Bitcoin replaces central, not commercial, banks

Quote from: VeritasSapere on October 31, 2015, 03:16:10 PM

Its a bit strange that the small blockists are so opposed to BIP100 consider that BIP100 would allow the miners to decrease the blocksize if they determined this to be to their advantage.

Jeff Garzik, originator of BIP100, has himself stated it is unlikely (read:impossible) that BIP100 gets adopted so there's really no point debating it.

We are opposed to it because we understand the game theory dynamics of Bitcoin which quite obviously you don't Undecided

For example you don't understand that there is no such things as "the miners" as a group.

I support BIP100 in part as a compromise for some of the small blockist whose positions I can respect, like Aaron van Wirdum who I do not agree with, yet I respect his opinion and thinking.

I thought it would make sense to show you that Andreas Antonopoulos also supports increasing the blocksize. If I am wrong because I do not know what I am talking about and I am just some sort of "crazy XT fanatic" then surely you can not use these same "arguments" against Andreas Antonopoulos considering the respect and wisdom he commands within the Bitcoin community.

The only respect and wisdom he commands is from reddit derps who don't know better.

You can not mention pride after what you just did. It is not an argument by authority, I have already made my arguments, which are separate to the position of Andreas Antonopoulos. I mentioned his name because I am being ridiculed for wanting to increase the blocksize as if I am the only person who thinks that, which is obviously not true, furthermore because of the constant ad hominem attacks, I thought it would make sense to show you that Andreas Antonopoulos also supports increasing the blocksize. If I am wrong because I do not know what I am talking about and I am just some sort of "crazy XT fanatic" then surely you can not use these same "arguments" against Andreas Antonopoulos considering the respect and wisdom he commands within the Bitcoin community.

It's got nothing to do with you, him, me, Andreas Antonopolous or Santa Claus. It's about the idea. Is the idea any good.

Coming from the most notorious subverter of arguments on this board, not to mention one of those who (now) complains most loudly about the subversion of arguments, I'm surprised you're still working away, paragraph after paragraph, continuing to perform what is possibly the first ever world record attempt for an unhalting subversive stream of arguments.

This on the other hand is a great example of a non argument.

I do agree with the part that I have highlighted at least. I find that we can at least agree on some things Carlton, like bandwith and latency being the primary limitation for blocksize for instance. I also do not think that you would stoop so low as to falsify my quotes, like these unethical people just did, while at the same time not even understanding why this is wrong.

I can tell you that IGoogle & Amazon have absolutely no problems running my full node and neither do the people around methem.

Of course some people will not be able to run full nodes forever but we should not expect them to especially when the sacrifice that this would require would be to great. With sacrifice I am referring to limiting the amount of people that can use Bitcoin.

The repeated argument to ignoramus (Andreas Antonopoulos) are the source of much lulz over here.

It is very revealing that you do not admire the work of Andreas Antonopoulos. Fortunately I suspect that most other people on this forum do. I will continue to follow the true original vision of Bitcoin founded by Satoshi Nakamoto and which is presently best expressed by Andreas Antonopoulos. This original vision of Bitcoin implies increasing the blocksize. You can disagree with this original vision, even though I do think that this disagreement would be best expressed in an alternative cryptocurrency instead of trying to force your own ideology onto Bitcoin.

Typical redditard homo-erotic fantasies of Andreas Antonopoulos and him saving poor African children with Bitcoin.

Don't you have any pride Huh

I have plenty of arguments. This whole you have no arguments defense is weak when confronted with real arguments. You are simply just not acknowledging my arguments which is not the same as me not having any arguments.

You should think very carefully why it is wrong to quote me saying something that I have never said, I do take offense to this. You should seriously consider apologizing to me for what you are doing. It is fraud, libel and slander. It also makes you a liar, putting your words into quotation marks under my name is wrong and highly deceptive.

You also do not know me, and what kind of a person I am. I care very much for the third world, it is part of the reason why i devoted such a large part of my life studying political philosophy, since many of the problems of the third world are caused by the first. I believe that Bitcoin can solve many of these problems as well. People in the third world do not need to run full nodes in order to be included in the Bitcoin economy, thinking that poor African people for instance need to be able to run full nodes is unrealistic as well.

Solve politics plagued third-world with more politics Cheesy

Your sick parody of who lives in the third-world, as if it consists only of poor African kids shows how intellectually shallow of an individual you are. You deserve none of my respect, and certainly no apology. Wink

I can tell you that IGoogle & Amazon have absolutely no problems running my full node and neither do the people around methem. So ~~my life and my~~ their experience and that of the people around methem does serve as a counterfactual to what you are saying. Of course some people will not be able to run full nodes forever but we should not expect them to especially when the sacrifice that this would require would be to great. With sacrifice I am referring to limiting the amount of people that can use Bitcoin.

The repeated argument to ignoramus (Andreas Antonopoulos) are the source of much lulz over here.

It is very revealing that you do not admire the work of Andreas Antonopoulos. Fortunately I suspect that most other people on this forum do. I will continue to follow the true original vision of Bitcoin founded by Satoshi Nakamoto and which is presently best expressed by Andreas Antonopoulos. This original vision of Bitcoin implies increasing the blocksize. You can disagree with this original vision, even though I do think that this disagreement would be best expressed in an alternative cryptocurrency instead of trying to force your own ideology onto Bitcoin.

increasing the blocksize up to the point that our technology will allow so that it does not compromise the principles of decentralization and financial freedom.

We are already well past this point, as many people have stopped running nodes because they couldn't justify the expense and the inconvenience of having their connection seriously burdened.

Now the question is not compromising these principles much more, because past 200KB or so they are already compromised.

Let's not even question this again because it's well known by now.

I disagree and we have discussed this extensively already so maybe we can just agree to disagree.

Obviously I do not support your extremist position that blocks over 200KB are to large. I think that Bitcoin can support much larger blocks without compromising decentralization and financial freedom.

It's not a matter of agreement, a lot of people have stopped running their nodes for these reasons and there is overwhelming evidence of this fact.

We are not conjecturing about whether they will stop or not, this already happens, I know many cases myself and they are all over the place in this forum and reddit.

Ask people who stopped running their nodes why the did they stop.

These are facts to deal with, not to agree or disagree.

I can tell you that I have absolutely no problems running my full node and neither do the people around me. So my life and my experience and that of the people around me does serve as a counterfactual to what you are saying. Of course some people will not be able to run full nodes forever but we should not expect them to especially when the sacrifice that this would require would be to great.

I disagree, I'm a very well off European with very cheap internet access and I personally don't think it is inconvenient nor expensive to run my node. Third-world problems are not my problems.

Boy you are something else ! Cheesy
