I wonder where all the >100k margin long coins want to dump into at some point... There is still not a lot on the Bitfinex book which would prevent the next margin call round if somebody decides to dump..
Some people are really trapped as it seems

Yeah, wanna know something that makes it all worse than just whats shown on USD margin swaps?
The fact that most people hold BTC as collateral, BFX have said this themselves. So, not only are people accruing all this interest owed to lenders, when they are liquidated or close, their BTC collateral also has to be sold adding even more fuel to the bear fire.

I wonder if too many people thinking the flash crash wasn't the bottom is actually what makes it the bottom. I doubt it. There's not enough BTC swaps on bfx, but hey who the hell knows?
If it is the bottom, it's because emerging market currencies are tanking and smart brown people will be buying as a hedge on inflation. That would be a good thing if we want this to be truly global.
Anyway, I'm trying to buy gasoline with purse.io and leaving this block size mess to better programmers (which is to say...programmers)

Professor Stolfi must be capable of doing the job if nobody else is prepared to do it, or capable of doing it.
Great joke!That would be funny indeed. I do have a Github account...
Please someone do it, and remove the temptation.
We need a suggestion list for what we put as the User Agent name.

I look for BTC to get a bump out of the downed stock market. Lets hope so!

Beyond the obvious decision making problems it will face I fear Stolfi-coin might have some transaction confirmation issues.

It's definitely not a tx-spam fix.

Did Blackspidey by any chance sell a ton of farmed accounts to lambie?
I get the same impression here. My finger is getting tired of clicking "ignore" now

Bitcoin XT is the only viable implementation of BIP 101
It is not. Any miner can make a copy of XT and remove the patches that he objects to. Or make a copy of Core and add only those XT patches that implement vote-triggered 8MB limit.
If you are not a miner, you (or any programmer you trust) can make a copy of Core, simply raise the size limit to 8 MB, and start running that version any time before the fork actually happens.
I'm not sure the masses of adopters are gonna do this / or even know-care about the possibility. Vanilla XT is the intended norm.
I'm part of the Any miner people, I'll just use XT I can write a script but compiling code that's complicated stuff, I'll leave that to the developers.
There must be developers who are nothing to do with core/XT in this community who are capable of making those modifications and compiling a wallet. If some third party developers offered a third choice then more people might adopt that than the alternatives offered by core/XT. Professor Stolfi must be capable of doing the job if nobody else is prepared to do it, or capable of doing it.
There's actually nothing wrong with that. The nature of open source means that you can fork the code and change it as you wish. As long as you can get a majority to follow you that is.
Anyway, I dont think we are lacking choice here, with 2 versions of core and an unknown number of XT;s knocking about. Its consensus thats needed, and as the blockstream side have gone to great lengths to illustrate - that is not going to happen.
Yes but there is no choice that I know of that only involves 8MB blocks and misses out the blockstream stuff, and the gigabyte sized XT blocks. There might be some obscure XT version with only 9MB sized blocks but nobody trusts them not to start sneaking in other stuff. If there was a choice that only had the 8MB block change, and nothing else then the majority might decide to follow that even it it was by an unknown dev.
