What are you talking about? Not only is this not related to the thread, but it is also false.

Very informative post here.

Do you guys have a guess on the behavior of bitcoin price after the hard fork?

if everyone is as close minded about this as you are i wish bitcoin a lot of luck for the future.
i like bitcoin, but it has flaws that needs fixed.. hence this thread..

and i cant see how fixing the transaction confirmation time is an "impossible feature" really.. if it took you an hour to get your money from the atm nobody would use them?

You think 2 competing coins is bad but are ready to risk it with a low 75%? We have already have had multiple soft forks with 95% so I don't understand why you believe that is unachievable especially when the polls indicate that over 95% of the miners are ok with 2MB HF. The core devs are also ok with a 2MB hardfork in feb/march 2017 bringing it to an effective 4MB. So the only real contention is the the timeline ... but that can't possibly be the case because even with an extremely rushed HF, segwit is going live before or near the same time as classic bringing a similar capacity increase... which leads me to think that the true number classic wants is 4MB or higher capacity by mid 16' where they do a BIP 102 bump and than copy cores work on segwit.

So if its really 4MB on the chain what is wanted this year ... do you think a compromise can be made where the 4MB+ capacity(likely higher because LN may roll out this year too) can be accelerated to later this year(Pieter already said that with high consensus a 6 month HF may be possible) instead of March 17' if we work together on the node drop off rate, talking about an IETF governance model for devs and mining centralization problems? Is this something even worth pursuing you think or are there other needs not being met?

What I fear is that it really isn't about 2MB or even 4MB ... but this is BIP 101 which is the highest voted for proposal. https://bitcoin.consider.it/
Are my fears unfounded... or are those numbers right and Bitcoin classic is merely a re-branded XT? If it isn't than surely a compromise for and effective  4MB can be found ... right?

HAHAHA if bitcoin is just for people that think they know everything on some forum then its DOOMED to die a horrible death..

I have dealt with "end users" like you before who refuse to even bother to do the most basic research about how something actually works and instead make "childish demands".

After you've gone and learned about how Bitcoin works then maybe come back and ask a question.

But to put it more simply - Bitcoin is not for you - so please stop using it.

So if you know how Bitcoin works then why are you making such stupid complaints and requesting impossible features?

While we get the devs solving your problem I hope that they can make me a time machine so I can go back and buy more Bitcoins in 2009 (which is about as possible as what you are asking for).

I use credit cards to buy things like 99.99% of the rest of the developed world (maybe you should do that to).

I see - well how about you provide the "fix" then genius and show us all how much smarter than Satoshi you are.

(am guessing you must have bought your account to be so ignorant about Bitcoin yet supposedly a Hero Member)

You've earned a "heroic facepalm" (I'll let someone else provide the image).

there should be no "exactly as it should" dropped transactions.

a transaction that is left unconfirmed for x amount of time.. 1 hours or so max.. should be auto confirmed..

this is a FLAW. this will keep bitcoin from being accepted in ANY business type setting..

Huh? It was dropped from the mempool exactly as it should (you haven't found anything to exploit at all).

There is a reason why merchants should not accept zero confirmation txs (so if you think you have just made some major discovery then I'm sorry to have to disappoint you - but you haven't).

some bit of news.. my transaction was removed from the system.. like it never happened..
i was able to resend the coins..

i wouldnt call that working as intended.. its a HUGE flaw in the bitcoin system that would be VERY easy to exploit..

These income seems dust today, but when bitcoin becomes more value in the future, they will be valuable and any signal income can be spent to buy things and incur very little fees.

Is there any estimate of how much longer this consensus gathering will take yet? I'm starting to get a little anxious here
