Bitcoinist - Bitstamp To Be Banned By Theymos For Supporting BIP 101

[jdebunt]

The drama between Theymos and anyone who isn’t following his hidden agenda is far from over. Earlier today, popular Bitcoin exchange Bitstamp announced how they will be implementing BIP 101 in a few days. As you would come to expect, it was only a matter of time until Theymos issued a comment on how Bitstamp will be removed from all Bitcoin references, including Reddit and the Bitcoin Wiki.

Posting your own articles in the "News" section, how cool is that?
(A. It's not.)

Hidden agenda?

It is news so i will leave it on this board, if any other mods thinks there is a better place for the thread your welcome to move it.

Censorship at it's finest, i think old theymos has forgotten what bitcoin is all about and is only looking to further his own agenda these days.

@jdebunt, What exactly do you believe the hidden agenda is?

Bitstamp changing their client from Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin XT makes absolutely no difference. Only bitcoin miners can vote for BIP 101.

The mining pools have made it very clear with their coinbase votes that they do not care for BIP 101 at all. Out of the last 1000 blocks mined only one was found using Bitcoin XT.

Bitcoin XT will not be adopted. 75% of bitcoin miners would have to change from Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin XT and the possibility of that happening is nil.

Totally bro, BitcoinXT will not happen!

Miners voting for BIP100 (https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC) and we @BlockStream "working hard" to code BIP100 for Core (the only True to God Bitcoin Code Implementation). BIP100 should be ready in a year or two or maybe never.

Besides, I think BlockStream showed the Wrath of God to XT followers here https://www.facebook.com/MiningBitcoinC ... 8904801197 and here https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinxt/comm ... _xt_nodes/

With our massive power (and our PR leader Theymos) it would be silly for miners to support BIP101!

There are many member here who could go into more detail for you and probably even correct me on this because I am far from an expert but I'll give it a go.

My understanding is that a "coinbase vote" is a vote from the miners on which BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) they would like implemented, this current vote is regarding the block size limit.
I think they call it a "coinbase vote" because it is the first input of the first transaction into a new block. (Please correct me if wrong)

If you ever need a bitcoin question answered your first point of call should always be bitcoin wiki, easy if your already on this forum, it's still a work in progress and probably always will be as bitcoin is always changing.
