Well friend I think at this leg in the race it is safe to say that you are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine but let's just agree to disagree here and move on.
Funny my post was deleted although it only brought up legitimate concerns.
Another big red flag.
Ahem... Lets review something really quick.
First of all -- Why would you bother quoting a shitcoin in a forum full of seasoned traders and developers who understand that Eclipse has nothing special or new to offer either -- This reference point is not doing you any favors and just proved that you are here to troll and waste everyone's time.
If you think I am just here to fud, then you are wrong.
Eclipse is also new but the dev was able to give me a satisfactory answer so I have given my interest/support.

I am simply trying to find out the same for this coin.
Again to my earlier point - This is not a shitcoin (unlike the particular post you linked) it is simply an improvement to the existing successful bitcoin blockchain and if you took the time to do some research you would understand that there is a huge community backing that supports the increased block size which will ultimately lend a helping hand in C-bits future success.
you are funny. there is absolutely 0 reason to currently think that this is different than any other shitcoin.
only thing worth noting currently is 2MB block size but even that is not a big deal.
I feel like your attempts at providing constructive feedback or "nitpicking" is doing nothing other than pissing people in this thread off and at this point rather than continuing to sit there in your chair and keyboard warrior it up -- stop trying to prove a point and sit there and wait to see whether or not this coin goes somewhere -- if it does GREAT! if not... what did you really lose ?
Much more special than simply changing block size limit and max supply. At least they have solved an actual flaw. I am waiting but I do not see where I am whining. If you think me pointing out the possibility of vaporware is trolling than you need to meet a real troll. Nitpicking is necessary because it is important to be critical of things, especially in the cryptocurrency scene.
I fail to see how there were any smoke and mirrors involved in the developers explanation of how this coin works.. i believe it was clearly spelled out to you and im pretty sure there are no smoke and mirrors at play here. Also in this statement you said yourself you will wait and see what is brought to the table yet you still continue onward to poke at the developer..
I will wait to see what you bring... Seems more like smoke and mirrors to me but please prove me wrong. Will be watching.
See below response.
Copy pasting bitcoin code and changing to 2MB blocksize + supply is not innovation.
I was expecting some actual innovation.
If changing block size and supply count is innovation, then oh gee... bitcointalk is overflowing with innovators... especially the altcoin section.
The only thing that would make C-bit worth anything is if it really was a solution to the current blocksize problem but it is not.
Please do not say C-bit is the solution because it has 2 MB block size already.
On a more realistic note, if you think Bitcoin Core supporters will move to C-bit you are delusional.
Do you have any reason why people would consider C-bit OTHER than the 2 MB block size?
Yes -- You have made it abundantly clear that you possess the capabilities to copy and paste a response to try and continue to backup your argument. Remember -- We all read what you typed the first time there is no reason to reiterate what you had already stated.
I can easily make a copy and paste bitcoin clone and change block size to 2 MB and increase max supply to 210,000,000.
This is all you have achieved so far so please do not say you have 'done anything'.
I repeat, once you actually present something 'noteworthy', then you can continue with your grand claims.
I am simply calling it as I see it. Am I wrong? I did not mine any of this coin because 2MB and 210m supply alone is not appealing enough... not to mention how you are working towards centralization.
Please just do the people who are actually excited about the direction this coin can potentially head; let us be excited. There is no need for you to continue to drag something out that is just going to end in you flaming about some half baked opinion and the rest of us laughing from behind our screens.
Cheers-

Okay I will address your points.
You are saying it is not shitcoin because of what reason?
If the reason is either
a) supply count or b) 2MB block size
then your reason for C-bit not being a shitcoin is invalid.
The fact that there are many members that support a block size increase in bitcoin does not in any way mean they will somehow end up supporting C-bit.
Having 2 MB does not mean you have the actual support of those looking to increase blocksize.
One of the reasons why there is debate and so much interest about bitcoin blocksize is because it is bitcoin. Blocksizes are currently not worth considering for any other cryptocurrency other than bitcoin.
If you seriously think they will suddenly switch over to C-bit simply because it has 2 MB blocks, then I really have nothing to say other than go get a reality check.
Let me clarify: my concern is this (and it still stands) - what does C-bit have to offer? From what I can see the only things it can offer is a difference in supply count and blocksize already being 2 MB.
This is where my concerns are. Quite frankly, 2MB block sizes and bigger supply is not actually offering anything new.
If the only selling point of C-bit is 2MB blocks then it is doomed.
Bitcoin's block size problem will be resolved, it is simply a matter of when and how, not if.
What then? When bitcoin increases block sizes, what is the selling point of C-bit then?
You can be excited all you want, but also remember to keep a level head.
Do you not know the altcoin scene? Every 10 altcoins, 9.9 of them are scams.
I am just providing a reality check.
I am not saying this is a scam although it does seem suspicious.
I do not know enough yet to make that judgement.
What I can say is this... I am highly doubtful of the coins success due to reasons I mentioned above.
I hope I don't have to make an unmoderated thread for C-bit.
