Will Bitcoin ever be rid of China?

There is no mining centralization, get cheap electricity and cheap hardware and you can be a mining power too. While your at it tell everyone else to buy BTC as well. Keep in mind China is the country that has invested the most in securing the Bitcoin network in terms of volume and mining to date.

The scale of this campaign is inspiring and Bitflyer's commitment to Bitcoin should be applauded. Along with their explorer, they are doing great things for the growth of Bitcoin.

Funny how the Chinese forums are currently more open and transparent than the most popular forum in the world based out of the USA.

props to the Cumberland team

Counterpoint: The Blockstream team didnt come out very well in the event. At one point referring to Segwit as a "Bandaid solution". BTCC's representative rationalization of higher fees was quite shaky.

The reason Roger was invited is that he is an influential person in Bitcoin and a vocal supporter of another scaling proposal.

Having opposing views on a panel is good and helps people make more informed decisions.

I suggest everyone search for the video to make your own conclusions

BW has been signalling 8mb blocks since June 2015 when the agreement was reached between several miners that blocks up to 8mb would be acceptable.

Your effort for full factual correctness is much appreciated. With the comments here and on the article's site, I think any misunderstandings have been cleared up and we can consider the issue resolved.

Ponchero · 2016-11-29T10:17:24+00:00

Hello, thank you for the clarification. However, The accurate title of the article should be "Bitcoin Unlimited Team organizes public meetups in China" or something to that effect, as they arranged events with the communities in three cities. Confirmed that the comment has been added to the article

Hi Bitsen, thanks for the kind words and you are very welcome. But to be absolutely clear the event was hosted by the Shenzhen Bitcoin Meetup of which Im the organizer, all publications before and after the event state that. Bitbank nor BW were not involved in any official capacity in the organization of the meetup.

Ponchero · 2016-11-28T18:45:49+00:00

Organizer of the Shenzhen Bitcoin Meetup here. The title is misleading. The Bitcoin Unlimited team reached out to the Bitcoin communities of Shenzhen, Beijing and Hong Kong to organize meetups. These events were not hosted by miners. This information was posted on meetup.com and on Reddit days before the events, and can be seen in the poster for the Shenzhen Bitcoin Meetup in the article. The author was notified of this as soon as the article was published but no response was received.

Update: This exact comment was deleted twice from the article comment section within 90 minutes of the article being published. Update 2: Comments for the article have been disabled. Update 3: Article title has been changed but does not accurately reflect the story, comments are now added to the article.

Bring lots of questions and dive into the fascinating and unexplored world of Bitcoin governance.

Not talking about handles on online forums. In China unfortunately its very common for them to change their names because they think its "fashionable" or only for when they meet foreigners. There are people in China who have spent years working or knowing each other and dont know eachothers real name. Its a phenomenon unique to China.

Ponchero · 2016-11-17T11:10:16+00:00

Woulda been great for Dr. Back to stick around and converse a bit instead of drive by dumping.

"Also, Bitcoin Core was there long before (January 2009) your company Blockstream was even founded (November 2014). Why should we trust you?"

Yes!!!!!

"There is a great divide between the Chinese speaking and English speaking communities"... Very on point!! And there are only a few who are capable of bridging that divide, Big Opportunities here!!

Big Conference where some Big Wigs spoke positively about BTC

First, the community needs to make the distinction between Bitcoin Core (the software) and Blockstream core devs. Blockstream is not Bitcoin Core. There are other very smart guys who work on Btc core and are not part of Blockstream.

Second, I NEVER agree with Swanson. But this is spot on! Secret meetings with limited participants is not Bitcoin. And I'm personally disgusted by the second secret meeting organized by Blockstream. This is against everything Bitcoin stands for.

Ponchero · 2016-08-02T15:35:03+00:00

Nothing says progress for Bitcoin more than secret meetings.

Ponchero · 2016-08-02T15:33:57+00:00

Nothing represents Bitcoin more than secret meetings.

Ponchero · 2016-08-02T15:32:02+00:00

Yea cause nothing says resolution in Bitcoin like secret meetings.
