v0.12 bitcoin is being released ... watch and learn what real network uptake looks like.

0.12 is awesome , I have been beta testing for a couple weeks now and have noticed up to +5x syncing with libsecp256k1, the new tools to reduce upload traffic to keep limited nodes from using too much bandwidth are great, mempool limit adjusting is good to keep raspberry pi nodes from crashing, automated use of TOR, conf conflict detection , and more .

I haven't played around with pruned Full node features yet , and that is the next thing to test. 2GB ~full nodes is an amazing option for many people with limited disk space.

Last one I tested ...

....................................................................

Anyhew... how many of you will dump Bitcoin when the next speculative bubble bursts and we have to rely on adoption to make this turd float?

Bitcoin is ours! Cool

Indeed.

Bitcoin is defined by the code we choose to run.

As a btc user, I never had the opportunity to chose which code I was going to use.

Did you threw dice to construct the URL of your wallet software?

Using "plug and play" spv or core wallets and trading on centralized exchanges does not make you a "bitcoin user" technically speaking.

So for you someone using electrum and saving his private keys is not a btc user?
What is a btc user then?

Sounds like a loophole to me.

Wondering if this will affect the price in a trend. The price somewhat came to a halt within last couple of hours though.

ok so i listen to the first few min of this, it pissed me off, then i turned it off and tried to go to bed... i can't sleep...

i want to slap this TODD guy in the face

i want him to apologize to everyone for lying, and FUDing in order to push his lighting network horse shit

and then i want him to resign from bitcoin

i never liked what he had to say but this is too much.

listening to the full thing now...

Appreciate your passion , but you appear to be in an irrational emotional state. What do you have against payment channels, specifically?

Quote from: adamstgBit on February 18, 2016, 03:42:09 AM

i have a problem with when he implies that a small or medium size miner would get affected by 2mb block and move to pools
as if small or medium size minners solo mine.
i mean come on todd show me 1 small or medium size miner that doesn't already mine at a pool.
he then talks about how we shouldn't touch 1MB and use lighting, that really ticked me off.

Many people , including Todd, believe that bitcoin is already too centralized. They want a conservative capacity increase to 1.7 to 2MB to buy more time for other improvements can be made so this trend reverses itself and a small or medium size miner could solo or p2p mine again. He is discussing the general centralization incentives.

Yes yes, you'll get your 2MB chain, but..... not tonight, dear

says who?
can some PLEASE FUCKING MAKE AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT

The Official statement is pretty clear. Core developers have already made a compromise before making other improvements , and are rolling out an effective 1.7-2MB capacity change with segwit in April.

Hey Peter! Still alive?

How's that BU going? How many nodes now? 10? 15?

Yes yes, you'll get your 2MB chain, but..... not tonight, dear

says who?

can some PLEASE FUCKING MAKE AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT

That's going to be hard since *wonderfully* nobody control bitcoin or can speak on its behalf...

So how about the statist - official statementers - control freaks give up already.

... it's decentralised, there are no fucking officials.

And all praise to Satoshi for that ... watch out for charismatic leaders that try to speak from authority (or produce pretty but misleading 'official-looking' gifs).
