I think I first heard this objection to a larger maximum block size from Peter Todd, Chief Scientist of ViaCoin
Topic: Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP. - page 384. (Read 2032266 times)
Gloves starting to come off already. Suppose it was inevitable.
I haven't read all his bog posts but he is showing signs of understand when it comes to engaging the community.
I can only imagine all these posts were written by taking feedback from lengthy consultations and he planned the release to capture all the fragmented interests in the Bitcoin community one buy one. Leaving specific interests to fight fires as he moves into virgin territory to start a new blaze.
I take my hat off to him he is creative and that's his biggest assets.
getting worse:
you know what i'm thinking, right?
coinbase looks to me like the next mt. gox waiting to happen ... can't see why you guys always rally behind centralised organisations for your self-affirmation. coinbase will be hacked or corrupted in some way, will you be singing their praises for what that brings?
That's a lazy assumption. It's naive to think that BTC can be successful without help from "centralized" organizations. Coinbase is far more secure and intelligent than MTGox, it's not an anonymous international exchange. They've also done far more than anyone here to help spread the adoption of BTC. I can't see why you assume that a Bitcoin business is bad for Bitcoin.
Mtgox was legit until US special agent Carl Mark Force froze its US assets.
Coinbase, with the support of The Bank, and tens of millions in freshly printed money invested should be doing ok.
But they'll sell you to USG. A la canibalistic US corporative centralization. Again and again.
No wonder they'll follow gavin anytime, anywhere..

marcus, the above poll results and the general tenor of support on reddit for Gavin's proposal clearly indicates that it is you who doesn't get it.
no, you. don't get it.
you are so self-important you rely on a few dozen yes-men to back you up. and reddit.
I'm no yes man, I don't agree on a lot of cypher's positions, in fact I hold some opposing opinions in equal or higher regard.
marcus_of_augustus is one although I don't agree with him on SC, or the fact that Devs should just be respected for their contributions, Devs had the opportunity just because they were willing to make the sacrifices that don't make them authorities. Some may understand code but lack experience to understand the big picture.
Cypher is open to learning and has deep understanding he has earned his respect. I don't like his character assassination either but it's fine with me it's not like it is unfair it's just we've been conditioned to be nice even to stupidity.
This video illustrates the difference between knowledge and understanding. nullc understands programing has knowledge about economics, he has made false accusations and uses his authority to back them up. https://youtu.be/MFzDaBzBlL0
Speaking of things that make the network stronger, davec is doing great work:

This pull request contains fixes from the results of a thorough audit of txscript to find any cases of script evaluation which doesn't match the required consensus behavior. These conditions are fairly obscure and highly unlikely to happen in any real scripts, but they could have nevertheless been used by a clever attacker with malicious intent to cause a fork.
Test cases which exercise these conditions have been added to the reference tests and will contributed upstream to improve the quality for the entire ecosystem.

Really? Only "contributors" have the right to raise concern now?
This thread is getting over pompous.
Just to be clear - will you please identify who first brought that argument into the thread? This thread is getting over pompous.
Your opinion is mostly worthless at this point, so I'm not sure why you create so much noise instead of solutions?
Why do you post comments on github commits, are you making code commits? Seems pretentious.
What evidence exists to show that you're less pretensions and create more solutions vs noise than cypherdoc?Why do you post comments on github commits, are you making code commits? Seems pretentious.

I took the time to design a countermeasure to one form of attack on the network and then put up fifteen bitcoins as a bounty to fund a proof of concept.
What have you done to make the network safer recently?

Je suis Marcus. Thx for carrying with this Matter. Going back to github now.
Gentlemen a time out would be appreciated. It's getting a little warm in here.
Can someone please point me to the specific details of this 20Mb blocksize increase, other than the http://gavinandresen.ninja/time-to-roll-out-bigger-blocks (not many details here)
I'm trying to find out if this is different to the last gavin update, where the rolling increase was proposed 20mb first and X% per increment after. Or if this new proposal is a different hacked increase to 20mb, thus requiring another hard fork in the future should this new limit need changing?
thanks

Talk about not getting it. Do you realize you just insulted the intelligence of those very men you dare speak of?
I can see you've taken Dale Carnegies course on how to make friends and influence people.

There you go again. They're not backing me up: they've indicated support for Gavin's proposal. Better to point to something objective in the poll and on reddit than simply sling mud like you're doing. But that's what you're good at; I understand.

Well if marcus says it, it must be true!
What, I can't comments on github just like the other 12 or so guys who did so?

marcus, never mind me. what's with you and Gavin anyways? I noticed you were racking up the down votes big time on reddit today after a series of characteristic disrespectful comments from you against him. What did he do, flip you off one time?
