We know each other from the early days of memo and we know we aren't sock puppets. I see that ABC creates checkpoints and rents hash, while nChain is mining on the original protocol.
... original protocol is not a holy gift. I am sad because I think you have been bamboozled. I want you guys back on BCH where we can build permissionless p2p cash for the world.
Bitcoin protocol seems to be a system that is finely tuned economically & legally; ABC is reckless with its changes. Just adding DSV has a good chance of making BCH a target of SEC.
Using the realpolitik language that nchain already uses, this is immaterial. If it is possible, it is possible. As loudly proclaimed by nchain many times, it is already possible.
Crypto IS already target of SEC. It makes absolutely no sense to want to make the SEC happy. We are already in a war: goverment vs. crypto. If Crypto wins, gov will collapse
So you would be against adding privacy features to BCH because it would mean that governments would be able to use them as well, therefore not helping with transparency?
I get your point, but use Jujitsu, use their energy against them. Yield to their actions and flow that energy against itself. Let them be big and strong, use that against them.
.. BCH has now set a precedent of tinkering with the fine-tuning, which means that it is going to continue & likely escalate in future-forks; imo not-freezing of protocol is a no-go
