You read the letter as a resounding denunciation of Classic and a firm endorsement of Core, interesting.
Upon reading point 3...
In the next 3 weeks, we need the Bitcoin Core developers to work with us and clarify the roadmap with respect to a future hard-fork which includes an increase of the block size.
This is obviously asking Core to do what they have refused to do for a year now, and it gives a deadline.
Let's see if miners will grab the bone they might be thrown. My guess is that it will be a pinky promise for a HF sometime in 2017.
Now, because Core is immune to politics, and will only base decisions on their
enabling of future profitability technical superiority... they simply cannot do this. To change Gregory's roadmap is to succumb to political pressure where a mouth breathing majority tramples the sacred rights of the enlightened minority, compromising
at all would mean they have been lying all along about that point. Bit of a pickle there. Cheers Friend.
Let the purge begin! Bitcoin is a settlement tool for central banking, excelsior!
Any tips on how I can run a payment channel hub to siphon fees from miners?
The sooner we purge these CIA/GCHQ banksters, the better! Zionists... ur next!
I don't know all about that purge non-sense ... we shouldn't stoop to their level and use violence, torture, kidnapping, and murder to effect change when we can write code and peacefully opt out of funding various crimes against humanity.
I think it would be a great for Core developers to set a date for a HF with certain conditions to be met so we have a goal. If not , It would be great if Classic could take some advice from the miners and Garzik who was denied changing the thresh-hold and perhaps deploy a new implementation based off of 0.12.0 that included a 1.5MB bump with segwit HF in, a 90% thresh-hold of the previous 12960 of blocks with a 3 month grace period. This proposal would be far more attractive.
P.S... The Ln will allow nodes to be incentivized and strengthens our ecosystem. This solves our dilemma of node drop off. Additionally, mining is so competitive that the cost of equipment and electricity is close to the total sum of reward+tx fees+extra fees from other services like selling virgin coins. This means that if all tx are handled directly through miners instead of on a caching layer the cost of equipment and electricity will increase likewise instead of it slowing down due nodes sharing tx fees with miners. This may solve the concern of the exponential increase of electricity consumed for PoW....
