why we should switch to classic when core offer the same exact thing plus other bunch of useful stuff that will increase the capacity  anyway

2mb is coming for core too, within one year, but it is coming, so classic is obsolete

I don't think we can hire anyone to save bitcoin now that Hearn has left. Time to sell and buy ethereum like a good lemming  Tongue

instead of debating the blocksize limit, maybe we should start requiring the mining pools to mine blocks that include transactions.

Instead of opining like you know what you're talking about... maybe you should research why those coinbase only/0 tx blocks are all under a minute in duration. And why that is an argument for miners setting their own soft limits on the sizes of their blocks... like they did for the last 6 years. These blocks are basically miners deciding to not shut down their farm for the first minute after a block is solved... once the previous block is verified, they will start including transactions.

If bitcoin is more centralized, they could have a separate channel to include tx only they know about.

 sounds like a shit excuse to run crap code on a pool.

Shoulda hired you, I guess.

I will upgrade my node to classic once Gavin and Brian Armstrong reveal that Core developers are working with ISIS.

Actually, they are working with KAOS but Agent 99 is on it.

Won't work, they would just add transactions that pay themselves.

Classic reminds me of the Black Lives Matter movement. Next we will see r/btc  filled with rants of how core is racist and blockstream was responsible for 9/11

Nah! core is paedophilic - fiddling with poor innocent underage nodes. Smiley

I've got a Bitcoin unlimited node in my peer list, is that gaining acceptance?

Classic is gaining some momentum and hopeful will turn into something significant.

When I look at what my client connects to, there often is one classic node but rarely two and often none. Usually there is one. Same for core 0.12.0 (what I run)

Lot of nodes running 0.11.x core.

I think a lot of nodes haven't decided if they want to go core 0.12.x or classic yet.

I don't think it is fair to say either is gaining momentum.

I think adoption comes in waves. The first wave is in and we are waiting for the next wave (bigger) to happen.

If blocksize debate is going no-where, the halving will not in anywhere increase the value of bitcoins.

People running nodes often don't update as soon as an update is released. That doesn't mean they don't support Core or won't eventually upgrade.

Blockstream will monetize the Lightning Network in the form of fees required to use their service.

i'd like to give these guys the benefit of the doubt and say "you obviously didn't read the whitepaper" but i suspect that spreading disinformation is the real point.

LN is completely open; anyone can be a hub. fees for payment routing are therefore competitive in a free market. how would Blockstream be able to monopolize that?

btw the people that conceptualized LN were not Blockstream and there is something like a half dozen open source implementations of it....

Altcoin discussion board in 3...2...1...

fair enough. that's why i run a core node. so if anyone sends me any invalid crap like a classic coin, it gets rejected.

To me this is partial truth. I am running Classic Node, hoping to help but I am open to any other better "solution" if available.


Yes. Here's a better solution. Stop running a classic node and step away from the bitcoin space.

No it isn't. Classic has been decimated. And it was never going to be anything significant.

You know, back in my day we'd post satirical appreciation threads with funny pictures and cleverly worded insinuations. It was meant to be thought provoking. You macaques have ruined that for me now. Angry

the desperation of the Klassik Krew has become truly pathetic to witness

they used to be funny, with toomim on drugs and gavin whittling his Bitcoin stick ever smaller with every dismal failure to frighten, cajole and persuade people to adopt his insidious fork - but that was yesterday...

oh dear, gavin, your trousers are down - somebody tell him, he doesn't seem to be able to hear any of us when we say it...
