lolwut?
Was that just a declarative?
Yeah, Hearn ragequit out of frustration with stasis on this issue, first by trying the XT gambit, then bailing when that didn't work. Everybody wants to just shit on him now, but I've appreciated his input, in code and ideas. You don't have to agree with him to show a little respect for the time and effort he put into the project.

Has it been confirmed that the next 24 hours are critical?? 
It has been confirmed, with all the hype in the news and the recent European sanctions going on it is that 24~hour go-time.More and more it is looking bleak for bitcoin to make a positive stride in the right direction in people's eyes these days.
Does that mean that either bitcoin is dead (in the long run) or that prices will be going down (in the short run)?

Thanks.
Yeah, I was aware of bitcoinj - and that is certainly a contribution - but I was thinking more along the lines of contributions to the actual Bitcoin protocol. Although Mike has been at the center of a lot of controversy in the Bitcoin world over the last couple of years, it seems that he has actually only worked on his own projects, as far as I can see. It's hard to tell if he influenced the work of others or not, though.

You'll notice I placed a fairly low bar.
And Hearn easily cleared it.Years is a long time to continue the same argument.

I don't completely agree with the tactical decisions Hearn made over the last year, and I'd be fine with slower increases than BIP101, but I'm 100% certain he did more for Bitcoin on his worst day than Nov 2013 hdbuck ever will.
If we're still (inexplicably?) stuck at 1MB popescu pogs through the majority of 2016, I'll be lacing up my shoes too.

Hear, hear!
Could someone point out a few of Mr. Hearn's more notable contributions to Bitcoin? I am having trouble finding them. (serious question)
The only commit he made that I know of that ever even made it into the reference client caused the fork back in 2013.
Good riddance.

Welp. I'm reading it now. He's right. Colouring coins is bad idea.
He's a thinker, that's for sure.
Adding exogenous value onto a network that cannot detect and dynamically protect the exogenous value. I never thought of it in those terms before tho.
Quote
The metacoins and colored coin projects listed above unquestionably increase the social value
of the chain, yet they do not proportionally incentivize security beyond the existing block
reward (seigniorage) subsidy. This could lead to an economic incentive to attack the chain, a
type of fat tail risk that could dramatically impact any layer residing on top of the Bitcoin
network.69

I'm not mature enough to face my cluelessness like an adult, so that I could accept the generous tutelage of my betters and start to overcome my crippling stupidity, perhaps to even begin repairing some of the devastating damage that I've caused.
I bought at the top of the bubble, at EXACTLY the top, $1,200. Imagine? Accepting such momentous idiocy is more than my [already feeble] mind could bear, so I snapped.
Now I insult the only person on this forum who tries to educate me, instead of simply exploiting my inane retardedness and stealing my money.

..... [snip of various jibber jabber].....
Yes, each of your posts pretty much buttress my earlier point that you are not in any way attempting to have any kind of meaningful or genuine dialogue about any topic materially relevant to bitcoin ... and in fact you seem to be attempting to purposefully divert from any discussion that is even remotely related to bitcoin, except for your likely paid for talking points, which is another way of saying that you are a troll.
Regarding your purported motives to "help" people in this thread, seems like further evidence that you are attempting to intermingle into a bitcoin investing topic, in which you are not vested.... which describes you as either a pest or a nosey busybody.
Too bad that so far, administrators here have chosen not to delete your account, because you surely are not contributing to any adult topic worthy of discussion, but instead you are doing the exact opposite.
