I had the privilege of launching a Tesla P100D from a standing start yesterday. In Ludicrous Plus mode.  In the rain.

It got a bit wiggly.  It was also spaceship fast. 

He said, we could fly around the world in about an hour, for the price of an airticket from now !

Mindbuggling. Imagine the acceleration !

Thanks.   If having a coffee in the morning doesn’t wake you up, a chain split warning will. 

Must have been a bug as gone and BTC1 nodes still stuck on 494782.

Yes, due to the screwed up nature of BCH's previous EDA retarget algorithm, they are ahead almost 9800 blocks.

 Ah, you'll eventually get it but when you do, it will be much more efficient and faster to take a rocket where you want to go.

There is a chain split but it has been reorged.

Not sure what is meant by the reorg.

Edit:  now the split warning is gone but says Core is behind other nodes.  Is that just a reference to Bcash?  Curious.

~lets NEVER ever raise the blocklimit!!...> ...above 32mb(original bitcoin)   haa

Now, i just laugh at their arguments. Bitcoin is at an ATH, had an increase of ~8x since January.

The market has spoken; they are obviously do not believe in free market principles. Reality defies them daily, yet they are in a constant malignant fear cycle of "doom is coming".

Look at them.

Bigblock BCH is alive, they could just have traded their BTC to BCH, and use that network out of principle they so eager to say is the right one. But, they do not. They still want to change BTC, even though they now have their alternative, "fitting" their declared goals.

That shows me with a 100% certainty, that they are not acting on principle, and just out for control over other's to act freely, power over structure, like every socialist minded person is ("i know i am weak and will lose in a free competition scenario, so, in order to survive i must debase the successful ones, and change the play rules).

mt gox ico inkomingggg :-D weeeee

Dispel how? With what evidence to explain your assertion? Show me the evidence. What amazing things have these developers 'outside of the Bitcoin Core camp' accomplished exactly.

Funny you should mention that Jimbo.
My favorite place to strum acoustic guitar was in the stairwell of my college dorm. Sounded so excellent!

How times have changed. Back in the 1950s they'd use a stairwell. Sounded better than any tape loop, reverb spring, or digital delay.

Come to think of it now, you are absolutely correct. Having recorded in a studio I should know better. I stand corrected,thanx .

in the BGA matrix?

do i amuse you     ~and what's all this about putting bitcoin atms in the casinos...?! :-D

LMFAO. 

Lightning Network :\ meh

Good to see all the major Cryptos are in the green except for BCH. 

So, whats left, other than to make it "chargeback-able", its the solution or the problem ?
Sorry, can´t get my head around it.
Damn, i know the answer. It´s hard, but true.

Maybe you've not reasoned forward from the base observation. Follow me here. If we improve the ability of the HW to process transactions by a factor of 5 by fixing broken SW, we can increase the maxblocksize (well, actually increase the sustained transaction throughput) by 5x without making additional demands on the HW. If we make no additional demand on the HW, then HW costs are a non-factor as far as number of fully-validating non-mining 'nodes' are concerned. Accordingly, HW cost is no longer a valid reason to limit maxblocksize below 5x as far as centralization is concerned.

Further, even if we do not increase maxblocksize, we can drastically reduce centralization pressure due to HW cost, by simply making this SW improvement.


No - that was S2X, not Bitcoin Core. Why are you conflating disparate teams?


While it is true that Bitcoin Core gave us the now-replaced EDA, the EDA did exactly what it was supposed to. It got Bitcoin Cash through a period of potential infant chain death mortality.

Now it is no longer needed, the EDA has been replaced -- by the same Bitcoin Cash devs -- by the new DAA. And Bitcoin Cash is now kicking out blocks at a stable near-10m rate. Just as it 'should'.


No. I have not pointed core devs as incompetent. (Perhaps myopic on an approach to solve what is seen by many as Bitcoin's most pressing issue.) Rather, I am trying to dispel the widely-touted, but rarely-explained assertion that 'the only capable devs in the crypto space exist in the Bitcoin Core camp'.
