The centralization of this forum is making bitcoin look bad.

You're literally the only person that I've ever heard say this for [Suspicious link removed], but that is it.

Quote from: Andreas Antonopoulos
"One of the things that came out of this, which I've found very disappointing. Is that one of the moderators of Reddit, who also is the moderator of [bitcointalk org] and the Wiki. Has taken a stance where he has excluded or censored all conversation about XT.

I think that's really an example how unhealthy the governance structure has become and to me the Reddit platform as result has really deteriorated badly. It's not a healthy place to have a debate. Between the moderators not doing anything about the trolling and doing a lot about censorship instead of focusing on the trolling...I'm out."

hmmm

Now that he has been recognized as an alt of a troll he is siding with the other forum where nobody has yet detected him and his behavior.

Good luck with these nonsensical rumors.

I was waiting for this kind of shitty comment from another bullshit member of this forum.

Can everybody feel the love here, just like one big family Kiss

Strange. Censorship isn't really understandable.

From what I understood bitcoin classic might be less good than core. Ok with that.

but why censorship? It's really worrying I got to say. I don't like the idea at all!

The only reason they are censoring it, is because they are afraid it might not be worse.

If it really is worse, there's nothing to worry about, because people would ignore it.

People should be offered the choice. That's what decentralization is about.

This forum, as well as /r/bitcoin (who is moderated by the same persons) should have links to all viable and stable releases of bitcoin clients. Not only Core. So that people can make their own choice.

Quote

The issue is not free speech, the issue is centralization.

If one user (Theymos) decides on which client gets the spotlight (and therefore, is 99% more likely to out-compete the competition, simply because a large majority of the users is not even aware there is competition in the first place).

And while we could make our own forum, you know that's not a solution. You could make a better facebook, but even though it would be better, it won't gain any users because facebook has over a billion users and your new network will have 0. A social network is nothing if it doesn't have users.

The centralization of this forum is making bitcoin look bad.

Bitcoin Classic is nothing more than an altcoin without the support of the core devs and eventually the miners.

I suspect you will be proven wrong within a few short weeks.

You really think the old cypherpunk guard will just blow over?! You should spend more time here in the trenches. This will get ugly.

Welcome back Roger. Are you aware of the fact that Mircea Popescu has said he'll flood the market with his stash if Classic wins ?

It his highly likely that the majority of the holders will start selling everything. I'll join them as well. Classic is an abomination almost rivaling the case of the recent outbreak of hearnia. I'm not sure how this exactly is relevant to the thread. If anything this thread should be trashed.

I'm a Bitcoin 1%'er myself and will also be dumping my holdings if Classic wins.

Fuck anything involving Roger Ver.

I'm a 0.0001%er and I will dump ALL my holdings if we start forking all over the place. You have been warned.

bitcoinocracy is not reflecting the true picture. There are 150k+ bitcoins backing block size increase.

Is Bitcoin classic still something to do with Bitcoin?

Bitcoin classic is Bitcoin Core 0.11.2 with 2mb block size limit instead of 1mb.

So it is an altcoin Tongue

?

/s

Yes, it is indeed an altcoin. I normally like the way Roger Ver is speaking in interviews and how he is looking to make Bitcoin more popular. But him being pissed off just because of an altcoin does not get mentioned in the reddit media is just ridiculous. He must know that anything that isn't fully related to Bitcoin will either get removed from the social media page, or will simply be "banned" / "blocked". Bitcoin Classic is nothing more than an altcoin without the support of the core devs and eventually the miners.

Hey Z could you ask your buddy Jtoomim how those Black Arrow miners ended up working out, is he pumping out many Classic blocks?

I once had a really good opinion about Roger. But this is changing more and more.Kind of sad and disappointing that he is moving this direction.

What Ver thinks is unimportant. Theymos' censorship is. But if you're fine with that, disregard & move on. Didn't mean to wake you.

My friend have I ever said that I'm fine Theymos's politics? Don't think so.
So why you are trying to put words in my mouth?!

Look at all this censorship! Ver has been full of bullshit since the day that he claimed Mt.Gox was solvent. Cheesy

Quote from: mayax on February 08, 2016, 10:56:26 AM

some people will switch to Bitcoin classic. it will be a mess after few miners will do that too.

They won't do that; that's irrational at best.

It is much worse than Core, not "might be less good".

One could claim that there was some but mostly at the time of the XT fiasco; those times are behind us.

It is.

It doesn't matter what potential changes are, every line of code that is different from original creation is undesirable. Hence the censorship.

This doesn't make sense; hasn't the code changed for most of the part since the departure of satoshi (i.e. original creation)?

Apparently everything which is not standard, current representation of bitcoin is an altcoin for Theymos, and it is not required in bitcoin section of Reddit.
