Kano will we be mining segwit here? Just curious, I know your feelings on it from a previous post. Just curious if you'll incorporate it here?
Well, I guess you aren't really sure of my feelings then
We mine what the bitcoin network deems we must mine.
No one can mine segwit until a fork.
I may not be lol. I just read a article where antpool stated they wouldn't be or something like that. It lead me to believe pools had a choice.
That's a different issue.
That's regarding supporting a fork, or not.
No I don't support the fork, as I've made clear, but no I also don't throw blocks away
If bitcoin moves to requiring support of segwit, then yes we would have to support it then.
However,
the bitcoin devs, in their little centralised master control of BTC ivory tower, want to change bitcoin so they centralise and control transaction fees.
Aside: they also only work on bitcoin if they are paid enough - this fact was made clear to me, directly by "Wladimir J. van der Laan" who effectively runs the bitcoin git.
They like their little god structure where they can ignore the miners who confirm the transactions, as they showed with BIP100 where support of it was very high, but the devs canned it coz it didn't go with their Lightning network plan to move the transaction fees from miners to them.
The bitcoin design is quite clearly stated by Satoshi.
Mining reward will shift to transaction reward so that bitcoin will continue on it's solid foundations.
That isn't where the devs are trying to move it to now with their greed with the Lightning network to take away the growing transactions rewards, which will grow as expected with the original bitcoin design.
Their design is flawed, however, and hopefully will not get enough support, so I guess it's just a question of how easily people are conned into it.
