I am starting to think that this is the best solution, there are irronconcielable ideological differences here, that seem irresolvable otherwise, at least this way we will all still have the Bitcoin we want. I also think that this bests reflects the ethos of freedom and decentralization within Bitcoin.
We've been telling you forever to fork off. You dissenters are a minority and nothing else.
If you're not happy with the current development then move forward with your implementations and leave us the fuck alone.
If your code stands up to its own merits it will gain adoption but don't expect us Bitcoiners to be steered in by your political propaganda. No amount of bullshit is going to cover up for your technical ineptitudes.
I am starting to think that you are in the minority now, however this is difficult to measure or know, since we do not have any reliable metrics, and the forums tend to be disproportionately represented by people like us, the writers. Which is why proof of work as a consensus mechanism during a hard fork is really so wonderful. We will get to see what people really think when the market talks to us then. I look forward to that time when the pedal goes to the metal and people will put their money where their mouths are. We will see what happens, either way I am confident the fork to increase the blocksize will happen soon, I will be happy regardless of the support that it gains, since it will represent the freedom of choice, and that Bitcoin is truly free, governed by the economic self-interest of the masses.
Bitcoin will not hardfork anytime soon. Your only chance to do so, XT, failed miserably.
The miners are already getting behind Core's proposal and anyone trying to interject will simply be left behind.
Meanwhile you're free to spin-off your own altcoin because it's only going to get worse for you and your clique from here on out.
Yet you are the one that is continuously attempting to make it out as if there is consensus, when clearly there is not. Some of your comments even seem angry and hateful. There are differences of believe, which will most likely lead to a fork, whether you like it or not. I earnestly recommend you not to sell the coins from the other side, even though you insult, attack and disrespect me. I still wish you prosperity, peace, love and happiness.
You deserve no respect.
You are a blatantly disingenuous individual out to mislead people through political manipulation and outright lies.
You've made no attempt to learn from your previous mistakes and ignorant assumptions. You continue to pretend understanding issues you have no clear grasp of and naively play into the hands of shameless charlatans who prey on weak minds.
You've repeatedly stated you were open to compromise and previously claimed you supported XT only because it was the only scaling proposition currently implemented.
Now that we have a cogent alternative that has garnered support out of most of the developing community you refuse to budge or compromise and consider the benefits of the aforementioned proposal.
There is indeed no consensus hence why there is no hard fork.
There was no consensus either for opt-in RBF yet it got implemented, because it's a softfork.
There was no consensus either for CLTV yet it got implemented, because it's a softfork.
I think you can guess where we're heading, with or without you
