Hearn certainly had a quite narcissistic personality. He was easily offended if his ideas were rejected for good reason. It's quite a relief that he together with Gavin did not succeed with the attempt to weaken network decentralization by pushing for an excessive block increase. I'm quite sure that he would still try destroy bitcoin if he had a chance to make his defeat undone.
Hearn's and Gavin's attempts to seize control of Bitcoin development will not remain the only ones. We as a community must stand together and always stay vigilant to defend Bitcoin's decentralized nature against usurpation by those who seek power and control.
ya.ya.yo!
what if i told you that wanting "block limit increase" is not actually being a big blocker..
what if i told you that wanting "block limit increase" is NOT actually being a hearn fanboy, or gavin fanboy
what if i told you that wanting "block limit increase" is NOT actually being a classic/xt cult member
now heres some stuff you can read and spend some time researching to open your mind further
knowing bitcoin 1mb blocks average capacity is 2500tx (as oppose to the dream that is mis-believed of 4000tx)
what if i told you all of core/blockstream roadmap features as of 2017. results as a potential 5.7mb block for just 7600tx capacity.
yet a logical "block limit increase" of 2mb offers average 5000tx, a logical "block limit increase" of 4mb offers average 10,000tx..
thats right the hard fork offers better byte per tx ratio than cores bait and switch
meaning that core/blockstream are actually the big blockers
before trying to use insults or deny it. please take time to research the numbers first. look into data needed per block to add confidential payment.
oh and dont even try to twist the data by talking about the light clients that dont validate, archive data.. keep any statistical rebuttle to full validating nodes
