The moment Vinny Lingham backs it, you know it is a scam
It seems there are some big blockers supporting smaller blocks in the hopes of destroying bitcoin.
Hahahahahaha
Touché.
Agreed that Vinny is not exactly a trustworthy or credible character in the bitcoin space based on some of his past behaviors. In other words, whatever Vinny says should be taken with a BIG ass grain of salt.
On the other hand, there are a lot of projects in bitcoin that are going on simultaneously, and many of these developers are working for free to research, test and propose. Some of their projects might get tested on testnet, and other projects they might propose, as LukeJr seems to be doing, to open up such testing on the mainnet. Maybe it would work? Maybe he will get agreement?
Remember how lightning network went live, largely because the moment was right, and there was an ongoing two month steady spamming attack on bitcoin. Coincidentally (or not) the then ongoing spamming attack stopped... Go figure.
Sometimes, a lot can be learned through investigating without necessarily following through with activation of a project in the long term. Surely, the studies of smaller blocks does not seem to be attacking bitcoin.
I had read some previous posts in this thread, and maybe some other threads suggesting that "we" focus on Schnorr signatures, fungibility, privacy and other more important bitcoin development matters, which reminds me of the quote from a famous little girl.
