@MortuusBestia @sneakdotberlin @jonmatonis @robustus @oleganza Hear him out, maybe he knows how to fix that problem in humans.

@jonmatonis @sneakdotberlin @robustus @oleganza *shrugs* you say “coup,” I say “competition in the marketplace of ideas.”

@jonmatonis @sneakdotberlin @robustus @oleganza IMO HODLing is the safest action in the event of a fork since your coins are on both chains.

@sneakdotberlin @robustus @oleganza It may very well fail to trigger. Though I seriously doubt it will be the last attempt at a fork, ever.

@sneakdotberlin @robustus @oleganza Seems like a “freedom vs safety” trade-off to me. You can’t stop people from trying in a free market.

@sneakdotberlin @robustus @oleganza No one holds a monopoly on development of the Bitcoin protocol; at best one can BDFL an implementation.

One interesting facet of the block size / fork debate is the revealing of which well respected developers resort to character assassination.

@oleganza To be clear, this doesn’t actually track both chains yet, right?

via Twitter Web Client in reply to oleganza

@oleganza If you’re vehemently against the resource prioritization code, you can disable it with the “disableippro” switch.

@sneakdotberlin @oleganza If you want to be accurate, link to the full code. It only executes if node is attacked. https://t.co/zbsXFxx7kS

@btcdrak Yes, thank you for contributing to proving my statement. Slush miners get to choose which block version to mine.

The power to arbitrarily regulate is also the power to sell exemptions from the harm resulting from said regulations.

Someone needs a better fact checker. Slush is operating 2 pools; second BIP101 block is https://t.co/8WWdjQsooa https://t.co/awPqatGGEH
