RE: The Battle And Future Of Bitcoin In Jeopardy

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Bitcoin is changed via consensus, not sticking up your middle finger and forking off and then telling everyone you're the real deal. If you want to know a surefire way to tell who the enemies of bitcoin are (whether they know it or not) it's the people who mock, dismiss or belittle consensus. Or flat out lie and claim they have it when they don't like S2X proponents did at first. Consensus is Satoshi's vision. Not this crap. Segwit got consensus from everyone, nodes, users, devs, and miners. That's why it changed bitcoin itself instead of creating a new coin. Consensus is difficult to get by design. What happens if by some miracle bcash becomes "bitcoin"? (it won't) There will just be disagreement again and more forks. Jeff you are now an enemy of bitcoin because you support a coin that not only broke consensus rules but did so willingly because everyone on their side doesn't care about consensus at all unless it suits them. Bcash never even TRIED to get consensus to become bitcoin, thus never even TRIED to BE bitcoin, thus never WILL be bitcoin. If you wanted to raise the blocksize so bad you should have stood on the technical merits of it and convinced everyone to agree to it. That's how you could have fired core, by convincing everyone to stop running the core client and running one that ups the blocksize at a certain block height, there would have been nothing core could do about that. but you blew it and made things worse for yourself and the whole market, you don't know it yet but you will. You've shown everyone who understands bitcoin that core are actually the people who respect consensus and not the bcash side.

Sort:  

BCH "broke concensus rules"?

The posibility of forks and other experimentation - like segwit/segwit2x and disagreements over it - are there by design.
