re Luke-JR and changing over to SHA3: The man seems to go out of his way to find causes to champion, the more hopeless, the better. I first remember paying attention to him when he was acticely pushing tonal notation for Bitcoin. At least that was relatively harmless, if eccentric.
changing over to SHA3 has been proven to be unnecessary for now.

I read his first posts on bitcointalk recently after reading him trolling on Classic's slack channels. First time ever i heard about tonal notation.

What's with the Antpool blocks of 1 transaction at .2 kB???
It happens a lot with Antpool. My guess is they filter transactions with low fees. But i also heard about spv mining, not sure of what it is.
Look at the timing. They are right after the previous block. Many miners will SPV mine until the previous block is verified and it then possible to determine which new transactions are safe to include.
It is also possible in some cases with back-to-back blocks that the mempool is empty or nearly empty with no backlog.

I am tired of all that shit. I quit Bitcoin until the next ATH.

i'm a little annoyed that once again i'll have to make sure my cavirtex account is all good after this move.
but this is pretty good news, i have a kraken account and have done all kinds of trading there. very good trading platform. low fees, stop loss orders, etc.
I was holding off trading on there yet with this move I may test the platform. I do admit that I appreciate what they have to offer.

are Core out of their fucking minds?
I used to give Core the benefit of the doubt and presume it was just an ideological difference, but I've seen them lately in the act of somewhere in between misrepresenting how the sigops attack would affect larger blocks, to flat out lying about it (hint: the sigops attack is a non-issue because a hard fork is required to fix it and a block size increase is a hard fork).
Once we've gotten to the point of core devs either misrepresenting or lying about the facts on purpose, something is fishy.
January 19, 2016, 05:03:55 PM
You seem like a level headed guy, are Core out of their fucking minds?
I am fairly confident that at the very least, one of them is.
Ok, I counted 2: Gmaxwell and Luke-Jr.

So you're telling us Core is planning an increase to 2 MB blocks and Cconvert2G36 tells us Core devs have found 2 MB blocks bring a risk of an attack no-one knows how to defend against... One of you should check their sources!
Based on Cconvert2G36's previous posts, I think he was applying heaping doses of irony and his text should be taken with a large shovel of salt.

There probably won't be a hard fork to classic.
By April, core will have implemented 2MB+ blocks, by then the incentive to switch to classic will be low.
This whole development is worrisome though.
Core: RBF push, censoring on /r/bitcoin
Classic: no hardcore coders, what will really happen if they take over?....
For higher resilience, it would need several clients. One group of coders would be too easy to compromise.
