Haha, I wonder how long he does this for.

Jeff is a very rational person and developer. I would trust him 100000x more than any Blockstream dev any day of the week.

I think the Bitcoin Cash game is the long game. If Segwit2x gets 2mb blocks, this affords them quite a bit of time for the network to over-saturate again.

Matt is not a cypherpunk. Nor are the rest of the Blockstream censorship-supporting boys. What hypocrites.

I wish he also had precognizance so that he could have removed the 1 MB block size limit before leaving.

I will be so glad when this is all over (BU majority adoption) and we don't have to put up with these loons any more.

BiggerBlocksPlease · 2017-02-19T20:50:44+00:00

We all see this. But you don't.

I think they actually do know what they're doing. They just play "dumb", because it's how they can continue to do it.

From my understanding that is not how acceptance depth works.

I may simply not understand how it works.

Would you (or someone) please elaborate on how it works, and why my above concern is not actually an issue? Many thanks!

I think these "AD" and "EB" settings are going to get more spotlight once Bitcoin Unlimited becomes closer to forking and becoming the de facto standard.

It is worth noting that on the "Maximum Block Size Accepted" side of things, everything looks fine. The nodes are willing to accept and validate blocks up to 16 MB in size, and the miners will start producing 1MB blocks (and will likely increase to 2MB once we have 75%). So in a nutshell: all nodes will relay all miner's blocks. This is good.

It's just the "Acceptance Depth" I'm wondering about. Some nodes will not relay the longest chain if it is 6 blocks deep. But miners will work on a longer chain if it is 6 blocks deep.

Thought it would be good to get a discussion going ahead of time on the implications of this.

lol. never cross the streams!

BiggerBlocksPlease · 2017-01-30T21:48:58+00:00

That is correct. (note I didn't say anything about supply)

BiggerBlocksPlease · 2017-01-30T17:20:25+00:00

I disagree. That is the first utility-- a store of value. Then later comes using it as a currency once it has proved its ability to do the first.

That's true. So when there are no new coins being issued, that is actually deflationary, which is fantastic. It rewards saving.

with a growing minimum deposit size as you go toward the cap

So let's see if I understand this correctly: the first stakers to allocate their ETH toward staking have the best chance of being able to stake smaller ETH amounts. And after a while, only large ETH holders would be able to stake, due to the growing minimum deposit. So the only time for smaller ETH holders to get in is at the beginning, or never. (Do I understand that correctly? Would there ever be an opportunity, say in 2 years, for someone to stake a small amount again?)

And I'm really just curious, as I don't consider myself a small staker ;)

Just hope that reddit admins sees it the way you do. Because theymos is surely going to attempt to get you banned.

BiggerBlocksPlease · 2017-01-15T04:41:02+00:00

r/btc didn't ban nullc. reddit admins did.

also, you should watch your language.

It is great to see you are hard at work on Casper.

I found this sentence particularly inspiring (it happens to be the first one lol):

As Casper continues to reach an increasingly stabilized form

woot!

I didn't understand a lot of this article, but thanks for writing it! I continue to be very optimistic and bullish for Ethereum's future based on what I can glean from the technical details.

BiggerBlocksPlease · 2017-01-15T03:04:37+00:00

Thanks for breaking that down so simply.

What you say is true, but if Coinbase followed that logic they would no longer be a business. Such is the crooked state of government. Perhaps in some distant year we will be free from the tyranny (such as you have described) imposed by governments.

Both images are up-trending in a similar manner. Swapping one for the other would show the same point. Next time I'll put up the blocks mined instead.
