(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...

(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...

(comment) there were never any salaries for abc This is a misconception. Not sure why you think this. They got 800BCH on a "fundraiser". Roger said they paid half a million to them. And even well before...

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

@SharkySharkdog 4 years ago

(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...

(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?

@SharkySharkdog 4 years ago

(comment) WebAssembly Ehm, web-assembly is created by the likes of Apple, Microsoft and Google. This means that there are surely software patents on this, which will be "fair and reasonable" for any com...
