I get the feeling that the BCH community has been infiltrated with moles and they are actively pushing us towards BCHSV and promoting Craig Wright, it's like Blockstream all over again.
“Jihan and Bitcoin ABC believe that increasing the blocksize limit will centralize the mining activity because only larger-scale miners will be able to process larger blocks.” Article states. Is it true?
No, that is certainly NOT true at all. Both ABC and BU has larger blocksize (up to 1 Terabyte) as a goal. But first the software must be able to handle it.
But what defines the "core design"? Changing stuff which is not part of the "core" is ok then? Is the transaction ordering (ref CTOR) part of this "core" or is that part of the edge?
Unless you believe that Satoshi was an almighty god which could foresee all future development, I don't see why some optimizations cannot be carried out on the protocol.
Very interesting proposals to improve 0-conf transactions in Bitcoin Cash. I think nChain opposes them all. http://zander.github.io/posts/201810-instanttx/
Forfeits are great for accepting high amounts of money with 0-conf.
Crypto market is down, BCH is down, lots of crypto app activity is down. Memo activity may be low but I look at this as a slow period for building before the rush comes, hopefully :)
