Reddit seems to have caught that post in a spam filter, it shows up when I'm logged in. I lost the password to my other reddit account.

60K is personal holdings, possibly up to an additional 70K in client funds depending on their sentiment, which pretty strongly leans Core.

Escrow wise, I would hope someone could come up with an atomic swap method.

Have Ver fly out to meet you in person and live stream it with an a respected
semi-independent Bitcoiner there as a real time witness and the escrow agent.
You and Ver split the cost of flying out this respected Bitcoiner.

Make it a good old fashion Pay-Per-View event. Major Bitcoin history right there.
Like boxers getting weighed-in before the fight. Glorious.
That's a damn hilariously smart idea.
In case this is actually not a complete hoax and BTU eventually does pull it through this could set a big precedent for both of the coins. Still routing for BTC though lol.

I would sit in as a witness - have good standing in the community and across all social media.

having bugs is actually a good thing.

2. if something is never buggy its either a lie or the devs prefer to not care/deal with it by denying bugs

in short.
core are just another of MANY implementations. not the utopian dream that should dictate bitcoin no implementation should become the dictator.
so stop crying that core is being attacked.

act like you actually care about a diverse decentralised PEER network. and stop acting like you want centralised FIAT2.0 with core as the IMF


Just LMAO!

First if you have unstable software and miners please split of! , that's what I said in my other post!
Your bitcoin unlimited network will crash in no time leaving bitcoin core + segwit alone!
Evrybody is dumping UNLIMITED for the reason iam stating here.

Its more like one person desperate placing miners to break the downfall!

Not quite look at the last statistics people are getting it miners are leaving BU pools..



Not quite you say? Look at that chart. Bitcoin Unlimited clearly is going up and Bitcoin Core is clearly going the opposite direction. There will be small daily changes but the trends are clearly already established by just looking at that chart. Dont underestimate it, thats where you lose sight of what to do in case the hard fork really happens.

Second, the articles of federation clearly enshrine a vote by the members as the binding decision making process. The president of BU clearly does not have sole power over even the BU project.

You'll have to lie better if you want to tarnish this.

The president hand picked those members after self-appointing:

Quote from: BU president
There is no democratic way to kick something like this off so I am just going to be autocratic about it. I’m defining myself judge, jury and executioner (with the valuable input of those who have been interacting with me of course!) with the power to appoint the initial members.

There was the bug that would cause nodes to think that an unlimited number of bitcoin was created as part of a transaction in Bitcoin's very early days, luckily the person who figured out how to do this went crazy and made it appear as if billions of bitcoin were created, making it very obvious there was a problem.

Ah yeah I thought thats what you were referring to.

Just to note that the bug could only create 92233720368.54277039 BTC per block, no more or less, as thats the max value for a UINT_64 integer.

It's also difficult to know whether it was purposely exploited, as the bug could trigger under normal circumstances.

Well I would argue that around this time period, the Bitcoin client contained a popup warning saying that Bitcoin is not ready to be used for financial transactions. It was essentially a "testnet" during the early period. Satoshi actually refused to remove this warning for a long time, he wanted Bitcoin to grow slow in the early days so that it would be "battle hardened" and capable of handling high capacity. Perhaps a scalability solution would've been put in place way before it was needed if people had listened. We're at least a year behind on a solution. This is all WikiLeaks' fault for promoting Bitcoin too soon  Grin
Yes, in "modern" Bitcoin, there have been no zero-day attacks, at least none that have been made public.

I would point out that Bitcoin Core has been the "client of record" of Bitcoin for quite a while now, so there are unique incentives for a larger number of eyes to look at the code before it is put into production verses something like insight.

I would also point out that since bitcoin is very valuable, there are few incentives to crash a large number of nodes, but are more incentives to engage in things that result in being able to steal bitcoin.

I would also note that the exploits in the BU code were really not zero-day exploits, but were rather exploits that the devs pointed out to others once they patched the relevant issues -- it was just that the patch was not distributed to node operators prior to the bug being exploited.

If it was closed source, then the source code would not be freely available to all. But it is. Accordingly, the claim that BU is closed source is quite simply a lie.

Quote
The client crashed 2 weeks ago! if core was not running whole bitcoin would have crashed!

Hyperbole much? There was no point where all BU clients crashed. Accordingly, whether or not BU was the entirety of the network, 'whole bitcoin' would not have crashed.

I didn't lie, and I backed up and sourced my claim.  The BU articles of federation gives the president sole power over the entire network/project.

Have you read them?

Of course I have read them. And by your silly post, I see that you have read them too, but are incapable of understanding clear language.

First off, there is no equivalency between the BU project and the Bitcoin network. Much like the fact that there is no equivalency of the Blockstream project and the Bitcoin network.

Second, the articles of federation clearly enshrine a vote by the members as the binding decision making process. The president of BU clearly does not have sole power over even the BU project.

Ummm, why does that picture say there have been 0 zero-day exploits and 0 chain forks. Both of these statements are an outright lie.

Were there serious 0 day exploits? 0 day exploits refer to tools that exploit vulnerabilities that are not known by the developer. Exploits that were written after the devs found the vulnerability and patched it are called 1 day exploits. The difference is important as users are mostly powerless to defend against 0 day exploits, however 1 day exploits can be defended by quickly patching. 0 days are actually quite rare and are usually very valuable, even though the term is often used as some sort of fear mongering. I don't recall there being any serious 0 day exploits in Bitcoin Core, maybe in the early days.

BU puts the entire network in the hands of the president and makes him leader for life...

Fucking. Bull. Shit.

Sure there, is a President of the Bitcoin Unlimited Federation. Much like there is a CEO of Blockstream. Or, more closely, a BIP-Master (whatever the title is) of core. No power over Bitcoin at large is expressed nor implied. Neither is the term for life.

WTF - now you are stooping to lying!?

Article 2: Confederation

All Bitcoin Unlimited (henceforth BU) activities shall be recorded and be publicly accessible.

BU roles shall consist of:
President: a publicly identified (real-life identity is known) BU Member who is responsible for the ongoing activities of the confederation. The president shall resolve BUIP number conflicts, organize BUIP discussion (in the forum designated by the secretary), and schedule/initiate voting (within the limits specified in these articles).

The president's powers consist of administering BUIPs. ooooh - scary!
The president picked all the initial members and its not a lie, look at the setup of how the articles of federation work.  It absolutely gives the president sole power over the entire bitcoin network. https://medium.com/@rextar4444/the-dictatorship-of-the-bitcoin-proletariat-a51e7cd87605

The president did not pick all the initial members. Just one more in a string of lies. The organization was collaboratively planned in an open fashion that was available to anyone who wanted to participate. Further, your article is tripe that misrepresents the reality of the situation. Fortunately, you at least provide the text interspersed with your blathering, so your misrepresentations are exposed for all to see.

The code is closed source
