So please, stop wasting my time and start the real discussion.

You are about as genuine as a virgin in a whorehouse.

Well - I think perhaps this is not really the main point that the Chinese are interested in.

If good old Gavin's ego wasn't just as big then why would he be dancing between one fork or another just to try and rest control back to himself?


Wresting control is not possible by any developer. Developers write code, create feature sets. Users choose distributions based upon feature sets. There is no wresting here - Bitcoin is about choice and freewill, enforced by value being decided by the economic majority.

If you really believe that it's possible to wrest control of Bitcoin then it has already failed.

So no matter how old I will be, I will never "grow up".
Fine - "Peter Pan" - just don't expect "the adults" to bother talking with you (and please stop trying to lecture them as they don't appreciate it from your "dumb ass")
Dear Sir.

I have provided plenty of logical arguments of which all your posts are lacking.

So seriously, what kind of discussion do you expect with me ? When discussing with me:
- Stay strictly on topic (I perceive straying off topic as a manipulative & defensive tactic)
- Use logic
- Use factual arguments

So please, stop wasting my time and start the real discussion.

Overall, there seems to be a sense of helplessness. Some reflected on why the Chinese had so little say in the matter and some urge that the Chinese should form their own core development team and create their own fork.

Hi Eric,

What do you think about the Classic implementation? What does chinese miners think about it?

Many Chinese Bitcoiners - not only miners, but also exchanges and wallet services, originally supported Classic for its support of 2MB block size, but after meeting Jeff Garzik in Beijing, many backtracked because they didn't believe that the team behind is capable or there is a roadmap.

That's weired. Jeff Garzik and Gavin Andresen would be some of the best team leaders in the world.
It will be interesting to see the adoption Classic gets after the first release in a few hours.

I will repeat this once more, for posterity:

Saying that "bitcoin is hashcash extended with inflation control" is exactly like saying that "car is just horse carriage extended with combustion engine"

A person who said such thing must have HUGE ego problems.

Gavin has been pretty vocal in saying he will help contribute code to pretty much anyone trying to improve Bitcoin.  I don't see anything wrong with that.  If he thought 1MB was best and was contributing code there you wouldn't have the same complaint.  Let's not demonize Gavin, that's not the argument.

Seriously ?

You are so naive and have completely no understanding of the topic you are discussing. It would be a waste of time.

Personally I think your parents should have taught you better than to try and lecture your elders about "being naive" but seemingly they didn't (perhaps your parents were not educated at all?).
You have no idea who are you talking to, so stop assuming things.
You don't know everything about the person on the other side of the monitor.
You don't. I am not a young person.

So unfortunately you have a bit of a problem in even knowing how to be polite (apart from not knowing when you are wrong).
I am full aware that I am not very polite on the internet.
But with age & experience, I found out that it works better (most of the time) than being too polite.

We'll wait and see if you can ever "grow up" (but I doubt it).
I have my years, but already decided that I will not grow up. Never.
I have seen over the years that "growing up" too often means just agreeing with establishment and pretending that "everything is OK" while it is far from it.

So no matter how old I will be, I will never "grow up".

I don't see it - can you just provide the *exact link* or not?


Check under his picture, under his name..  We can't direct link to that.

If you're referring to the quote "hashcash with extended inflation control," it's on Adam Back's twitter profile...

Yes, but that happened in 1997. 11 years passed before someone figured out how to use it and invent Bitcoin - the fact that he takes credit for inventing Bitcoin in this manner shows insights into the level of ego we are talking about.

Please quote where he does (I remember from when he joined this forum after me that he said in his sig that he invented Hashcash but not Bitcoin).

So "I'm calling bullshit".

Are you actually serious, or is this some form of sophisticated propaganda ?

It seems rather obvious that you are in fact part of some sort of sophisticated propaganda.

I don't think I care to bother with you any more (so please stop wasting my time with your stupid replies).
Please don't.

I don't know why they can't simply work on the 2MB forked chain.  It's not like they are stuck supporting a defunct 1MB chain if it goes that way.

Why do they need a 2MB block chain?

(so far the answer is just "because Gavin says so" and "maybe this is a popular thing")


Listen, I am not coming out and attacking you or giving you trash arguments, please don't assume the majority (as admitted by Adam Back) who want 2MB increases are uneducated and simply parrot what we hear Gavin or someone say.

Core ALREADY has come out in support of increasing block limit.  The issue most have with this, is that it isn't quick enough.

Right now there is an artificial fee-market based off of the fact that Core Devs don't want to push out an increase fast enough.  I think we can all admit, regardless of intentions or reasons, about the fact that this DOES benefit Blockstream (pushing users onto sidechains due to lack of ability to be included in the main blockchain due to block size) doesn't LOOK good.

We should have a block size increase because the fee market doesn't need to exist right now until block rewards are gone.
