Quote

Bitcoin Cash has its flaws, many of the prominent people in their community are shady and their development process is flawed. But if you ignore all the stupid ways it's marketed, in some ways, it's actually somewhat useful. There was a huge need for some type of blockchain with the particular characteristics of BCH;

yeah until now crypto world has not a tech miracle like bcash Tongue

and after that he says Cheesy

Quote

Litecoin never really took off in a big way for payments, and LN is many years off from being a reliable way to pay (and comes with its own set of issues which make it less suited for certain types of payments).

this is what says every day Roger Ver, Jihan Wu and Craig Wright. Is liek to copy paste them. Are we sure that the old cobra owner of the account has not sell it? Is very suspicious that cobra-bitcoin get out from silence after so many years and the last 8 months begin to promote all of this.
Even dogecoin has more txs from bcash and every tech guy understand what centralisation will bring node of 20k $ as Craig Wright says.

ASICBOOST patent drama is another great reason to change the PoW to something simpler, we can’t have Bitcoin’s security dependent on patent restrictions and alliances. Anyone should be able to create the most efficient ASIC without being encumbered by patents whatsoever.

https://twitter.com/CobraBitcoin/status/971365176774680576

this account is very clear that is a Jihan Wu propaganda tool. Why Theymos has not say anything about this situation? Cobra must step down from bitcoin.org or removed.

Or maybe we could just try being adults about it and not be completely intolerant to different opinions. Seems much easier than making a big deal out of it, not to mention drawing more attention and publicity to the opinions you appear to be offended by. You're free to disagree, by all means, but you absolutely don't get to dictate what happens to stuff that other people own. That's kind of an important principle here in crypto. If it doesn't belong to you, it's none of your business.

once again.. Who cares what cobra or anyone else believes. He is freely to support what he says. I really dont care. The problem is that the same person and i talk about cobra is the admin of bitcoin.org. Bcash supporters not only support their shitcoin but they have a great interest to do whatever they can to destroy bitcoin. Who says that in the near future cobra not comprimise bitcoin.org with a malware or start to promote bcash as the "real" bitcoin and promote Craig Wright as the "real" Satoshi?
This is my problem dude. Not his opinion.

Sorry but I didn't know who is this Cobra-bitcoin in the Bitcoin scene or here in the forum as I only knew Theymos, Cyrus, hilariousandco and some other.
Is he really the owner of Bitcointalk.org? what's his username here though?

According to the following cobra is joint owner along with theymos:

as much as I hate bitcoin cash and I believe it is an attack on bitcoin, but I hate it even more when people call everyone that talks about it as "shills, compromised,..." and the worst part is that whenever someone is fucking with bitcoin and even puts it in danger everyone is dead silent.
the same person was trying to literary rewrite history by replacing Satoshi's white paper with a new one. and he is also pushing for a change in mining algorithm which is something that others including bitcoin core devs like LukeJr have been pushing for too.

i neither have a problem for anyone to choose whatever shitcoin he want and to promote it even this crap bcash. But i have a problem if this person that do this is the admin of historical site like bitcoin.org. This kind of site need really bitcoin believers and not ppl that promote shitcoins like bcash that is controlled by a bunch of scammers with their only propose to hijack the name and destroy bitcoin.
Imo cobra-bitcoin must remove asap from bitcoin.org or step down. Then he can continue to promote whatever he like as bcash, dollar, banks, IMF or whatever he like. Who cares.

But then Theymos has to come out and declare the "Cobra" Twitter account is not really Cobra, right?

But it's possible. The @Bitcoin Twitter account was also possibly bought and controlled by Roger Ver. It has been making tweets about Bitcoin Cash being the real Bitcoin because "Satoshi's Vision".

bitcoin.com is a roger ver's bcash propaganda site. Bitcoin twitter account has pwnd from Roger Ver the previous owner sell it to him. Everyone can imagine what will happen if and bitcoin.org will fail. This site is to satoshi white paper.

So, maybe, Roger Ver is behind and/or has a hand on this news publication, The Curious Case of ‘Cobra Bitcoin’: The Peculiar Anon with a Lot of Power if it's affirmative don't get what he's up to as Theymos was mentioned...

