I think if CSW & nChain do hire more hashing power to commit 51% attack they would openly expose themselves as enemies of Bitcoin & no one would ever trust them any more.
Getting more than 51% is the correct move. Attacking minority is the move CSW SHOULD do. Most ppl just think it's bad, when it's not.
Exactly. one chain preserved is in everyone's best interest.
But they'll "own" the chain. It'll be their territory.
Agreed. If CW wins this then the bully will have more reason to expect control over any other future decisions and will threaten and throw tantrums if he doesn’t get his way.
So it's proof of tantrum now? Astounding how few ppl understand Bitcoin even now.
Sure at the end of the day the hash will decide however the community would still have to put up with CW pretending he’s the king of the castle on his SV throne.
CW is leading the SV project. He is threatening the community if he doesn’t get his way. Therefore if SV wins he will assume his imaginary dictatorship to any future changes/upgrade
Why do you consider CSW as the one attacking Bitcoin?
Bitcoin ABC dev is BFF with Greg(nullc)
Jihan is a major investor in Blockstream
Trezor (biggest sellout in history) supports ABC
See my comment on this video where I explain why
Stress test was an ABC failuire which they still have not addressed.
No fork needed to fix that.
Just somebody that knows what they are doing.
Bitcoin Unlimited FTW! I like their new Asymmetric Moving Maximum Block Size proposal, avoids politics and attacks.
I liked miners suggesting a portion of block rewards to go to best implementation team but who can judge best team when the experts are in the teams themselves 🤦♂️
I feel like I have to learn bitcoin script myself and fix things lol.
SV forked ABC they have it too.
Alright, so if there are no issues, then why we never mined more than 24MB block?
The way he acts, like a statist, arrogant asshole that wants things his way only and threatens a lot but hasn't done a damn thing to prevent takeover of BTC, and few other things
CSW has a small fraction of the total hashing power. If miners join him and they collectively get more than 51% then the minority hashrate IS the attack. That's Bitcoin.
The using same logic Bitcoin Cash was attack on Bitcoin?
The ppl who scream "he's trying to take control!" don't know how Bitcoin works. For it to be an "attack" CSW has to be willing to lose everything. If he's king and he sucks - bye bye!
But to be fair, ABC with their new op-codes seem to want to do it as well. If either side added replay protection I wouldn't consider it as an attack, but neither side wants to do this
Attack is when some entity wants to force their will onto others, BCH didn't do that, Core guys did, and CSW seems to want to do it also.
It still is. But the difference is that BCH ( the ABC devs actually ) volunteerly put replay protection into BCH so that the transactions could not be replayed.
The truth is, if you're deploying hashing power pointed at a certain implementation you're merely voting. With no replay-protection it's a winner take all election.
