Now you are creating a false dichotomy and insinuating a capacity difference between core and classic when they are both ~2MB. Are you also ignoring the deals being made between core and miners right now for April 2MB segwit + 2 Mb hardfork (for an effective 4MB capacity) in Feb/march 17?

Let me make it clear that it isn't a threat and that attack and others ones I discussed aren't likely .... but specifically for the reason the miners aren't idiots and want to have the support of core and their valuable contributions.  

Statements of support to leverage power and hedge bets doesn't mean any of the miners will follow through either. Since Classic really isn't offering any distinct technical differences besides being less , it is clearly a political coup.... and with politics many businesses will court both sides which we see here.

Lets wait and see them start to mine those blocks in march.

Hide your women
Crash, bounce, pause, spike....

It's a four punch raid. wait for the shorters to get squeezed and then short like crazy.

Be careful about the second bounce.

Bitcoin replaces central, not commercial, banks
Why are we still discussing Classic like it's not a failed project already?

Didn't you get the news?

Remember guys:
Let's see how the recovery unfolds, if any. It might bring back the memories of the arrest of Ross Ulbritch to the market if a steady rise ensues.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
I am tired of all that shit. I quit Bitcoin until the next ATH.

Good for you, and bad for us.... hahahahaha  Cheesy

We gotta put up with more fake quitting drama........ and fewer coins for us.   Tongue Tongue

Haha, shame the price won't go up 10% after this nobody quits bitcoin Grin
Dude, you should show more respect to people more wealthy and clever than you.


We shouldn't be doing status (respect?) trips on the interwebs.... Instead, post some substance regarding BTC, and then we will consider your thoughts.

If you are going to quit BTC, then no problem with that kind of choice, especially since you are choosing for yourself and your own risk tolerances and diversification, if any; however, what would be the reason for you to publicly announce such supposed quitting, unless you are some kind of attention whore or you really don't  mean what you say.... and accordingly, you are just playing the quitting threat card for its trolling effect.

Warning: Confrmed Gavinista

You suggest that the chain with 25% hash power is in the economic minority which is just flatly inaccurate. The sunk costs in previous generations of ASICs aren't worth much more than a doorstop with a flood of new money buying the latest generation of ASICs. 75% of Miners are not necessarily the economic majority. What is interesting about this attack is even if 95%+miners temporarily support the new coin (I.E.. Bitcoin classic) and every exchange supports bitcoin classic and refuses to accept bitcoin core coins, the attack can come unannounced as the ASIC manufactures can have a shell company or investors buy them out and use their own coin to simultaneously dump the price and gain a majority of the hashpower. To those that oppose a coup, they wouldn't even see this as underhanded but protecting the interests of the ecosystem and increasing the hash power.


Sorry, I respect your beliefs and all, but that is just getting plain ridiculous, desperate and implausible.
 Have a look at this and you will see there is nearly 90% consensus for 2mb blocks at this moment. Add to that all the exchanges that have stated they will follow the majority ( not a given that its classic)

You have an extremely difficult battle with just 10% of hashing power and sky high difficulty. And for what? What will you gain with your shell companies and other whatnots you mentioned?

When it comes to it, you, and all the others will be as pragmatic as anyone else in the network. You will protect the value of your coins. You will fork.

Because its in your interest*.

Speaking of volatility... I am not sure what to make of this recent price action.
BTCC just like XT altcoin fork is dead and market is pricing that in.

You are so funny.

Apparently, it's YOU who didn't get the news.

I think he's referring to f2pools tentative agreement with core about a 2mb block size in 2017.

So we know f2pool and probably Kano supports core. Kano is insignificant and f2pool might shrink quite a bit in a couple of months.

2017, so we would have to bite our nails for a full year at least, enduring higher fees, lesser reliability, and a degraded user experience. Awesome.

Nope, Bitfury and Antpool are going to push f2pool below 20% and f2pool will start running Bitcoin Classic. Kano is going to go into full troll mode for a while, who knows where he'll land.

To be honest, there might have been a pump by someone earlier this morning, and now all the traders are realsing that Bitcoin is trending upwards, and buying to recoup some of their losses from the recent downturn, and thus the price continues to slowly work higher. I just saw the average break $420, so I would say more people investing is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Chinese pump. 3000 yuans in a few hours. Enjoy the show.

Do you think so?

I'm not too sure, what are you basing that prediction on? Hope you're right.