"There are a few characters within the bitcoin space who are anonymous but have enormous amounts of control over certain aspects within the bitcoin space. For instance, there is Theymos, the co-owner of Bitcoin.org, and Bitcointalk who helps operate those sites with Cobra Bitcoin. (Theymos also controls r/bitcoin and the bitcoin wiki page). Cobra was first introduced in a Github update over three years ago as the co-owner of Bitcoin.org alongside Theymos. Since then his commentary and Bitcoin.org Github requests have been very contentious."

CobraBitcoin is minor figure in Bitcoin world and honestly i'm not surprised to see people to join Bcash community. Whether his account is compromised or not, i'm sure Bitcoin.org is still safe since he's not the admin of the website.

This. Cobra has never been a significant contributor to Bitcoin.org. He's just leveraging his reputation as "co-owner" to make himself seem important. As David Harding points out:

Quote from: OmegaStarScream on March 06, 2018, 08:55:05 AM

I'm pretty sure JihanWU support Bcash too so It make no sense If we take his last tweet in consideration where he is against Bitmain/Jihan WU.

I believe Cobra has been using Jihan Wu and the issue of mining centralization as red herrings. The intent is to divide the Bitcoin community against itself. Inevitably, a hard fork change to the proof-of-work algorithm (with significant support) will cause a permanent, sustained network split. Who benefits? Jihan Wu, Bitmain and Bcash.

Last thing Bitcoin needs is another fork.

has not any sense in 5 months to publicly say that Bcash fork is an attack to bitcoin, then to promote a pow change to get the power from chinese miners and after that to say that you believe that ln will fail and the only solution is bcash... Tongue

And why bcash and not litecoin or any other shitcoin out there? What has bcash that has not any other shitcoin? Roger Ver, Craig Wright and Jihan Wu? And why bitcoin will fail if ln fail?
Whatever he says this guy has not any sense. Cobra-bitcoin was dark and anonymous for years. Finally before 8 months he start to tweet and to be active to social media.
I believe that his account is compromised and that the real cobra is pwnd or arrest or hacked or whatever.
I really dont care what Cobra or anyone believes. There are plenty of ppl that believes to shitcoins.
The real problem here is that this guy is an admin to bitcoin.org. If he is compromised then there is a great risk to this site.

I think it's not likely that account of Cobra was compromised just because that he started to support Bitcoin Cash.
And Bitcoin.org is still safe, because Cobra don't have full control of this website, he have same power as theymos.

Quote from: BitcoinHodler on March 06, 2018, 09:10:13 AM

but jokes aside bitcoin.org being compromised or not is a meaningless and dumb thing. bitcoin.org is just a website like any other website. people should never put too much trust in anything that is centralized. and bitcoin.org is centralized.

I think it wouldn't be a meaningless thing. Newbies who looking for information about Bitcoin are usually searching for *official* website of Bitcoin. Bitcoin.com owned by Roger Ver already become official website of Bcash, what if same thing would happen to Bitcoin.org? It's centralized website, but at least it gives correct information, not like Bitcoin.com.

He is not referring to this forum website but the actual bitcoin website (this is the chat forum and is (or was) owned by satoshi, now administered by theymos). If c0bra is down then they need someone else to hold rights to the domain. Too many eggs in one basket otherwise

for that reason imo bitcoin.org is not a safe bitcoin site anymore and that has compromised too.

I mean, sure, Cobra may have an agenda, or perhaps his twitter account was compromised, but tbh that single tweet doesn't provide enough information or even an specific reason to believe that Bitcoin.org isn't safe. Also, Cobra isn't the only co-owner of Bitcoin.org, Theymos is the other co-owner (as listed in the site: https://bitcoin.org/en/about-us#owners), so I don't think Cobra has full control over the site.

Are we thinking the accounts were compromised before or after calling for this radical and reactionary Bitcoin hardfork? If anything, splitting the current Bitcoin blockchain in such a contentious and ill-conceived fashion would only be of benefit to competing chains. It's not like this is the first time they've said something controversial. They also had some "interesting" ideas about the original whitepaper being rewritten. Is this more likely just a simple case of some things being said without thinking it through to conclusion? Is there even a chance they've reconsidered their priorities and had a genuine change of heart?

HODLing is an art, not just a word...

just because someone is supporting bitcoin cash it doesn't mean their accounts are compromised. they may have their reasons for doing such things, maybe he wants it to get pumped so he can dump a large amount and make a shitload of money LOL.

but jokes aside bitcoin.org being compromised or not is a meaningless and dumb thing. bitcoin.org is just a website like any other website. people should never put too much trust in anything that is centralized. and bitcoin.org is centralized.
