I'm getting tired of the statements that it can't be done, its a hypothetical situation and I'm asking for your reaction , please bother to read the posts before you post


Just a suggestion you enable voting next time when all your interested in is:
A) continue using Bitcoin
B) quitting Bitcoin

and any other reaction make you bit anger. BTW you even did not told who will have right to reverse transactions, as there are many options for this

His opinion has already been posted,"too stupid", he proclaimed.
Opinion on the question not about the question, even a definitive answer like I quit will do if he wants. If any opinion on a question was to be done on bitcointalk, we could be looking at pretty off-topic things like "Oh when I was looking at my posts, a butterfly came and sat on my hand" on a question about "Is forum's My posts viewable for you?".

I'm sorry, but I don't agree that those are the same things. He's scrutinizing the question because the hypothetical doesn't make sense; Nothing said was off-topic.
Very well then I have posted my argument for his opinion and as I see he hasn't made a comeback with another one I guess I am right then.
Anyway, I have repeated in the OP that I do not want the "thats impossible" type of statements.

A ) Having the last word does not make you correct.
B ) Stupid and impossible are two completely different things. Paypal is stupid, Reversible-Bitcoin Transactions are stupid (In-Theory) not impossible (obviously).

I would absolutely not be using Bitcoin if they could reverse transactions.  Paypal is already bad enough with all the scammers out there and they do absolutely no protection for the seller.  It simply isn't worth it if you are able to reverse the transaction.  Bitcoin would be dead in a few months if that ever happened.

If this will ever happen let's suppose sometimes I would immediately quit the use of Bitcoin.Just like other this is the basic feature which made the Bitcoin successful and kept in on the track although the real success and to go mainstream fully is still far.

Would you still use and believe in bitcoin if it became reversible, say if satoshi himself managed the disputes like paypal does?
Will you quit?

Yes, I'd quit.  In such a scenario, I'd fully expect an altcoin to eventually take Bitcoin's place and I'd start using an assortment of the most likely candidates.

it is not reversible like paypal BUT you can put a system on top of bitcoin which is reversible like paypal. the beauty of bitcoin  Wink
Quote from: Kprawn on September 28, 2015, 11:18:48 AM
It's not totally impossible, if this happens off-chain through a service like Xapo. If Xapo have enough proof that the coins send from one Xapo user to another, was fraudulent or

a crime, they might intervene and reverse the transaction, before it gets to the Blockchain. Then again, if for some miraculous reason, someone submit a BIP with this feature,

Bitcoin is not a corporation. Who handle all these disputes? "Satoshi himself"? That's not funny anymore.
Whats not funny in that anyway,

Seems people are taking my comment way too seriously, when I said "Satoshi" I meant a company
I think thats enough for your useless blabber I'm not asking for your opinion if you don't want to give but dont go off-topic I am just asking what you will do.

As most of others said it's impossible. Satoshi manages disputes? I laughed at that part. Reversible payments are one of the most important specifications in Bitcoin. You get money from other side of the world, you don't want to get disputed. Plus nobody can deny or reverse these payments, Bitcoin is not a corporation.
Christ is it that hard for people to imagine? I've repeated this more than 10 times already I guess, just imagine if it does become reversible what will you do then?

That's not up to imagination. That's making the working system not to work anymore. That's absurd question like, "imagine you can go Mars with school bus." What will you do? You'll die when you're still in the atmosphere.
Bitcoin is not a corporation. Who handle all these disputes? "Satoshi himself"? That's not funny anymore.
Who put laws and rules? That means it become a centralized system. Of course nobody here will use it.

I don't think the person who created the framework for Paypal personally settles disputes. Wink

However, if BTC became reversible it would die.. Fast

I would lose interest entirely.

This would require the 'mother of all hard forks'. On a difficulty scale of 1-to-1,000 with changing one line of code to increase the block size being a 10; forking to support Satoshi authorized chargebacks would be a 1,001. Basically, it's a silly hypothetical because it can't happen.
