Interesting Poll numbers..... looks like the majority of people think Blockstream/Core has only achieved their current position through manipulation. Not exactly something to be proud of. Well, soon we'll be rid of the lot.

The poll is legit. Thanks guys!

@BMB - you're on form today Cheesy

Hi, I'm Adam Back.

I have a Ph.D. and invented Bitcoins proof of work system. Satoshi probably ran away like a little pussy because he was afraid I would sue him for stealing my work. As such, Bitcoin belongs to me and I can do whatever I want to do with it. If you all don't like blockstream and my new direction for Bitcoin then you can suck my ass with a straw.

Thank you,

The real creator of Bitcoin.

Dear Adam,

I know you like to frame yourself now as the founder of bitcoin. But we both know that is not true. You took your hashcash idea and turned it into a failed email spam blocker. But I took hashcash and used it as the foundation of an P2P electronic cash system, which 7 years later is used by millions and has a market cap of $6.5Bn.

I understand your utter frustration at this. But you have to let it go. Raging on twittter, employing trolls, condoning criminal DDOS attacks and subverting my original vision will not bring you any joy. I designed bitcoin to resist such acts of small mindedness in a transparent and unyielding fashion - the majority will decide which way they want to go.

Again, let me say how sorry I am for your lack of vision.

hugs & cuddles

Satoshi.

Thanks for your support (Ricky_T)! Please accept this complimentary copy of the Oregon Trail, courtesy of the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium. Assume the role of a wagon leader guiding his party of settlers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon's Willamette Valley!

Side 2? That would be a 5 1/4" floppy. What am I, some kind of animal?

LOL Wow, that looks like a state of the art version of Oregon Trail. I remember having to load it up with several floppies and learning PRODOS to get it running on the old apples that were contracted out to the elementary schools when I was a kid. Is that new version one of Blockstreams latest projects? Nice!!!

Thanks Blockstream!

If you hadn't taken over Bitcoin Develoment and so utterly screwed it up, and destroyed the public perception and reputation of Bitcoin, making it look like it was run like a team of retarded squabbling monkeys - then my bitcoins would probably be worth over $1000 each by now. It is amazing that only 9 months ago everyone was looking at Bitcoin as Digital Gold, a Safe Haven Currency that people would run to in the event of a Global Financial meltdown.

Thank God you were able to completely screw that up by the time the recent meltdown occurred. So now, instead of people flocking to bitcoin as stock markets tank - people are selling their bitcoins.

Whew! Glad I dodged that ugly "money making" disaster

LOL

They have good intentions and are good people/coders [...] no drama, all people (miners, commuity, business) [....] happy.

Thanks (LiteCoinGuy). Did you know Blockstream's amazing off-chain methods are fun to learn. Watch as your employees' confidence skyrockets when they begin to realize the true potential of their own projects.

At that first visit I weighed 269 lbs. pounds. My goal was to lose 80+ pounds. Wow! It seemed unattainable at first. Could I really do that? So much bloat! Not on my own, I decided. I now had the help and support of my Blockstream^TM consultant. Having someone in my corner to hold me accountable gave me the strength I needed. Thanks Blockstream!
-Jenny from Craig

I'd driven by the Blockstream compound, but didn’t know it was like this. When I had the session today, I was amazed at how much I could remember. I even remembered something from when I was really, really young. There is something really different here. I have not been this happy and really smiled like this in a very long time.

In Satoshi I Trust

they have good intentions and are good people/coders, but they do a terrible job in listening and making consensus. just imagine what would have happend if they said they are okay with 2MB? no drama, all people (miners, commuity, business) would be happy.

now we have bitcoin classic. lets see how this will play out.

Hiring a majority of the devs of the inertia driven "reference" client has proven much cheaper than a 51% attack, highlighting a fragile facet of our antifragile currency.

Thank you for your interest in Blockstream^TM. Based on your response, I believe you have questions regarding (George Foreman Grill). Is this correct?

I'm appreciative that Blockstream^TM is allowing BTC to run this appreciation thread.

For now.

HEIL BLOCKSTREAM!
We appreciate that you are thinking for us! We the masses are unworthy! Save us from ourselves. Establish a firm grip of control!

PS... yes, yes, thank you for allowing us to continue to praise you! Not like those filthy maggots at Coinbase... those who dared think for themselves, to dream of independent thought, unchained ideas, alternatives. Dogs and Scoundrels the lot! Brrrrr.... the thought that such chaos was so close to being unleashed sends shivers up me spine Sad

I would like to send out my heartfelt thanks to Blockstream. There's not many people watching out for those of us who receive our blocks on floppy disks. If we went to 2MB blocks, my post office bill could double and floppies are getting hard to find these days too.

Blockstream^TM recognizes that the ability to make an unbiased decision is sometimes affected by other interests (personal or professional) of individuals in the organization. Such conflict of interest situations are a regular part of organizational and personal life and cannot simply be eliminated.

The objective of the following policy is to permit Blockstream^TM to manage conflict of interest situations successfully and resolve them fairly.

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.

We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by forum, Twatter and mailing list, with all our might and with all the strength that the interwebz can give us; to wage war against a monstrous bloat, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of crypto. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim?

I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of full blocks, victory, however counter-intuitive and convoluted; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for Blockstream^TM, no survival for all that Bitcoin has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards open systems, open standards, open source.

But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, "come then, let us go forward together with our block-chain."
