My opposition is not because they are trying to hard fork
not because they are trying to increase the block size to 8 MB and open up many attack vectors.
not because they are effectively centralizing bitcoin.
not because they have the biggest scammer as their speaker.
not because they have been attacking bitcoin and trying to take over for more than 3 years.
...
these are all minor reasons.
the main reason that i am against bitcoinCash is because they are going against the majority. we voted, the nodes, the miners, the businesses, ... and got the majority on the current chain that you see and is called bitcoin.
but you could not accept and did not respect the majority's opinion and still insist on your minority hard fork.
and the worst part is you are going against "satoshi's vision", the very thing you pretend to support. which is a decentralized system that works based on consensus of the majority not what some small group of people want.
and here is a question for you:
you say your proposal is the best, you claim to be the satoshi's vision, and lots more. so why don't you make something from scratch? call it Satoshi's Vistion Coin or SVC for short.
1. The current Bitcoin protocol is Satoshi's vision and an increase in blocksize isn't against Satoshi's vision, but the question is, is it necessary at this point in time.
2. Decentralization is being dragged into this whole scaling debate. On chain and off chain solutions. Segwit with side implementations (LN) gives a choice to users to choose how they want to process their transactions, no miner manipulation, if using exchanges is centralized, yeah then payment channels can be termed a centralized approach, just perception and it comes down to trust, still channels aren't capable enough to run away with your coins.
3. Don't bother explaininng how miners manipulate fees, incentivized spamming isn't no fluke. Bigger blocks leads to high fees, and then include the spamming. It is definitely costly, but when the spamming is controlled by a definite source or bigger pools (let's drag the centralized mining equipment manufacturer into it, Bitmain) then it is worth the spam to get twice the amount in transaction fees. Centralized mining.
4. I had mentioned in one of my last posts there is majority, super majority, economic majority and consensus, let the miners and the manufacturer be centralized and centered on their own profits, let the nodes decide.
5. Segwit2x is the apt option, gives both users and big blockers a choice, users don't have to process their transactions according to the rules set by centralized miners, and there is on chain transactions who prefer that.
6. BCC is a demo. If the majority supports for a hard fork in November, let be it, if not, the non-majority has the option to fork-off the network. There is no logic in comparing miners have heavily invested into mining, so what the Bitcoin users are doing?
