This is sad in so many ways. To sum it up :
*2. No alternatives to resist this.

You can very easily resist this. That's what this topic is all about. Simply refuse to "upgrade" to 0.8.2.

This is sad in so many ways. To sum it up :
*1. One guy is deciding stuff. Backed by thedev group; not very decentralized.
*2. No alternatives to resist this.
*3. Bitcoin no longer equals 100mil satoshis! only 00000 !!!
*4. Goes against the ideology of the original paper by Satoshi which clearly states that btc is created for small transactions.
*5. I believe value of btc will rise. at 184+ you wont be able to pay in pennies. At 1842+ not in tens ofpennies. At 18416+ not in dollars. [I believe btc can rise upto this value]
*6. The sum of 54.3uBTC was chosen based on 'current value in dollars' it seems. Disappointing! Why are we comparing to fiat? We aim to move away from it.
Practically this is a change in the protocol and the way bitcoin works.

Let's see the power of the free-market flex its muscle and boycott an upgrade.
I think this will actually be a good experiment. It will show the world that we aren't being led by the nose by a few devs.
Don't get me wrong, I have all the respect in the world for the devs, Gavin included.
But this is not a popular fix. I think it's safe to say the large majority of Bitcoiners DO NOT want to block microtransactions.
Let's show the devs who's boss and refuse to upgrade to 0.8.2. unless the "patch" is removed.
From what i've read, what your saying is that 0.8.2. is going to not allow micro transactions? What defines a micro transaction?I think this will actually be a good experiment. It will show the world that we aren't being led by the nose by a few devs.

You mean who? Gavin. Gavin now decides how we spend our Bitcoins.
Op make a poll!
Gavin has an ego and it needs to be under control, he is doing interviews now instead of fixing the blockchain bloat the correct way, not thru censorship of transactions. WELCOME TO BITCOIN BANKING!

Bitcoin was designed to be divisible by 8 decimal places, If we are removing some of those decimals we are undermining the entire structure of bitcoin!
I can fully understand and agree that a transaction of .00000001 should be blocked though
If you want the debate over the reasoning or efficacy of the "patch" I recommend this link:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/warning-bitcoin-will-soon-block-small-transaction-outputs-196138
This is a thread for rallying boycotters who have made up their minds that this "patch" is junk and want to stick with the 0.8.1 client.

What is the dev's reasoning for blocking microtransactions? Is it to avoid people spamming the blockchain?
Yes.

Agreed, that's the point of bitcoin, so we can say f-off if we don't agree with what they think.
Its democracy, not dictatorship on how this shit is.
