna give it up for some progressive crap like 'classic' ?  So yes in this sense the status quo is good.

Yeah, if people wanted classic then we would have it by now, the market has spoken.

I don't think it'll ever replace the dollar but it will be a global store of value which will be increasibly more attractive.

Blocksize was more of a concern 2 years ago, with the optimizations core devs have managed to do it is less of a burden.

I think they just say that in public because it sounds way less scarier to the general public. Bitcoin still = oh_noes_drug_money, Blockchain sounds more politically correct.
