BlockstreamTM is taking a conservative approach. SegWit soft fork, see how that goes. Then Lightning Network and some sidechains and we'll be good to go. Isn't it? I don't "code" or have any particular "insights". But I can appreciate that.
I mean, 2mb/4mb/8mb, what difference does it make; it will never be enough for the sloppy mob of Backpagers pounding at the doors. We have serious business to conduct. Amirite?
Whatever happened to you... A wise man changes his mind sometimes, a fool never.
Congrats.
Not that blockstream knows the ultimate truth, they are at least better qualified than hearn/toomin/obama when it comes to cryptography and decentralization.
Let them do the code, whilst still not being forced to use it anyway.
PS: fuck gavin.
I flip-flop too much to be on anyone's team. I'm an outcast.
I always thought a contentious hard fork was a bad idea.
Lightning Network is the most exciting on Bitcoin right now, I can't wait to see it in action so we can forget the "oh no, not enough blocks! oh no my transaction is taking 10 minutes longer than expected!.." you know all that bullshit. Im going to be using LN cause it's going to be as safe as it needs to be, and it's going to be as fast as we need it to be. We will be competing against the titans of payment platforms in the next 1-3 years and I think this will change a lot of things in the game. Let's see how they deal with it.
LN is not a scaling solution.
