some systems cannot be changed from within. better to do what we think is right than tip toe around arbitrary laws.
Not true in many cases. Think of the natural world, parasites work from within and are very successful. I would rather sap the strength of government for a while, then change it
LMAO... exactly! Like Roger doing fucking CPR with more stolen hash... but I don't think he'll have many btc cloud mining customers after pulling that shit on them! laughing so hard!
he is subsidizing them out of his own funds I would guess. He can borrow the hash form himself but has to pay the miners the return they would have got mining BTC.
Basically the txns between the checkpoint and when the re-org chain emerges will be frozen in time until ABC can pump their minority chain back to life. It will be a total cfusterfulk.
Yes,, I agree it would be a nightmare, but it is possible right?
CSW probably paid for a patent on the money button or something. Or maybe some other patents on things he hasn't done yet. Like I said, got him by the Apples. x got the shaft.
The way fund raising works is you get investors, but they are not really the boss of you. You take their money and your board or CEO gets to decide how to spend it.
It's war. I'm not saying I like the idea, but you have to expect that these people have their backs to the wall. They are desperate. They will eventually get to desperation.
If SV were giving up they'd turn their miners off and quit wasting money. They're re-orging the ABC chain, 100% fact.
so you have two seperate chains, couldn't you take a block before their checkpoint and just work from there to re-org, and skip the blocks that have new rules with the protections?
Then, you have to follow how titles of posts gradually changed.
Finally, you have to watch the video again.
Then you will know the lie made out of what Ryan said.
Ryan didn't say anything about getting sued as a direct threat from SV, he mentioned the cost of doing business on the ABC chain and working against patents held by nChain.
Institutions/individuals will try to perpetuate the problem to which they are the solution.
yes, they are hammers and see everything as a nail, and put out more and more nails so they are needed. They are not trying to fix the problem, if they did we would not need them.
At this point bch is just becoming a shitcoin. Miners didn't vote, and we have now 2 centralized chains
Even if I like a bit what want to do SV it's just over and Bitcoin(Cash) is dead
Only one coin can be the "Best". We are experimenting with many solutions, and all who held BTC now have BCH and now have BCHSV, we are all fine, lets just see what version is best
Srsly it can't keep going like that for months
The ecosystem is not ready for such hashwars, that's it
Even if in 200days SV has more PoW on it nobody will call that bch ...
What if craig doesn't want to be called BCH, what if his plan is to be called BTC??
BCH can still become money for the world, but only if we lock down the protocol and create a solid foundation for teams to build on top of. This should be your number one priority in BCH.
Devs are trying to do good things, but they are making things more complex each step of the way, making developing more important as they go. Keep it simple. Lock down the protocol and let people build on top of it
Roger Ver, your a gracious winner so far. Keep it up. Please get the protocol simple and lock it down, devs are like hammers who see every problem as a nail. Devs are only a part of the system. Balance power.
All roger did was buy a bunch of bitcoins at $1. Thats it.
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.
If CSW is Satoshi then my views on Bitcoin and BCH are devalued immensely.
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.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
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
