If CSW is satoshi and has nearly unlimited funds then he is letting ABC dig their own grave by getting their chain longer. He is committing them to battle.
I can see it from both sides, he may be a fraud, but I know the majority is often wrong, and the majority is against him. Just think for a minute, what if he was???
As a sane man (or woman) you should consider your bias and contemplate the fact that you have been wrong in the past, and will be wrong in the future at some point.
This is actually not fun to watch because I know personally that Roger is a nice guy. As we speak he's making the decision whether to bankrupt his business/get sued or let SV win.
Roger is great. This has nothing to do with him. He is just cannon fodder,,,,collateral damage. Roger is not a major part of this war, he is just the poor bastard on front line.
When you start a business and grow it, you sometimes end up in odd positions. If you have ever owned a business you would understand. He didn't choose so much as end up to be here
Your comment means you have not. When you own a business you end up in a position with your staff and business that you will need to pivot from, Ver is in a position he didn't design
Dude, I have had several businesses. One I had for 9 years with 40 employess. Now I have two smaller businesses doing investments (real estate and stocks and crypto).
And you have never found yourself in a position where you followed the wrong accountant, lawyer, or partner to a point where you would have never ended up without bad advice??
I have seen much incompetency and bad advice. Luckily nothing that I followed up on. I have a very good nose for greedy / shady people. Anyway, I disagree that Ver is misguided.
Except from nChain/CSW, I don't think ending up in this situation was anyones plan/wish. This is also why I will always have a bad taste when/if BSV becomes a significant cc.
If you have ever run a business this has happened to you, if not your either super lucky, or to stupid to have seen it happen. (not calling you stupid, just saying it has happened)
Roger Ver has done more for crypto than just about anyone but Satoshi or Gavin,,, He is an awesome person and may be selfishly working, but at least he is working.
That doesn't exist, it exists in your head only... and heads of other stupid people who can't look past CSW's personality. Do you get it now? Naaa.... maybe one day, when hell freezes over? :-)
If you want to call that BSV attacked BCH, let me remind you this could only be true if you accept the fact that BCH is ABC's shitcoin now, same how BTC is Core's shitcoin. BSV is the actual Bitcoin... let me reat again for your stupid brain: BITCOIN SV IS THE ONLY BLOCKCHAIN THAT GOES BACK TO BITCOIN'S GENESIS BLOCK AND WORKS LIKE A BITCOIN SYSTEM.... do you get it? Did you get a "click" in that brain of yours? I guess not... this is why YOU WILL ALWAYS SAY STUPID... Mr Legendary Twat
Working hard doesnt help if you dont work smart. Roger Ver has a hard time understanding the word collaboration. He is promoting Marco Coino in every video but never http://bmap.cash
If you had ever checked the places listed on Marco Coino you would realize that many of them are useless services. BMAP.CASH promotes only Restaurants, Bars, Supermarkets & Hotels!
Exactly! First we have to satisfy the needs for survival which are food & accomodation. Nearly nobody is living exclusively on #bitcoin outside the matrix, because they cant!
Well that's why Marco Coino is better and why Roger Ver promotes it. It needs to have everything listed. It's why I look at Marco Coino and not Bitcoin Map.
Many of the places on Marco Coino are services, Roger Ver has probably never checked the map, when he was so excited about Slovenia, most of them are the same hairdresser franchise.
Frankly bmap is a usability disaster. Initial load with animation is too slow. I have to press Cmd+scroll to zoom-in. Map is not in English. Places don't have addresses or phones..
Yea roger keeps giving free bitcoin away in all his YouTube videos, he works tirelessly to help the bch ecosystem and has done more than most people to help bitcoin grow.
Roger gave away more bitcoins than most of us will ever own. Would you agree he has given away more bitcoin than you own?? he has me beat for sure and I have a lot of coins.
Roger has been “marketing/promoting” bitcoin. He is the guy going around telling and showing people what bitcoin is and how to use it. He has done much more than buy bitcoin at $1
Roger is a LARP. He was compromised a long time ago. He is controlled oppostion. Look at all the damage he has caused. All over an opcode nobody asked for.
One big hint is that he says doesn't believe in nations or borders and most importantly - patent law. Also he's an "anarchist" from San Francisco siding with Chinese billionaires.
agreed but not many homeless wake up one day and become millionaires, Roger is a millionaire a few times over, that means he already knows a few things. odds are in his favor
He's been telling everyone in no uncertain terms exactly what he plans to do, for months. This is so that when he actually does it and people lose a ton of money, he's not liable.
I think that he assumed miners would join but the price pump of BTC was too good an opportunity to pass up for most of 'em. Plan B is just buying an f-ton of hash and mining themselves
Even if CSW is only a very early miner, his stash will be considerable. Selling Satoshi coins is the "nuclear option", I don't think it will be necessary. There are many attack vectors
I agree,, but for ABC to think this war is over is weak minded. This war has not started. ABC changed the protocol "for the defense of the people" how many times will they?
After watching this unfold I think we should make the protocol simple and lock it down, and let people build from there, a steady foundation to compete from.. someone already said that
hahaha, I know it's so brazen. Coin flip on weather Jihan comes in to prop up the ABC corpse. The big names declaring victory so soon do a huge disservice to their followers.
Most people don't give a rats butt about the hash war. All they care about is using BCH. Which right now you can't do if they are on an exchange or coinbase.Cart is waiting on Purse.io
Most people are ignorant of the situation, and the damage is a problem. What if you paid in BCH on ABC but your payment later gets reversed or doesn't exist???
Yes. Most people don't understand blockchain. And if it's money, they shouldn't have to worry about if they are going to lose their money or not. This is a major problem.
ABC has hard-coded a fork like this for every 6 months. If miners don't like their changes we'll get the same situation we have today. Basically, if ABC wins it'll be a dictatorship.
The major reason for a fork every 6 months is to scale. They need to do it as quickly as possible so it's ready for adoption. Developers need to do a better job of agreement.
That's a myth. People must let go of the concept that they need to run a "node" at home and let miners and larger institutions run backbone quality servers(like SN said).
CSW has been saying over and over for years, miners need to be running $20k state of the art server nodes connected to backbone quality internet. If you can't afford it, join a pool!
Uncapping the block size is not controversial to any miner who is committed to ABC long-term. Keeping the block size capped so that we can "scale" IS controversial to a lot of miners.
I'm not 100% sure but I think there needs to be a bit of a code re-write to get it completely off. Could also be an excuse for one more hardfork to get the last of the old opcodes back
The fastest internet in the world can download a terabyte in .03 seconds. To scale, there needs to be a "race to the top" for processing and internet speeds, not just hashing power.
The worst part is that they declare victory but don't really explain how they did it, they changed the protocol !!! how do people not understand that this breaks the whole system.
Satoshi is just a man like all of us, happened to write down a good idea, that doesn't mean he is perfect. Ford was an asshole, so was Rockefeller. Doesn't make them less valuable.
