(comment) Side note: I do wish you had picked a title for your article that was less personal. It wasn't your proposal? I have been told many times by BU members that they can't represent BU itself, the...

(comment) that's my point. Why should access to cheap electricity make you have more say in the coin? this and another comment shows you have a core misunderstanding of the basis of power in Bitcoin (Ca...

(comment) I'm not sold on your counter arguments to the logical conclusions that Satoshi had. "good guardians": I don't believe this is true for minority chains. The incentive is not primarily about t...

(comment) I fully support Jonald's "two-teams collaborating" approach - 100%. Sounds good. What sounds better is a 5 team collaboration. There are now 5 different full node implementations for Bitcoin...

(comment) Jonald won't do that, I am certain of this. The article and Jonald is clearly not unbiased and it would have been prudent to include a warning of conflict of interest. If you re-read the article y...

Attracting more Bitcoin Cash developers

As the discussions continue about the proposal to forcefully fund developers from block-rewards I took a step back and asked what problem it is that needs to be solved. The title is apt, there is a...

(comment) Just as an FY: bib-bubbler and j-stodd are recently-active accounts that can safely be called shills. If they bother you, there is a 'block' option to make their comments disappear from your stories...

(comment) Thank you, that is a really good logical response that absolutely clarifies things for me.

(comment) The amount of electricity used is actually not much compared to other industries. Fun example is banking. Just think of all the big buildings they heat! But as fun as this is, you have to remember...

(comment) Calling devs that mostly work for free or little pay, entitled and lazy is beyond toxic. oh, you must have misread. This post is clearly targeting ABC devs. The devs that have been getting a v...

(comment) There are no threats of violence or jail-time if miners refuse to pay. That is purely because they can take your money without violence. A miner that doesn't play loses its coinbase reward, ag...

(comment) Thank you for the tip! I think we must really not assume bad faith on any side I don't see that either. What I see is that the named people are greedy and want to gain power for their own. B...

(comment) You are correct in the title, but you seem to miss the subtlety. The same people suggested SegWit2X that suggested this mining tax. The reason is likely the same. They force the people that want...

You lead and maybe I will follow

The dev-tax proposal was made by some mining pools last week and the community back-lash has been quite extensive. It is safe to say that the proposal as is will not get majority hashpower. A majority...

(comment) but obviously this is not standard business Why not? Or, more specifically, why should it not be a "standard business"?

(comment) I don't think it is speculative. I supported the points made. BU has money and they just signed up for funding a second dev full time. They are not the ones that need the money. The proposal expli...

Thoughts on developer funding

With a miners funding announcement we understand that the actual work and, well, funding targets are not decided yet. This gives the opportunity to take a peek at the kind of development work and te...

(comment) but would you agree with the statement that the fact that it became a medium of exchange, out of nothing, is a great indication that we can't for sure say it will not become a unit of account?
