I guess the new strategy from Gavin is to submit a bunch of proposals, in the hope that he might find one that the community would support. It reminds

me of the days in school when we had to vote for the Head Boy or Girl.... They would do the strangest things, going from group to group and targeting

them from different angles to gain popularity. {This would happen months in advance} ....Come election day, they covered all bases and they win the

position. Sneaky MOfOs... but they got the titles and the power. Roll Eyes

Very funny - but as CIYAM is not a VC backed entity (nor makes any profits at all) I'm not quite sure that the humour would make sense to anyone at all.

If I am missing out on some profit that you guys think that I am making then I'd like to know where to get that from (my wife would be the first to want to see these profits). Cheesy

I plan on using Bitcoins as a convenient, very-low-cost means of exchange.

I don't plan on saving a significant number of Bitcoins as a store of value.

Micro Guy you're somebody in the Bitcoin world! Your opinion means something! It would be a shame if you quit to Ripple wouldn't it ??

Thank you for all your amazing insights It's really appreciated!

Especially the arguments in favor of hard fork are amazing. We learned so much.

Thanks a lot.

Then why haven't they paid me one cent yet?

I'd expect some payment so far - wouldn't you?

So let's solve this problem - I would ask the Blockstream guys to say if I'm paid by them.

(and now I have caught you out - as you know they are not paying me one cent and you can never prove otherwise)

We need people to educate themselves. Community understanding is key!

So you say this (implying that you are somehow better educated than most everyone else) and when you are criticised about it you have a go at the poster?

You are an arrogant asshole to say the least.

Now I'm off to go do what idiots do I guess!

I think they mean that objectively, not as a label. Good argument IMO; forking with 75% consensus has been analysed to come with high risk (apparently the maximum possible) of the attacking chain getting orphaned.

That would be the epitome of stupid, in the objective sense. Would it not?

Yes, that's true. Gavin is an idiot, and so is Brian Strongarm, along with any miner (of any nationality) who supports their idiotic contentious hard fork.

You'll need to include Satoshi Nakamoto into that group of idiots as well. Don't forget the 1MB block limit was only intended to be a temporary measure, never a consensus rule.

Nobody has done a better or more heart-felt and sincere job than @Bitfury of debunking the 'magical Visa with free tx 4eva, not a store-of-value' nonsense:

I grew up in Soviet Latvia and witnessed firsthand the elimination of my parent’s life savings. All of their dreams were gone when the Soviet Union and the banking systems collapsed in 1991. Then, like a nightmare, my own investment dreams were shattered in the global financial crisis of 2008. I knew as a child, and I know even more now as an adult that we, as a global technology community, can and must do better.

FACT 1: Bitcoin Is Not an Electronic Payments System Like PayPal

Many Bitcoin newcomers view the network as yet another electronic system for instant payments, like PayPal or Visa. Right here we have a very substantial difference in opinion. Bitcoin was never designed to confirm instant payments and believing that is its function is a mistake.

As Nick Szabo, the renowned author of smart contracts wrote:

“Visa and PayPal already exist, and within national borders they do what they do quite well. It’s silly to try to turn Bitcoin into yet another Visa and PayPal.”

Bitcoin is not an instant payment network and not a fancy replacement for PayPal or Visa. It is first and foremost a decentralized system, which sacrifices speed in favor of security. A key feature provided by decentralization is permissionless entry for users and developers — and it is thanks to this component that Bitcoin has grown into much more than a currency and has become a platform for Blockchain innovations.

Most importantly, Bitcoin is a new world created for anyone — especially for someone like me — who didn’t grow up in a world where “trusted emissary” was a reality and the idea of “asset security” was something other people in other parts of the world enjoyed.

So the answer to everything is actually "who is an idiot" rather than anything scientific?

That just shows what an *idiot* you actually are! Cheesy

But you can explain exactly why we need 2MB blocks before April?

So please do!

How will 2MB blocks kill Bitcoin?

Blockstream's SegWit is an experimental unproven workaround to a hard fork. Even so, BIP102 does not prevent a future implementation of SegWit.

What BIP102 does is prevent a fracturing of the community while also increasing on-chain throughput. I predict the proposal will pass overwhelmingly.

You have obviously not bothered to research a thing.

So your idea is that we should just change things due to politics not science.

I am sorry - but "I reject your reality and insert my own".
