I'm saying that the main rule for all blockchains (not only Ethereum) is that consensus is decided by the majority. This is their "constitution". The majority of the stakeholders in a blockchain can decide to change the conse

In otherer words, the constitution is above the law. And the constitution allows laws to be changed, in this case by the will of the majority. The same is true for all public blockchains btw.

No, the people deciding to fork were the ETH holders. A lot of them owned DAO tokens, but not a majority, probably about 10%. There was a coin vote before the fork which showed about 85% support, and the result was confirmed by the market a

You speak as if this was an individual's decision. It was not. Vitalik may be influential, but it was not his decision to fork. The community decided so, by a significant majority.

Yeah, I flagged the article for being grossly inaccurate. I've had a lot of frustrations with Docker myself, and will happily switch to Rkt after it matures a bit more. Docker surely deserves a lot of criticism, but it should at least

I for one am definitely looking to replace Docker in production with Rkt. Just waiting for Rkt support in higher-level components (Kubernetes in my case) to mature a bit more.

Such long Base64 URL parameters usually carry encrypted data. So they might be impossible to shorten.

Should have used https://github.com/uWebSockets/uWebSockets for Node.js, if performance was the objective.

Most of it has been from BTC-ETC markets, which shows that support for ETC came mostly from outside the original Ethereum community.

Considering that the DAO hacker has the most to gain from the "classic" chain still having value, there is a significant chance.

The Ethereum crowdsale. I sold a small part of that recently, at ~60x profit.

Bitfinex used to keep BTC in cold storage, but replaced that system with segregated multi-sig (2 of 3) wallets for each user account, backed by BitGo. In that scenario BitGo held one key, and Bitfinex held 2 keys for each account (one onlin

By that logic there should be no Brexit, as less than 50% of the eligible voters voted for it.

Yes, I consider it an _excellent_ participation rate. A 5.5% sample size is orders of magnitude larger than that of nearly any sociological study (usually below 0.01%). Passive users by definition agree to follow the active users' deci

by onestone 10y ago
Which are the users you are referring to? Because all kinds of _actual_ users have shown that a clear majority is in favor of the hard fork: - ETH holders voted on http://carbonvote.com/ with 87% pro-fork. 5.5% of the total

Miners majority decides only with soft forks. A hard fork is a consensus protocol change, the economic majority can split even without the majority of miners (of course it is nice to have the miners on board as well).

Note that Bitcoin Core contributors have been openly hostile to Ethereum in many cases. So this article is a bit like asking Hitler how Hanukkah should be celebrated.
