Topic: Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud) - page 69. (Read 378992 times)

There is some truth to this statement. Some miners would indeed sometimes choose to mine very small blocks, either way the real capacity of the Bitcoin network certainly would therefore be less then one megabyte.

You know the word ignorance comes from the word to ignore. I never ignore anyone, it is good to be continuously confronted with opposing beliefs, it tests our own conception of truth.

The great advisor for the streamblock shills.

You're right to say that, although I personally don't use Ignore for trolls (just for people who annoy me.... there is a difference!). Will these bankster shill-trolls not just spin ignoring them as another one of their "victories"? Probably, but I'm not going to argue against them forever, only as long as it takes to get real scaling solutions up and running.  

It is not. Creating a new account in order to help this "argument" doesn't help it at all.

Just ignore him. Either a paid shill or he does really need it. I've been telling you guys to put him on ignore for a while now, why haven't you done so?

Do it!

Seek professional help.

Some mined blocks are (and will be) very small, this limits the possible weekly average to much smaller size than 1MB.

750kb as maximum weekly average is reasonable assumption.

You are losing. You already gave up fighting against big blocks. Your proxy war against your hate objects (who are the trigger of big blocks coming) is the best evidence.

Next year, despite you'll realize that the devs were forced to remove the cap, you nevertheless will claim victory:

According to brg's logic yes.

Even face-punches are memorable though. It's possible that you're also just remembering it differently to everyone else 

I'll still  be having my own opinion on shit, for my own reasons. I'm just going to try not to fall into the trap of thinking that people that disagree have some ulterior motive. They might, but until there is hard evidence of it then any empty accusations on my part are just noise.

I still think you small blockers are crazy like

Punching someone in the face is still bad even if some other people are chopping off limbs.

Hal Finny is sucking up to the bankers?

LOL no.  Your problem is that you share so vanishingly little of Hal and Satoshi's Vision that you are almost entirely unable to grok what Bitcoin is all about.  The rest of your buffoonery flows from that initially flawed paradigm.

Yes, in and out of band fees are key to weening Bitcoin off block subsidies without starving it.

That's why I take care to always refer to fee markets in the plural, lest someone get the wrongheaded idea that we have limited mechanisms for dealing with fee backpressure resulting from continuously full blocks.

We're all big boys here, so no need to smooth over unruffled feathers.  All the bed-wetters who can't take a joke left for obscure rump forums.

Back when the looming possibility of catastrophic consensus failure seemed real, I was inviting everyone from all sides over to watch the fireworks at a Great Schism party.

sgbett, feel free to have a pop at me anytime.  The adversarial process is educational; clash is the crucible from which truth emerges.  Even if we have to exaggerate or typify our erstwhile fellow Bitcoiners as opponents in order to stir the shit.

Life would be boring as hell if everyone got along and never disagreed.  And that goes double for Bitcoin, which as we all know is powered by internet nerd drama.   

Mow is just doing his job, which is to make a profit for BTCC.  Using for marketing purposes the energy/hype/FUD of the Bitcoin Civil War is a clever way to do that.  Good from him.  The rest of us know RBF makes his USP fairly useless, and LN will make it obsolete.

As for memes, your stark, absolute denial of their importance betrays your lack of confidence.

Why don't you go tell Richard Dawkins all about how silly memes are?  Oh wait, you just aren't sufficiently educated to realize memes are as important as genes in shaping evolution.

This is is Bitcointalk, not a dry scholarly journal.  Here in the court of public opinion, control of the narrative does carry weight.

Perhaps you've never encountered the phrase "withering ridicule."

That tells us you are also insufficiently educated to be familiar with Saul Alinky's famous maxim "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."

Since you are a special needs type learner, I'll spell it out for you and t y p e  s l o w l e y . . .

We are not here to argue with you.  We already won the argument, after beating XT to death with our FUD stick and DDOSing the corpse into subatomic particles with the trusty old LOIC.

We are here to enjoy ourselves by making fun of you and ensure your Gavinista narrative stays dead.

Memes are very effective for that purpose.  The sillier, and thus funnier, and thus more memorable, the better.  In Dawkin's meme theory, that corresponds to fitness.

Your 'Bitcoin is dying Because Core' meme is dead, because it was less fit than our 'XT is rubbish' meme.

You are so outmatched here it's not even funny; you don't even understand the nature of the battles in which you desire to fight.

That's why Team XT is getting rekt like Ronda Rousey.  You should have touched gloves, Mikey.   

mike is done, still waiting for gavin to hand his key back.

XT. LOL. You proxy warriors are so funny. As if it is about XT. Gavin and Mike are the main trigger that the community will raise the limit soonish.
If you'll claim victory next year after you'll have been forced to follow the new limit is irrelevant.

Just put him on ignore like me and you will be better off. XT is a failed takeover of Bitcoin. Everyone should accept its fate by now.

Todd is surprised/concerned. I'm not.
