What? That is exactly what it does not do! Bitcoin takes the politics and money out of consensus -- once you are running a full node you are validating the rules and the ruleset is unchanging. Being above politics is entirely the point.

Thanks, but seeing as I'm quoted in those articles I think I got it sorted out :)

patio11 this is horribly incorrect and you know better. The core argument is about the nature of bitcoin and the relationship of max block size limit to centralization pressures.

They have been split up. Bitcoin Core now builds a separate library, libbitcoinconsensus.

What the heck are you talking about? The bitcoin core repo accepts contributions from any and all. There are new developers showing up all the time.

Power failures result in corruption. (To be fair, true of just about every SSD except the Intel DC line. But I have personally experienced this with the 850 Pro.)
