(comment) Wow, I knew you were building oracles but I wasn't aware that they are ready for production. That's really cool that the first building block is basically there already.

(comment) Thank you Marc, and thank you for your VERY generous donation. Insane ;-)

(comment) I am aware that there are technical challenges to solve. But even today I could give you a batch of pre-signed transactions that you could release to the network once a certain block height is reach...

(comment) We recently witnessed something that's never happened in the 12 year history of Bitcoin. An entire community forking together at the drop of a hat to get rid of a single bozo. Not sure if this...

(comment) Also, Amaury will have to pay taxes on the 8% he syphons from the network. Depending on who the address belongs to (him or ABC). Either way I can imagine this getting ugly for him if the revenue gen...

(comment) Thats not true, because of the various difficulty adjustment methods. Simplifications: 1 block earns 1 Bitcoin/BCH, BTC is worth 10k, BCH 1k, the IFP is 10%. Every 10 minutes, miners now earn 10k...

(comment) Thank you so much for your generous donation, I just re-logged in and saw it (shocked!). I would do it without the finanical incentives too, I write these articles because I believe in the version o...

(comment) I understand why some people may not be too concerned about this specific decision, but that doesn't mean the politics are not relevant to them. When reflecting upon how this affects you, you should...

(comment) Interesting writeup, I appreciate to actually hear some arguments for the ABC side because it gives us a chance to discuss them. Bitcoin Cash is a system built on incentives. BCH doesn't care ab...

(comment) Yes, the article came out a few minutes (or maybe 1-2 hours) before the meeting.

@ZakMcRofl 3 years ago

(comment) Nice writeup but ultimately not very constructive for the following reasons: In an open source project, enforcing a fee is hard (it can just be removed from the source code before compilation)...

(comment) Hi George, I agree with many of your points here, thanks for writing this up and being so honest about the relationship with Amaury. I am curious to hear how you expect us to prevent a fork. To pull...

@ZakMcRofl 3 years ago

(comment) Very insightful. More than personally pledging to get rid of any ABC coins, we need to convince the wallet developers to implement aserti3-2d. If no wallet supports the ABC side, why would any excha...

@ZakMcRofl 3 years ago

(comment) Honestly, I was hoping that this is the case and it is a relief to me. I will add this to my article. I think you have great potential to influence ABC for the better from within which in turn will...

(comment) You wrote so much yet you didn't address any of the points I made. Let me addresse your points: A PR person that fails to see any flaw on the side he represents is a waste of resources. He should tr...

@ZakMcRofl 3 years ago

(comment) Because for a developer that step is trivial, both implementations are almost identical and Amaury can test, run and play around with BCHN just as easily as with ABC code. Also these discussions are...

@ZakMcRofl 3 years ago

(comment) So please be constructive and give us some transparency: How many people work full time (paid) for Bitcoin ABC? What is the legal entity behind Bitcoin ABC? Who are the shareholders of that...

(comment) "Ascertained if they were in fact a "public good" (by the technical definition). " If you look at the BCH ecosystem and only identify ABC, BCHD and Electron Cash as a public good, you didn't look ve...

(comment) You have a lot of factual mistakes and some misleading statements in your article: the updated and implemented proposal is 5% (presumably permanently, not only 6 months) bitcoin.com did...

(comment) Thank you to everyone involved, this is a great initiative and shows how the community can come together to solve a problem (miners not having choice). This is exactly what I had in mind when I wrot...

(comment) Amaury Séchet is a brilliant developer. But like many strong developers, he has a severe lack of social and leadership skills. He is demonstrating this to the whole community by how he is acting at...

(comment) In theory other miners could replace the target addresses in their own modified Bitcoin ABC version but the blocks containing these reward targets would get rejected by the original Bitcoin ABC node...

(comment) Then, along came another for-profit company that also secured excellent funding, hired up many good devs, and put them to work on the Bitcoin Cash client. They also did exactly what any profit-seeki...

@ZakMcRofl 4 years ago

(comment) I am not sure if that really is the general community sentiment. There are literally thousands of open source projects that flurish without a financial incentive that is an output of the product the...

(comment) Thank you for the correction, I will edit the article accordingly. Just for the record, do you support the IFP in its current implementation or would you also prefer to be removed from the whitelist...
