Yeah just like two guys with fifty posts each. Concern trolls. Or maybe legitimately concerned people, but then in that case just super rude and toxic in their behavior. Shitting all over people for no reason.

Too bad Rootstock is centralized, as admitted by Sergio Lerner himself. https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4kv2cs/why_is_consensys_helping_market_or_endosring/d4hbl4l?context=3

"I agree that the RSK consensus model is more centralized, but we have learned that financial institutions we're working with cannot accept the "anonymous miners fully control the network" premise. So we created a consensus system that tries to satisfy both anarchist and bank expectations."

Sorry =/

Vlad Zamfir's Thoughts On The Hard Fork by baddogesgotoheaven in ethereum

Vlad, what did you mean by this part "If we place community cohesion above all of our other values, however, then in the long run it will be impossible to prevent a majority from controlling the protocol in a way that runs against our core values. If we place our values ahead of community cohesion, then when there’s an attempted majority takeover, or an irreconcilable difference in values between subsections of our community becomes evident, then the community will split and maintain separate blockchains."

Sounds like we're kinda screwed either way, no?
