In the long term (like when BCH is widely used as a currency / high market cap) do you see forks getting less political? Seems they’ll only get worse as stakes are higher.
I'm hoping we can have a permanent protocol in place by late next year. These code monkeys need to work on useful products, not messing around with little pet projects.
Unfortunately, I think Bitcoin is in no position to remain "permanent" any time soon. Hardware demands, network capabilities, etc will mean node implementations need to const. evolve.
Software can shape hardware development as much as the other way around. A great example is ASIC miners. Once we have a protocol set in stone, hardware companies can start making gear.
True, but until Bitcoin gains more significant influence over the world of computer hardware and networking, we are at the whims of the rapidly changing world that cares little for us
All the bottlenecks are all solved by the internet getting faster and bandwidth increasing. These things are happening anyways so ABC is optimizing for a problem that may never come.
Yes I think I missed the part where anybody asked for the features they are putting in. Some asked for opgroup if I recall.
Will be interesting to see if they capitulate. Nobody is screaming for the changes they insist on including, they're only complaining that people object to it. Reminds me of Segwit.
