@LaurentMT meh; I doubt any of those commenters will be at @ScalingBitcoin ;-)
@aantonop @comcast My @TWC connection is getting 10X faster next month just because @googlefiber is about to arrive :-)
Many people are fearful for the future of Bitcoin, but I’m quite confident that @ScalingBitcoin consensus will be achieved in meatspace.
bendavenport Just booked my tickets to attend @ScalingBitcoin in Montreal Sep 12-13 on behalf of @BitGo.
“We are currently in the process of testing… we will most likely switch to BitcoinXT.” @GenesisMining http://t.co/PV2S4pBLY1
@cypherdoc2 This? Pretty sure he was referring to regtest networks, not testnet. Testnet would reject large blocks. https://t.co/u673Ljk2Og
Currently seeing about 10 transactions per second on testnet with a mempool size of 35,000 transactions. Is that you, Coinwallet.eu?
Whoa; someone is running a transaction stress test on testnet and filling all the blocks: blocktrail.com/tBTC/blocks/1

@ziggamon Sure, plenty of people are opposed to a “benevolent dictator” model. But the “final call” is made by the rest of the ecosystem…
@ziggamon Guess I misunderstood your position. So you don’t think XT could acquire governance of the protocol itself?
@ziggamon If we agree that there is no governance then why do we disagree that XT could somehow acquire governance?
@DigiEconomist If your neighbor has an improvement proposal that the ecosystem agrees with, it should be implemented.
@DigiEconomist Yes; the free market is not about stability.
@DigiEconomist “Trusted control” :-( Sorry, but I thought that’s exactly what we’re trying to avoid with Bitcoin.
To be clear, the Bitcoin protocol is “governed” by the entire ecosystem of participants. If they choose Core to centrally manage, so be it.
Disappointing to see people label Bitcoin XT a “coup.” That’s a centralized way of thinking that implies Core == governance of protocol.
