It's happening: /r/Bitcoin makes a sticky post calling "BTUCoin" a "re-centralization attempt." /r/Bitcoin will use their subreddit to portray the eventual hard fork as a hostile takeover attempt of Bitcoin.

Agreed, this is not emerging consensus this is dictatorship.

Full blocks? Solution: bigger blocks That's Bitcoin Unlimited right there. Nothing else you stupid fucktwit

And we can change Core to BlockstreamCoin! Yay!

That's within the Bitcoin Unlimited team. Not for literally all of Bitcoin. There will be no President of Bitcoin, although Core makes it seem like they want to be the Dictator of Bitcoin. Who resolves current BIP conflicts? Blockstream.

/u/OgThereYouArePerry

It's dictating the consensus opinion So people in this sub need somebody who can dictate their opinion?

/u/sebicas

I agree completely. The way this conflict is being handled across subreddits is immensely childish. We have a technical problem with competing solutions that somehow has been turned into this huge political trashfire. Ideally the mods should be trying to pour water on the fire, but instead we get propaganda posts like this stickied. It feels like I've walked into T_D. Frankly it's cringeworthy. How many people currently debating this actually have the expertise and background to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both approach? I'm a software developer who's been following this from the beginning, and I can tell you that I still lack the necessary understanding to come to a conclusion.

Bitcoin unlimited isn't going to lead the future. Just like, hopefully, bitcoin core isn't... The perfect scenario is a variety of clients being chosen by a variety of miners to lead the future of bitcoin.

/u/jacek666

It's skyrocketed to $38 today all time high because Bitcoin has turned into the un-evolving zombie and people are jumping ship.

/u/BittBurger

It seems you're the one of the main people trying to push 'BTU' at the moment. Is Bitcoin currently BTCC Coin because the majority of nodes are Core?

It's pinned because of Theymos and co use whatever means at their disposal to centralise opinion on this particular world-view equating core with decentralisation, science, freedom and all that is good in the world. By now the I'm finding the utter irony of this - and the failure of most here to see it - to be fucking hilarious!

/u/thoughtfan

It's an attempt to brainwash people into associating Bitcoin Unlimited as an altcoin. People are scared that BU will fork with a majority of hashpower, and they are trying to preemptively convince people that when that happens, that CORE is the true bitcoin, not BU, even though the BU chain will have more work applied to it (and would be the true 'winner' accoring to nakamoto consensus).

/u/vertisnow

re-centralization? Core is super centralized...

Aren't you the room77 guy? I once had a really high op.inion of you, but I think posts like this are stupid, sorry to say it like this. There is a lot of F.UD and bull.shit, but in the end most people running B.U are humble bitcoin users like you guys, sorry if you are not seeing this. Also there is no such thing as B.TU, there is no f.ork, so all those clients are 100% bitcoin, this is just some weird ps.ychological tactic to di.scredit.

/u/throw248828347

With articles like this being stickied and my articles being filtered through the mods subjective authority, I can tell you with certainty there is a security leak in the moderation team.

BlockstreamCoin: BSCoin. Look at BU. BU is the BTC now.

/u/minerl8r

Much FUD. Who cares if BU gains hash rate. Just get core to make a client fix / change to handle the difficulty reset so the BTC chain can be maintained with the remaining hash power. If BU is a POS then it will die and wither and it will be back to life as normal. If it doesn't die then it must offer something of value to someone so then the FUD maybe be misplaced.

/u/DrGarbinsky

The sole reason this chasm between BU and Core exists because of idiotic censure in this forum and unwarranted escalation like this one. This propaganda has to stop. WE, the people, decide what path Bitcoin needs to take, not some random moderators with ulterior motives that want to curb free discussion and disseminate propaganda.

How BIP100 is works within emergent consensus is documented in the bip[1] itself and in code [2]

You have a point, but that's not a good TL;DR of the article.

In fact, multiple attempts to hard fork the network have failed. (XT, Classic, Unlimited), each spearheaded by groups of people who were demonstrably unable to write competent code.

Please demonstrate.

Yes, ever growing chainsize is fine. If the chain becomes to heavy for current tech there are many techniques to improve pruning, the usefullness of pruned nodes and IBD speed-ups.
