Thanks, very interesting. Similar as with the nodes, if you remove those that have not made an active decision (not voted, not updated node software) core and classic are very close.
I would not label nodes that have not updated to "don't care". There could be plenty of reasons for one not to update in X amount of time. That being said, if you are still running 0.11.x you are in support of Core. If you weren't, you would change the software.

I wouldnt call support for classic barely existing.
I would, especially if you read analyses like this one: A date with Sybil.

Looks like some sort of votes, hence Id like to see a source to see if there is anything behind it or if its just like a poll here.
I've found it. It is a chart representing the votes from Slush (outdated version of it)[1]. Currently it looks like this:



To clarify, there is barely any support for Classic. The chart was originally just used to try and to manipulate others into believing that there is strong support behind the contentious HF.

First bring all BTCoiners into big trouble by technobubble, than buy coins cheap once market reacts and finally invent nice joining-all soultion and be the hero and no techno is needed at all. Roll Eyes
One has to love the conspiracy theories, right?

I felt more searching for an proper scenario how this invemstment could pay back after this big dispute here and some just called to leave or worse not join BTC, but failed, sorry for that. Could you pls help out?

For me, if there is no block size increase (SegWit) after May this year, I will use Classic instead of Core.
So you're saying if Segwit does not get activated within this year you will switch to Classic? That's more than enough time to get it activated.

Classic or Core . Be same more or less
They're very different.

for me classic is better because they want to increase the block size of bitcoin as soon as possible and i like this idea

Yep. And my vote is to let this be done by Classic AND Core together. This is just a tiny compromis and saves the BTC heaven!

... KINDERGARTEN....!

Hope that does not need a convincing sharp price drop just to learn that.

Did I say LN =  "pegged alt-coin and pre-paid card model"? Your reply already indicated that your level of understanding for core proposed solution is almost zero, trust core devs and hope for the best is your approach
Your replies show that you are completely clueless and just rambling because of unknown (to us) reasons. Instead of bashing the people who have worked hard to improve Bitcoin over the years, how about presenting valid arguments? The Blockstream propaganda has no basis.

brg444 is the biggest ashole on the fourms
lets just leave it at that.
Not really, no.

Both Classic and the idea behind it is horrible. If you want to damage Bitcoin then that is the way to go.

Facts? They sound like meaningless opinions. Point to the sources and explain exactly what "Blockstream's business solution" is. If you're referring to LN (which Blockstream has no ownership of)...explain how LN = "pegged alt-coin and pre-paid card model" when its premise is bitcoin payment channels that are enforceable with smart contracts, where the state of any payment channel can be committed to the blockchain at any time when a participant seeks to close it, contract timelock, etc.

I said "If you're referring to LN" because you referred to "Blockstream's business solution" without any mention of what that is, except that "it is a pegged alt-coin and pre-paid card model."

So again, what is Blockstream's business solution, which you referred to?

If you are going to insult someone and suggest their understanding is insufficient, go ahead and prove it. You only make yourself look fucking retarded for suggesting it, when it's quite clear that you have no idea about the shit you talk about...

I only insult those who insult first, this is also part of the basic knowledge in gaming theory, multiple games

This has been said several hundred times: Nodes set their own block size limit depends on their preference, and so far they never set a limit higher than they consider safe

Rational =/= safe. Businesses act rationally; they go bankrupt all the time. And that's giving some leeway as to what constitutes "rational." Wink

There is no safe call when you are trying to predict future, especially when your only tool is science. Remember LTCM? A group of Nobel price winner scientists trying to make a hit in financial world and their mathematical model totally collapsed and they even need FED to rescue

Progammers should learn risk management and gaming theory before they even start to make arbitrary decisions to predict economy events

A good example is the fee market prediction: Devs predict that when blocks are full, people will raise the fee, but the reality is, when blocks become full, people go to other cryptocurrencies, from gaming theory point of view, users are not stupid to be manipulated by devs' price control

Game theory is exactly the issue--and you have failed to present any argument that remotely proves your argument from game theory perspective. What possible evidence do you have that full blocks cause people go to other cryptocurrencies? What possible causal evidence could you provide for human motives in that case? Nothing because you apparently don't know fucking shit about how logic and scientific evidence work.

What evidence do we have that when blocks are full, people raise the fee? Because....that's what happens. Recall any dust spam attack or "stress test", or any time when there is a long delay between blocks (1+ hour), and see that the optimal fee to get confirmed goes up.

If you are suggesting that alts like ETH are taking over the market cap? Well, all of their volume is traded in BTC at Poloniex. LOL. You think that is "new money" that is "not from bitcoiners" and that "this money won't ever flow back into bitcoin?".... If so then I'm afraid you weren't paying attention to the altcoin craze in 2014, while bitcoin drifted into a miserable longterm downtrend.

Your whole argument is BS. Trying to compare bitcoin to a failed mathematical model based on zero evidence? Great. I know people like you (and Gavin) are happy to break the system in any way because "it's an experiment" but don't be surprised that investors may disagree.

it just a political tool for Blockstream devs to push their business solution which are pegged alt-coin and pre-paid card model which have been abandoned by industry years ago

Please go ahead and describe exactly how this model works. Since it sounds so absurd, the burden is on you to explain it.

Why is it absurd? They are facts. If you don't understand, then you better don't use bitcoin, you will lose money if you are gambling on some concept that you don't understand

Facts? They sound like meaningless opinions. Point to the sources and explain exactly what "Blockstream's business solution" is. If you're referring to LN (which Blockstream has no ownership of)...explain how LN = "pegged alt-coin and pre-paid card model" when its premise is bitcoin payment channels that are enforceable with smart contracts, where the state of any payment channel can be committed to the blockchain at any time when a participant seeks to close it, contract timelock, etc.

You're whole "I'm too fucking stupid to understand bitcoin and I refuse to explain myself" approach is pathetic, I'm sorry to say it.

I would like to view your opinion about this.  Smiley

Keep in mind that you will get no unbiased opinions here. Every single poster here gave you a suggestion based on their goals. If you made an informed decision, stick to it. If you decided to run a particular software because someone else told you its good, inform yourself. I think this[1] is a pretty good neutral article and as was suggested in it, so is this[2] person.

Whatever you decide, make sure its your decision and not the decision of someone else.

I guess you are right. In fact, I think I will have some nodes with Classic and Core as well for testing purposes. I will be running each in testnet to test some BTC apps. As for Seg Wit, I have found it very interesting since it proposes to fix transaction malleability issues.  Smiley
