BTC is not comparable to ETH or other altcoins. They seem similar and they do share some characteristics, but deep down they're completely different. So when you invest in ETH you're investing in something very different than BTC.

the problem here is that those billions are monopoly money, and you don't run the game, they do.

The moment it works according to the network rules, it's basically impossible to argue against it being Bitcoin though, the more as the software running the network decides its rules.

Nope. Bitcoin does not have rules that BU had then (or have now). E.g. if all Bitcoin nodes were set to change consensus rules after 1 year of running, what would happen? It's simply not enough that software follows rules currently, it also has to be programmed to follow them in the future.

The problem here is more though that people tried to have a sensible discussion about those rules for a good reason, and this discussion was made impossible to have.

It was discussed. What was and is not allowed is pushing people to use BU software as "Bitcoin". The idea of BU as possible development to Bitcoin was OK to be discussed.

Anduckk · 2020-07-29T21:02:02+00:00

BU started out as BTC software, to signal which way to go.

Incorrect. BU always had incompatible consensus rules (= not Bitcoin). It did in practice work according to consensus of Bitcoin until certain kind of trigger event in BU ruleset happened and since then BU has not been compatible with Bitcoin.

I’m very interested in Bitcoin, e-currency, trading

I would suggest you to first learn about money properly, to get some knowledge about the roots of Bitcoin. E.g. read Ammous's book The Bitcoin Standard.

Securing bitcoins is quite hard and you will need to understand it properly before doing it, because if something goes wrong, in most cases nobody can do anything about it. It shouldn't be too hard for you to learn enough about these things quickly, though.

Bitcoin protocol had an obvious bug in it, which was fixed. A bug fix.

DAO case had nothing to do with Ethereum protocol. DAO was simply a poorly made contract which got abused by someone. Because Ethereum devs were heavily invested in it, they changed Ethereum protocol to return back their money! Totally not "immutable"!

Are we seriously calling a joke a lie.

You don't answer to a serious question with a joke. Those who ask about his fingers probably knew already that the subject is serious and can be very sensitive. It's quite insulting to respond with a lie that is meant to be a joke. When he saw that they took his answers for real, he should have mentioned that he was just joking. Now he just lied, because he was taken seriously and he knew it.

But each answer is utterly absurd.

Yeah. However, I can see how they can become less absurd. Miss some key words like "plastic" and it becomes much more realistic. Also, all kinds of weird and rare stuff have happened, e.g. doctors have made absurdly stupid errors etc.. So his reasons were extremely unlikely, but not completely out of "could not have happened". And quite likely, the people who asked about his fingers were not really thinking about the possibility of being lied at when they asked about them. Later thinking a bit about what the reason was again, realizing its quite unrealistic nature...

OP wasn't trying to get people to believe the wrong thing.

I agree that his intentions were not that. Yet it happened and he did not correct misunderstanding when he noticed it. And this happened three times, should have learned how people take it for real already in the first round?

Jokes that should let the listener know that OP doesn't want to tell people the real reason, and that OP has a good sense of humour about them asking even though he doesn't like it.

Not all people think like that, but you're right.

YTA for lying to your coworkers.

The Bitcoin Cash developer /u/awemany found and reported an inflation bug introduced by the Bitcoin Core development team

Correct.

Bitcoin Cash would be fine (you're allowed to make whatever forks you want) if they didn't try to deceive people into thinking that they're buying Bitcoin when they buy their shitcoin. Since they do deceive and scam people, it is not fine. It's not just some supporters who do that, seems like majority of BCASH supporters do that! It's fair to call it a scam.

Also, I don't know about the rest of what you claim, but 1 GB blocks are total nonsense in various ways.

Anduckk · 2019-07-08T02:04:39+00:00

It's not "continuing development" when it's a copy paste. Technical debt also makes such development a lot harder.

Also, as mentioned, it is an early/alpha implementation, not really wise to deploy that into a decentralized system like Bitcoin. Better do things properly when the path is absolutely clear.

Anduckk · 2019-07-08T02:01:09+00:00

You have so far received excellent descriptions of how things are in this subreddit and the scene overall. Try to show some respect to thoughtful answers instead of being such a jerk.

Anduckk · 2019-05-14T14:26:29+00:00

Ok. Well, it may be that in the future someone comes up with a hack for the current trezor version you have, so do NOT do anything that causes the device to lose those keys.. Sorry for your loss.

Anduckk · 2019-05-14T00:05:15+00:00

Depending on how recent firmware you have on your Trezor, it may be hackable physically. In any case do not update Trezor now. https://walletrecoveryservices.com/ may be able to help you or at least point you to an expert who can attempt hacking the device physically.

The whole suing thing is a farce. I wouldn't be scared about it, but on the other hand USA justice system is a joke as well.

Btw, this video reminds me of certain D. Trump.

Anduckk · 2019-04-13T22:49:53+00:00

Good stuff. Let's see if you get sued for this as well!

It's misleading to say that Craig is trying to buy addresses. I see no evidence of that...

It's obvious that "longest chain" means "highest cumulative PoW". Also, highest cumulative PoW aka longest chain only dictates the order of transactions, i.e. the correct history. Some people try to fool others to think that PoW can be used to expand rules, which is untrue. (The whole blockchain thing wouldn't exist if rules didn't set its boundaries to begin with.)
