I just wanted to share a long-time non-technical Bitcoiner's opinion piece. It's not my opinion represented by the article.

Is the Bitcoin Civil War Over? Here’s How I’m Thinking About Bitcoin Cash Michael Krieger | Posted Friday Jul 28, 2017 at 12:45 pm Before I get going, let me start out with the usual disclaimer. I’m not a Bitcoin expert, nor do I claim to be. I love people who live and breathe Bitcoin every day, an...

Free market competition of ideas. Nuff said.

patrick.miller

... we will stick by it so long as it doesn't become a suicide pact for Bitcoin. Cool, thanks for the update. I don't see why there would be any suicide pact. Bitcoin Cash is competition. Competition is important in free market of ideas. I'm interested in seeing how Bitcoin Cash develops alternativ...

The Mt. Gox story is sooo crazy. Books will be written, movies will be made. Or at least they should.

patrick.miller

There is no doubt at this time that BIP9 relying SOLELY on miners to activate BIP141 was a mistake. In the future, I suspect a combination of MASF and UASF will be necessary to overcome the challenges related to upgrading and gaining consensus. The BCC crowd voluntarily jumped ship, and too early in...

If satoshi was correct, hash power will never run it. Serious question for you: If Satoshi is wrong in this case (I'm not implying he would be right or wrong), then what does that mean for your nostalgic view of Satoshi? It would mean that despite satoshi's best efforts, a majority of miners were c...

patrick.miller

I have absolutely no concerns about SegWit causing a problem for immutability. I am not sure what you even mean by this. Anyways, I am looking forward to making SegWit transactions on Bitcoin's mainnet, and testing new address formats such as BIP173. http://bitcoin.sipa.be/bech32/demo/demo.html seg...

Like everyone but the paid trolls

^^ Just curious, who are these paid trolls you are referring to?

I'm tired of the fighting.
I look forward to the market solving this

^^ I agree 100% with you Roger.

Things aren't over yet. UASF may still happen but probably least likely. Segwit2x is going to happen but the 2x part will be fought hard and may not happen. UAHF (Bitcoin ABC) looks like it happening anyways on Aug 1st. Plus we still have ongoing alternative clients like BU and Classic. While thing...

I applaud the miners. Now we are achieving real consensus and it's encouraging. While the future is still uncertain as to the best method of gaining social consensus, we now know the stakes and value of coming together. BTC To the moon. If your talking about a user activated segwit soft fork?, you ...

So far this is the only website currently showing BIP91 statistics: https://www.xbt.eu/

The release builds will be added throughout the day: https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin/releases/tag/v1.14.4

patrick.miller

You can't always trust random news sites. Especially when they are news posts containing an opinion on anything that could affect the price, stability, or politics of any cryptocurrency.

Yup, turns out it was FUD.

ViaBTC confirmed they WILL be signalling BIP91

patrick.miller

I found that exact addres in my Armory: "164pmguHAurWVADRRTQiWPQXeTchmz7sSE" but it says Balance 0.00 on that addres, what the hell? Is there something more I have to do to see the balance ???? Is your Armory wallet synced with the network correctly? You should be able to export your private key fr...

There appears to be an unsubstantiated article (no quotes or links) that ViaBTC is planning to break the NYA, despite their pledge to support the SegWit2x working group (btc1): http://www.trustnodes.com/2017/07/16/viabtc-will-support-bitcoinabc I'm a little confused what the plan for the Bitcoin.com...

patrick.miller

It looks like SegWit will activate via BIP91 before BIP148 would go into effect, and thus avoid a chain split. That's the plan. How can you say that? It's my understanding that a proposal for changes to the blockchain can be made but the nodes need to agree to adopt the changes. If 100% don't adopt...

patrick.miller

At this point, I honestly think both sides are extremely passionate and protective of Bitcoin and just have a fundamental disagreement about what should be the priority. The fact that we have such diametrically opposed groups in Bitcoin is actually probably a blessing. This should act as a counterba...

patrick.miller

July 21 will be presented to the software SegWit2x, then until the end of the month will check how many miners working on the new system. I f their share is more than 80%, it signals the avoidance of a split in the community , but if not - the tension will only increase.In this case Bitcoin, most l...

I can't believe I'm going around in circles. I have my wallet, it is of no help, I try to buy a bitcoin and the purchase page wants my bitcoin address and I don't have one! I'm missing something. been going around in circles all afternoon, hit roadblocks no matter which way I turn. I'm NOT STUPID b...

Yes, terrorists use cryptocurrency, because there are certain benefits, such as the impossibility of tracking all transactions. However, they also use regular currency... As for me, the problem isn't in the cryptocurrency, but in the existence of terrorists. Can we stop them? I don't think so. I th...

Nice Work! Hi Andreas, I enjoyed both of your Joe Rogan podcasts and thought to let you know I made a new Cryptocurrency art innovation. The site went online yesterday. https://www.artforcrypto.com/ Would love to get your feedback on it. Best, Vesa Ps. The work I attached is about the combination of...

Entertaining but a little extreme.

Let's hope Jeff Garzik can provide the much needed middle ground to heal the community.

patrick.miller

Yes, I agree with your post, people are saying that bitcoin price will go up and it can go 5000$ till end of this year but now bitcoin pricing day by day and I am afraid that people will loose their money quickly. https://worldcore.eu/blog/getting-debit-card-online/ I think the biggest risk of losi...

patrick.miller

The challenge is for these cryptocurrencies to survive and stay decentralized. Ethereum is very inefficient as a "decentralized computer". It's probably better for small contracts and tokens. ETC is really popular in China, so I think ETC is more of a competitor to ETH than BTC.

patrick.miller

I think a split of the blockchain may happen. I'm not sure if the system will handle all implications, but it's definitely going to showcase how stable the bitcoin ecosystem is. I don't think there will be a chain split. I think that btc1 will activate SegWit on BIP91 and then we'll have a hardfork...

patrick.miller

As a long-time bitcoiner myself, I'm honestly sick of both sides of this debate. I don't like BU's code and I don't like Core's attitude. Core should have scheduled a hard-fork to activate SegWit and increase the blocksize exactly as the Hong Kong agreement was supposed to be. BU (and XT and Classic...

patrick.miller

I literally can't even this thread. It's unpossible.

Maybe if I keep posting, all the shills will stay here instead of posting elsewhere on the forums.

Roger! I'm doing this for YOU!

LOL this shit cracks me up.
