Why? I think the guy has a point... For instance, if- when- and after SegWit gets locked in (and thus would make BU incompatible with it), there is no guarantee that the whole thing, to some degree, is 'settled'... We have seen many ideas addressing the scaling issue, yet we have also seen neither sides playing it nice. SegWit, Segwit2x, BU, UASF or whatever other proposal which can be labeled as a (temporary) 'answer', is addressing scaling; yet what they all lack, is addressing the emotions that have came along with them... Logic, basic or not, isn't applicable in that case, as logic simply cannot reason with emotions, the same as emotions cannot reason with logic, as in a way they're complete opposites of each other...
Thank you for supporting my suggestions. I think the emotions are merely used to persuade - every actor in this drama has a fairly clear-cut economic interest. The person screaming the loudest usually just has the worst technical justifications for their solution...
You've misunderstood what I'm flabbergasted by. I never said the whole thing was settled; not even remotely. How many times have I reiterated that what remains a complete mystery is what happens after segwit gets activated when we're staring down the barrel of the 2MB base blocksize (an 8MB overall block weight hence why I add the word base in there). The guy I just put on ignore seems to think this coinbase intention to signal of 85%+ is no guarantee that segwit will get activated and that the BU coinbase signatures used by Jihan and his minions are relevant to that.
Speaking of emotions, I think mister ck is scared... He doesn't want to hear that Segwit might not get done and he's really triggered about "Jihan". A bit of apprehension is understandable: this flight might get bumpy over the next few months... Personally, I am hedging and compiling a bunch of this crap in case I do need to run it... Nonetheless I will believe Segwit2x when I see it. I have seen very little crypto media covering this fork that is supposed to happen in such a short period of time. It's not clear to me at all that this proposal is sound and the code is functional. Core's silence on the matter is downright creepy.
Honestly I am starting to suspect that Segwit2x is an attempt to leverage the FUD over UASF and UAHF to quickly soft fork to a bastardized Segwit, and then renege on the blocksize increase AGAIN... If and when Segwit does activate, I've read that Core has to release again to switch everyone to the Segwit coinbase anyway.
