Not making it up, talking to real people in the space. You can also check out the SegWit2x mailing list archive [0] for companies actively testing SegWit2x. From there I've seen BitGo, Blockchain, Bloq, OB1 (Open Bazaar), Purse.. these

Sounds like you already know. The Core devs say that SegWit2x is too rushed (and I tend to agree), but it's also putting forward a new client that could become the default over Core (btc1), and a potential refresh of the dev team. This

Segwit2x has the hash power to end this. Also, with XT there wasn't really n alternative scaling solution to a blocksize increase, as far as I know. This time we have SegWit as an alternative and with the threat of UASF, the community

Erm, currency is the term, and it's a laudable goal, but we're not there yet. Most look at cryptocurrencies as a a hedge because of different monetary policy (eg Bitcoin), censorship resistance, or other features (Ethereum). Bitco

Obviously it's early. No reason there we can't have. Stable store of value as cryptocurrencies mature. Regarding bank whims, if you're a properly banked person who's never had an issue, great. If you've never had tr

You're suggesting the answer to "we need better startup time" must be "we need the best startup time possible"? In that case, Go is also bad. Everything should be hand-rolled assembler. Many of us who actually run C

It's not. If you're trying to say it can be used as a unit of account, well.. okay, but same for the dollar. But it's inflationary on top of the obvious speculative swings, versus eg Bitcoin that's got a capped supplY. E

Right, but it can also be frozen due to the whims of the bank, garnished by the IRS, taken by wire fraud... Obviously cryptocurrencies are sharp tools, but they're stronger financial primitives than what we have. We just need to use th

What are you talking about? The dollar loses to inflation every year. A 1990 dollar is $1.87 in 2017 dollars.

That's like saying any small vertical in the stock market shouldn't be compared to the wntire rest of the economy. Well no, and that's not the comparison being made.

Excuse my brevity. Definitely meant "Clojure on the JVM" vs other hosts.

by mhluongo 9y ago
It's not a strawman at all- many of us who run Clojure have had to switch to other langs for parts of our infrastructure that require faster start-up time. Think Lambda / "serverless" computing, etc Agreed it doesn'

It solves fast startup relative to the JVM.

True. Guess I'm surprised Kraken et al haven't already announced that they'll support all chains, though? I guess they're all quietly prepping in case more than one chain is viable.

You skipped the option that's closest to consensus! SegWit2x has industry support and has a short enough window to lock-in before the Aug 1st UASF EDIT: Quick reference https://medium.com/@wintercooled/the-road-to-

The million dollar question. If you look back at what the Ethereum split did for the market, maybe it'll give you some ideas. Remember though- if you don't have any Bitcoin under your own control (non-custodial wallet) you might n

Doubtful. Aside from bitcoin.org's history, if it were, you'd expect more exchanges announcing UASF / legacy / SegWit2x trading pairs.

by mhluongo 9y ago
Bitcoin.org definitely has a position. I wouldn't be surprised if they were pro-UASF, even though it appears there's consensus behind an alternative. That said- this is a legit notice and is probably good advice. This is a content

There's been a debate (the "scaling debate") raging in the Bitcoin community for years. It's been especially bad the past two. I'll skip the details, but essentially two different visions for Bitcoin's growth h

How is that a useless figure? You'd expect it to have the same ratio per block or per day, so they're comparable when talking about the ratio of fees to rewards

Copyleft virality requires IP enforcement. Doing away with IP doesn't necessarily imply a world where everyone wants to share publicly
