Heh, you cant hold the argument, so its dDos...

A successful ddos of Classic demonstrates the validity of arguments of the form "Core is antifragile and deserves to live; Classic is brittle and deserves to die."

Cant beat the free market competition.

The guy tried his best to help fix a problem and was treated as shit for it.

Maybe he should have tried harder to write some actual code.


It doesn't seem like our current conundrum is due to a lack of code.


Oh no, I was rather questioning the image of the industrious guy who tries his best. Seems like he's a slacker to me! Cheesy

... let the DDOSing begin now that techignorati who use binaries because they can't build from source are wandering stupidly into the badlands. tally-ho

And that pretty much sums up your scumbag attitude. I bet you have giftcards for sale too, paid for by stolen credit cards. You are a real asset to the core-devs, a like minded fellow traveler.

Don't blame the messenger.

It's just reality that Bitcoin cannot be DDOSed but Classic can and will be.  The antifragile project deserves to live, the wimpy fork does not.

Better post here while you still can.  I expect your ISP will be nuked from space shortly after you turn on your obnoxious Classic troll node.   Grin

When you phone in to cry to customer service, be sure to tell them you were running a server on your residential connection, and that server effectively painted a giant target on their back(bone).

Scumbag tactics, so you are no better than a scumbag, right? Should we expect anything better from you?

Its just an example of the low-lifes that core devs now associate themselves with.  

How is your plan for removing the need to hold bitcoin to use the Immutable ledger going?

Heh, you cant hold the argument, so its dDos...

no one can control bitcoin, no one can control forkers, no one can control ddosers. Grin

Segwit gives the same capacity increase as your hard-fork,

Segwit is accounting fraud. It actually has higher bandwidth demand than a simple blocksize bump of equal effect.

Your post is linguistic and conceptual fraud.  There is nothing "simple" about a contentious hard fork.

Segwit is an elegant solution to numerous extant problems, and the opposite of Classic's hacky, kludgey, hamfisted, simpleton approach.

look at them Classic nodes springing up! Like mushrooms after an autumn rain Smiley

Actually, those classic nodes are more like fungus spreading on the corpses of XT/unlimited nodes.  Grin

All that brazen supercilious venom spewed over the last year with potentially nothing to show for haha.

Yes, that's exactly what makes the noisy but supremely ineffectual XT Lolcows such fun to milk.   Wink

Remember last summer, when the brazenly contentious XT fork was supposed to happen in January 2016?  Pepperidge Farm remembers!   Cheesy

It [segwit] also allows elegant scaling solutions to be developed down the road.

Can you explain how? (serious question)

Christ....I remember when this thread was about walls, trading, speculation and general 'doom' or 'moon'...now its just page after page of people talking incomprehensible blockchain bollox and petty politics.

There has always been some sort of crisis threatening the very existence of BTC, get used to it.

So, all the bed-wetters getting worked up about this: you do realise there are entire sections of this site devoted to these topics.  Perhaps you could all fuck off to those pages and stop boring everyone me to tears with your endless segwit, hardfork fuckwittery.

I hoped to find out a reason for the $6 price increase in this thread, and I hoped people would be discussing it. Instead I found a wall of posts about segwit combined with acronyms like hf and sf. Once upon a time people would have discussed whether the bottom of this dump was in, but now it's all block size debates.

I like the convenience of finding all my Btc news in one thread.  If i want to expand my understanding of any of it I can do so.

As to why Btc went up 1.5%?  Noise, somebody bought a few Btc and it wasn't me.  I am merely hodling until last year's tax burden is settled.



It's less than a quarter of an hour to go until Chinese New Year and I thought that might be influencing the price, but it seems it probably didn't now it's going back down to where it started. Most of the Chinese are probably partying too hard to consider trading Bitcoins or look at the charts.

"To be held from 26th to 28th February, the event follows the inaugural edition of Satoshi Roundtable, which garnered criticism at the time of announcement for an alleged lack of transparency and air of secrecy. Though it eventually opened its doors to limited media presence, this year's event, by contrast, will be closed to the public."[/b] Grin Cool Tongue

"The attendee list also includes bitcoin startup CEOs such as BTCC's Bobby Lee and Align Commerce's Marwan Forzley, as well as representatives from Bain Capital Ventures and Fidelity Labs."

Bain Capital Vultures brought to you by the likes of Mitt Romney and friends.

I repeat, closed to public.  Open source and decentralized, whoopee!!

We are nowhere close to "everything will suck soon" tm. You guys have been saying that for a year now btw.

Actually several years. We've been repeatedly pointing at the same stupid, unnecessary hard ceiling, and pointing out that the inexorable trend of increasing transactions has us on a clear intersect.

In the meantime, we have recently gone from things never sucking in regards to capacity, to things sucking for brief flashes of time. The issue is not how much one needs to pay to get a transaction through, the issue is that with the current block size, no more than about 350,000 transactions can be processed in a day. Period. No matter how much money is thrown at the transactions.

Here's what those two non-parallel lines would look like if the bump to 2MB occurs May 1:



Thanks! This is still the best graph.

Yes, this is still the best meaningless graph, Andre#.

You are so "spot on" lately. Grin

I am, indeed.  Cheesy

Wahou wahou wahou!

Thanks for the graph indeed, it's a good way to see things.

But what I get from this graph is that 2mb blocks would be a very temporary solution no? Is it only me?
Cause it seems like even if we go to 2mb it'll last for a few months maybe a year or two before we need another action taken.

Indeed. But at least it buys some time for Segregated Witness to get into effect (x1.7), and later on perhaps the Lightening Network. If these don't materialize, it would have to be increased further in two years time.

Have to say I don't understand any shit about what's discussed here most of the time.

And I don't see really the link with the thread "wall observer".
But I keep coming here for chart buddy Grin

 Throwing statements about with no explanation does not help your case.

So why dont you explain to me what makes it a Kludge?


Also, I tried not insult you so please try and not to insult me.

I never said segwit itself was a kludge. (its inelegant at best)

If you read back to my original post, I asked you about how making segwit SF-able was a kludge.  Maybe answer that question.

segwit should be a HF. Making it a SF is political and destroys most of their credibility.

Again why is segwit as soft-fork a kludge? because Gavin the FUDster said so? Its a much better to have soft-forks then hard forks and allows capacity to be increased immediately. With hard forks the entire network has to move before anybody gets benefit.

Is not the big motivation to increase capacity?

Quote
How do you feel about the segwit kludge of pushing its commitment into the coinbase tx? You ok with that design approach?  What was the motivation for it? Expediency, efficiency or just so that they would not have to sell segwit as an evil HF?
