Topic: discusses Bitcoin Scaling (Read 301 times)

he has a point about forget the price and instead concentrate on the infrastructure..
as the concentration on the infrastructure will take care of the price as a side positive effect anyway..

but his understanding of the debate seems to be more of reading the reddit doomsday scripts, rather than the reality.

its core that have all the splitting the network crap. (bip9 that can activate below 95%) (UASF) (PoW algo changes).
core are the ones with wanting the TIER network not the decentralised diverse PEER network

if core is having issues getting consensus they need to NOT press their red button doomsday bombs but instead THEY need to compromise with the community.

the community was going with 8mb base block then lower then lower. and now even dynamic where (heres the truth) the nodes set the limits and pools follow what nodes prefer as a majority.(nodes have 2 limits. pools follow and adjust the lower limit not upper limit)

core can level themselves and unite their side with a few lines of code. rather then get everyone else to rewrite everything for cores half promises

..
as for the arguments of 'giving pools the power'
again only core have done this when they went soft.

...
the consensus was segwit would be accepted if a baseblock increase was part of the deal. core renigged that deal by pretending what they signed meant about just as much as asking their evening carpet cleaner to turn up. pretending they had no power.

core need to take a step back and do something the community want.

dynamics and segwit seems the only compromise which was the original late 2015 debate. so they need to reagree to do it. not hold the network hostage with their doomsday red buttons. while pointing the finger else where blaming everyone else.

they know they cant blame bU. because be has not big red button. they shouldnt blame pools because no matter what pools make, without consensus it will get dropped in 3 seconds.

core need to realise going soft and avoiding the community was CORES mistake, stop acting like gods, admit they are human and realise that the community is more important then devs god complex

Mr Madbitcoins and vinny think its a "roger vs" debate.. its not..
when will those blockstreamists wake up that there are many more people against cores dominance then just roger.
seems they are repeating that rhetoric to feel like core should win. by pretending there is no community divide by pretending its just a 1 man vs

they are both trying to say anyone against segwit is impatient..
yet its core making dadlines and threatening the doomsday buttons while trying to play the victim card.

the solution is simple.
core add just a few lines of code and give users more control and devs less control.

all the dynamic and base block increases are patient and not set deadlines..

im about half way through the video while writing all this.. and all i can see is 2 guys deep in the blockstreamist camp that have no clue about what segwit really does and actually works beyond cores 30 second elevator pitch.

all they care about is getting core activated without actually understanding it.
they pretend core are going slow.. yet core have all the deadlines and red doomsday nuke buttons. they only thing they are slow on is what was actually asked at the consensus meetings.

Thanks for sharing pal, it's informational very educative.
