In considering any major change, I have always found it very helpful to list the pros and cons. Does anyone have a link to what side chains are? What has been explained here briefly, seems to be a typical bell or whistle that really does nothing to add value. However, I want to learn more.
One thing to remember, these types of discussions are highly stressful. Let's all remember the greater community and remain respectful at all times.
In my opinion, one of UNO's greatest strengths is that it is not like everything else. I believe people are beginning to see that and interest is growing organically.
I also agree with a previous post, in which someone suggested Mr Weiner come into the forum and explain what the benefits and detriments of the side chain are, in his opinion.
Yes, I want to have a much better estimate of rockchain bloat from the changes asserted by Bryce.
One thing I can see, though, is the advantage of becoming THE positive example of sidechains. Seriously, 0.10 BTC's in March, then up. Without the change, hit 0.05 for a millisecond in October, then bear market for 5 months. (Ok, possible, but this is bad FUD to support a vain bit of devil's advocate in an argument I don't understand. Honestly, I'd say most people on here do not understand what is under discussion. We really do need Bryce to go into intimate detail as to what sidechains are and what changes and advantages and disadvantages they present, and then we can actually de-facto complete our discussion and finalize our approach as a community.)
