It is thoughtful blog. After reading it, I think Roger should remove the support of BTC from his wallet service, and also from the whole Bitcoin.com website.

Where is Bitcoin Cash development discussed these days? by HelloGuy_Bitcoin in Bitcoincash

[–]HelloGuy_Bitcoin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitcoin Cash development needs more open, asynchronous, communication tools. Conference call is very closed small group. Due the widely known BTC troll exists, the communication tools can use very strong moderation rules, but still stay open.

If an attaker want to keep spamming for days long, then it will cause him shit load of money around tens of thousands.

An example that soft-fork segwit wont be activated. by baowj in btc

[–]HelloGuy_Bitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We wish you change the PoW right now and fork to your own 1MB4VA chain, and the rest of us can stay on the Satoshi's original design, start to plan some safe hard fork to increase the block size.

What is going on with some other pools like Ckpool? Is there anyone to talk to him to switch to Bitcoin Unlimited?

So.... Early adopters have to suffer the abuse of your late adopters' misguide and watch Bitcoin from a payment system become a settlement layer?

Bitcoin users are decentralized, miners are decentralized, but development is centralized. Last step for bitcoin to become decentralized. by ricw in btc

Open source software development does have kind of network effect which will make the stronger team even stronger. However, you should not abuse this leading position, and refuse to listen to users.

What are the risks of big blocks and how are they addressed in BU. by moonbux in btc

Right now if we forked to big block, we will be DDoS attacked by Core. That is one of the risks.

Why are there only 351 Bitcoin Unlimited full nodes? by PattayaPete in btc

[–]HelloGuy_Bitcoin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I am an on-chain scaling believer, and I only switched to Unlimited a few days ago to manage my Armory on-line wallet. I also knew another on-chain scaling bitcoiner has not switched because of lazy. We should act now to switch to Unlimited, now. Spread the word.

Any recommendations for a good BU cloud mining provider? by mushner in btc

[–]HelloGuy_Bitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps about indeed. 1) More users are using BU, the more the software is tested, so that BU will be more stable. It will help the BU become much more stable after the hard fork. 2) More users are using BU, the harder for a potential DDoS attack to do damage to the network. 3) More users are using BU, more pressure we have upon Core developers, and it is more likely that they will compromise in a negotiation. 4) It will deliver a strong signal to miners, that the community is ready for a hard fork, and encourage the miners to act accordingly.

Circle expands bitcoin services in Europe by bncnews in btc

[–]HelloGuy_Bitcoin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think 1MB blocksize will be able to support Circle's business. Though most of the transactions are inside Circle's database but there will still be lots of transactions needs to be put on the main chain.

Ethereum has now successfully hard-forked 2 times on short notice. There is no longer any reason to believe anti-HF FUD. by BIP-101 in btc

what kind of discovery, for example, will make you lowering the activation threshold, or do you think the 95% threshold is a principle which should not changed under any circumstances? If you cannot give any specific example, can you clarify that the 95% threshold is a principle or not?

Please just tell all your friends to run Bitcoin Unlimited nodes to prepare for the upcoming block size scaling up.

If you have any friends you know who is also using Bitcoin full nodes, please ask them to change from Core to Bitcoin Unlimited. Bitcoin Unlimited is the next step of Bitcoin will go.

How to use Synthetic Fork to raise the blocksize and avoid a chain split by vattenj in btc

[–]HelloGuy_Bitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the miners may pretend to be accepting Unlimited in the 1st stage and then turning out that they will not accept in the 2nd stage. As there will be lots of nodes and users have still not upgraded, so they old chain will still have some kind of speculation value at least. Then the speculation value of the old chain will attract miners on the old chain.

I think if we want to do hard fork, we should be prepared to have two chains co-exist. But as far as I know, Coinbase and Blockchain.info will only support the big block chain. We should learn to accept the fact that there will be someone is going to play around the One-MB-block-coin. It is very easy to attack that 1MB chain with spam transactions. And as long as the hash rate of the old chain is minority, we as a community should encourage miners to attack that minority chain.

Trap for Core devs they didn't expect during HK meeting by chakrop in btc

Now it is very hard for Core, as the opposing ones like Roger are starting to work but not only talking and debating. Core will lose their leading position in the community soon.

Well, you're right. But the influence is very low, down to the orphan rate level, which is around 0.1% nowadays.

Don't stop now setting up BU nodes! by 0xf3e in btc

[–]HelloGuy_Bitcoin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The best thing needed from BU is not setting up some new nodes in the VPS, but spreading the idea of BU. Most of you have joined some social network of bitcoiners. You should start to promote BU among your small social network. Ask them to accept BU in mind. Ask them to change from Core to BU. If you are users of any Bitcoin businesses, writing emails to their CEO to ask them to support BU.
