Just squeeze your butt cheeks tight and pray the tether train keeps chooching.

I like this brand of crazy. i hope you do a line of snazzy t-shirts.

ps. have a look at the 'binance in Zimbabwe' story and get back to me how bitcoin will protect us from "government"

What is the latest word you have on this that gives you such confidence?

This looks pretty dead at the moment.

LN only requires tx malleability fixes from segwit. There are other ways to skin that particular cat.

As regards BCH deploying an LN like solution - why not? As long as users are given the choice to continue to use Layer1 as before, then L2 solutions can be developed that offer real value propositions to users and their intended use cases.

What BCH wont do is force the issue by making the L1 solution unusable.

The github is the least nuanced source, start with this:

https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/04-onion-routing.md

Follow the links there to go through the other layers.

Ha HA!  Sorry, you old dog, I beat you to the dealership!!

Vroom! Vroom!

Have a Happy Christmas.

Its probably just last minute shopping. It will be fine.

Happy Christmas to all blockers, small and large.  

Have we heard anymore about his supposed knowledge of "Diamond"?

I recently heard a (brief) story about it, but with no decent sauce. Wonder if anyone here has heard anything?

You missed the point that LN, now using a version of Tor based routing, will be UTTERLY inefficient. You are trying to shoehorn fast payment methods into a subsystem whose primary objective was to obfuscate the very connections that need to be optimised to keep fees and time reasonable.

Have a look at bolts 4-7 specs to see how hideously complex and unfit for purpose these layers have become.

When they finally realise that this is not going to work on any scale ( like Poons original, now binned proposal) it too will need to be binned. Welcome to your next 18 month delay.

Solid point. One that is at the root of all the anti-BCH hatred.

Antbleed? Seriously?

The n00b seems to have acquired a more balanced understanding of how things work than the blinkered, force-fed propoganda that you are spewing.

People have a choice, they will pick what suits them. If you are so sure that you made the right choice, then you would not care. But it clearly bothers you when any users choose an alternative implementation: and thats on you, not them.

ripple as a 'system' existed. Ripple as a cripplecoin came much later.

Whether real or not should be immaterial. You should be able to figure out what is right or wrong in Bitcoin, without needing a "messiah" figure to tell you.

They are real, though, I agree.

The GMax butthurt is irrefutable confirmation of that.

I think you better go back to Bitcoin 101 and learn the basics; there are some grave errors in your understanding.

This is comical.  Seriously.  

I know you have absolutely no belief in that statement, but the ease with which you can utter it just shows the depth of your dishonesty.

Mind you, when all the hashrate disappears from BTC, you will have some headroom to think up a working L2 solution, so its win-win, right?  

What 'magic bullet" do you think segwit is exactly? What are you hoping for?

Its a simple malleabality fix that is not critical at this point in time. Thats it.

All the other bullshit you hear about segwit is just noise to disguise the politics of trying to push off chain solutions that dont yet exist in practice.

Oh dear.....   I suspect you are trying to pull a fast one on us here....


So why say it then?  And lets assume "anywhere near full" is, lets say, 6Mb. Why would you see a near 6 fold increase in just 12 weeks?

 
No it doesn't.


Long term, bitcoin as we know it will seem like a drop in the ocean. We hope.

Okay, if we lift the ban on name calling, will that get people posting again?   

Seems this was a prescient post, well ahead of its time. Probably explains the crickets from BCT's 'experts'

Between Hilliard and Luke Jr, there are several alternative plans out there. They will need to simply #UASF in the end.

They know it will end in tears, but that is where their course has taken them.

(Typical Luke - "I left the author blank because i dont want to get fucked over be seen to champion this" )

Thanks Ray.

I will host a copy here. After reading Welshman and Jeffrey's Hut 6 exploits, It will be nice to see how the US progressed.
