Stop buying Ethers & watching pornos. Concentrate on keeping BTC > $400.

i think if there ever is a fork 1 of the chains will be valueless within minutes, hours or at most days.
the simple fact that there are 2 chains of value, and all of what that implies, bring the value of both down dramatically, so user won't have that everyone will value only 1 chain, the most popular chain, very fast, and speculators will ack fast and short the shit out of the losing chain....

like image the profit for a highly leveraged short, as the value of "ClassicBTC" goes from 400 to like 2.50 and eventually to 0 LOL

image ALL the profits

porblem is there wont be anywhere to short it and no one will want to buy that shit either Cheesy

might make a few bucks selling your duped coins onto confused newbies on ebay or somthing tho

are classic devs even qualified to touch bitcoin, besides change the #define 1MB?

its gr8 there's a competing impl., hope it doesn't fade into obscurity.

but core will be the reference impl. for some time.

You mean Jeff and Gavin? Probably yes?

ok fine, not a huge team but very knowledgeable, hope they stick around! forking off would be seen as very uncool...

This thread is like what I always imagined the Dev forums were like but with more technical details.

I wouldn't know though because I don't hang out in the dev forums.

For those armchair devs you can find those forums here:

XMR is Monero

Yeah I know XBT. I was posting in the Monero section at the same time (my only other crypto holding).

Subtle.

Shame on you Adam Sad

Heh, albeit he made some progress not spitting on Core devs anymore and puffing on that hardfork pipe dream.

Still it is baffling that for someone who spent so much time on this forum not to acknowledge the vital security matters underlying the technology he is lucky to be part of and the dramatic consequences such contentious fork event would do to his bitcoin stack.

"vital security matters underlying the technology"

oh you.

i use to say bitcoin will evolve through hard forks, and that's true, they just won't ever ( or very unlikely to be ) a "contentious fork event "

as for the hardfork pipe dream:
i think if there ever is a fork 1 of the chains will be valueless within minutes, hours or at most days.
the simple fact that there are 2 chains of value, and all of what that implies, bring the value of both down dramatically, so user won't have that everyone will value only 1 chain, the most popular chain, very fast, and speculators will ack fast and short the shit out of the losing chain....

Are Core devs qualified to touch Bitcoin? Is it lack of qualifications that's responsible for their stalling?
"It's all very scientific and complicated, we must conduct Rethier-Binks perambularization model analysis for at least 3 years before it's safe"?

But as far as having cred outside of Bitcoin? Classic devs certainly have more.

Say whatever you want I don't like the idea of limited tx every day :/

Fire up a classic node. Let your voice be heard.

https://bitcoinclassic.com/

Well I'm not so sure forcing the community to go to classic is the best solution though ^^

You can't do that. That's for the devs and the miners. Nodes show support, but they don't decide.

you guys heard of the BIP to let miners vote using flags on the 32 bit version number with each block they mine? they should do the same thing with the nodes, i bet a lot of poeple running classic are only running it to let there "I WANT 2MB BLOCKS NOW!!!" voice be heard.

Give me Core with BIP101 and Segwit HF and I'm game.

^^Non-mining nodes are *wallets*.
Suggesting that they mean anything above that is adding a layer of superstition on top of scripture -- like Catholics breaking canon by praying to Mary.
