Just of note, I tend to deliberately keep that argument out of here. It's not really relevant and tends to upset the natives. I'll usually only bring it in where I think it's directly relevant and then only in relation to BTC itself (i.e. I'll discuss capacity but not in relation to other coins which have addressed it).
I *sort of* appreciate this. And I am sure there are some who would get hot under the collar. But I personally think the scaling discussions are still of extremely high importance. We are moving forward all of us having no idea where we are going. That's why I say "sort of". I think it's an important discussion. As long as it does not devolve into "You're dumb", "Read the whitepaper" type stuff. Which is mostly what reddit is.
I personally WANT someone to broaden my thought models. If I could really plant a flag in the big block ideas in a way where I feel confident it would work. I think Satoshi thought it might, for example, while Hal Finney seemed to be the proto small-blocker.
The white paper is always brought up. And Satoshi had not anticipated ASICS (who knows if that later Satoshi email is real where "he" talks about exactly that) and that changed EVERYTHING. It made the idea of the "validation node" important. Vitally important. We discovered by this tech that between hashing, and consensus validation the latter *might* be more important, though they go deeply hand in hand.
Anyway, i welcome discussing this, and would take part in another thread if it should not happen here.

That is the one drawback of this area, alot of the maxis (NGU evangelists) are blind and deaf to anything that even hints at not having current core as being the end all holy grail of code that God himself rode down on his chariot and scribed in stone for the filthy masses.
But it just them being close minded and shilling their bags without any other thought in their head.
*Disclaimer:
No I do not ascribe to big blocks and think it is an attack vector.
I just am adult enough to be able to discuss it without frothing at the mouth.

I quite enjoyed jbreher and miss him.
Yeah, what happened to the bear? I think I was away and then I saw a few posts mentioning he was gone but I didn't see any reasoning for it.
I also enjoyed his posts, even the ones that were bullshit big blocker.
He seems to me to be a good man just with a differing viewpoint.
Not to mention he is intelligent and has thick skin which are a few qualities sorely lacking in the world these days.

I *LOVE* being around people I disagree with. An easy example: You and I are falling on different sides of this argument, and I APPRECIATE the discussion. As much of a iconoclast as he was around here I quite enjoyed jbreher and miss him. But the signal to noise in /r/btc is mind numbing. I would give some ridiculous examples but it would be a waste of time.
It's narratives, narratives all the way down.

Meh, there's noise everywhere and to my eye, a lot of the noise in r/btc is from trolls (of the bitcoin maximalist and (non-bch) shitcoin variety). Though I have to say that I don't use Reddit anywhere near as much as I used to since they got hijacked by the left (though a few technical subs are still OK). I find bch less interesting these days anyway. Because it was formed from a split, there was a window where it had to succeed or fail and I think we're out of that window and success hasn't been attained. It's clear the honey-badger is still the honey-badger and now it remains to be seen how it deals with capacity issues (I am obviously not as optimistic for LN as you are).

I'll usually only bring it in where I think it's directly relevant and then only in relation to BTC itself (i.e. I'll discuss capacity but not in relation to other coins which have addressed it).

Yeah. It's terrible. I feel like i got my foot in a bear trap.
I run two nodes, of the 83000 on the network.
These bellcurve dwellers are a sad lot.

You might have been able to talk yourself into custodial wallets being OK but not everyone agrees. If you don't like being around people you disagree with then yes, you should probably stay out of there.
I would stress that my viewpoint has much more nuance than that. I do not use custodial wallets (well very much... I try most everything). And i do not think they are the best choice for all people. AND I hope the people of El Salvador will begin to shift towards non-custodial lightning solutions since I think mostly they are using WoS so far.
I do not see that we can possibly "get rid of the banks" and have been making this point ad-nauseum for years. Us in here?? Yeah we won't need them. And interestingly neither will many of the people of El Salvador. But most people are going to NEED to trust others.
My wife is brilliant, but she has no time for me to explain how our multisig wallets work. I have beautiful instructions typed up in the vault for when the bus hits me. She trusts me. This is a good thing.

A bit absent these days. Number seem go up. We on track for moon by end of cycle. All good.

The trap is in the name, the BCH folks are in /r/btc.
Yes, this is because Theymos decided to purge r/bitcoin of dissenting opinions when there was only Bitcoin.

Jeebus, please someone throw a cold glass of water on me.
For some reason I went into /r/btc and started posting in there. I feel like I was swarmed by zombies.
But also, I have to admit, I kind of like how mad they are. I am sorry they are losing, but I did not pick their side for them.

Bots which will ignore what you write and keep down voting all replies until you leave, or BCH paid shills, it's a cesspool, made the same mistake myself a while back.
Same goes for most of this forum. WO is the only thread I'm here for.
I ran out of merit, but yes, to some degree.
