A 55% threshold will not cause disruption. Everyone will have plenty of time to upgrade.

You do know that just repeating this claim like a mantra doesn’t actually make it so, right?

reply

If someone can argue coherently as to why it's wrong, I will change my mind. I have only heard incoherent FUD up until now.

reply

Incoherent FUD like this proposed guide?

Social consensus is overwhelmingly in favor of rejecting data storage as a use case, and BIP-110 is the best way to accomplish this. If someone finds a better way, I will withdraw BIP-110. Failing that, there is absolutely no reason to oppose BIP-110.

Social consensus is overwhelmingly in favor.

Measured how?

reply

Do you think that Bitcoin should officially support the arbitrary data storage use case?

reply

No, but that is because there is no official.

If I change your question to:

Do you think that the Bitcoin consensus rules should be restricted to remove abuse?

Then my answer is also no.

Answer the question

If 2016 blocks is plenty of time to upgrade, why not just have BIP 110 activate 2016 blocks from now?

You cannot be serious.

serious as:

My statement is serious. Yours is not.

absolutely no reason to oppose BIP-100

It's statements like these that get people frustrated with this endeavor. You claim they are serious statements, but it seems pretty clear to me that many people have surface reasonable doubts about the effects of BIP-110. Brushing it all aside by saying "absolutely no reason" is hardly a serious attempt at convincing thinking people to support this BIP.

reply

Ignore them, their way of debating is either disingenuous or reveals serious lack of reasoning capacity.

That being said, the fact that they attract a not insignificant following of bitcoiners suggests to me that Core really needs to signal and communicate better about dealing with the spam issue. (IMO).

reply

They are serious. If you disagree, you should explain why you disagree, otherwise you are just wasting people's time.

this is wasting people's time:

A 55% threshold will not cause disruption. Everyone will have plenty of time to upgrade. (#1405103)

You are the one coming in with a proposal to dramatically change bitcoin. It's on you to put up a serious argument. Statements like this are ridiculous.

But more than that, stop acting like I'm some kind of bad actor for questioning you. You're the one with the new ideas here. If you want to convince other users of Bitcoin to follow along with your fork, you have to win us over. You have no ground on which to stand. You have to earn it, and so far all you've done is act like everyone is obviously on your side and those who are not are bad actors. That's a bullshit way to argue. Stop being such a dork.
