Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP.

I suppose you did not a reality check, discovering that that was only another stalling technique, and Core has decided to not fork, ever.

Core put forward BIP103, however the community rejected it by continuing the campaign for BIP101 or BIP109, which left the Core developers no choice but to rally behind the existing 1MB rule, in order to defeat the "attack". The attempts at compromise unfortunately got nowehere. Large block supporters never even put a counteroffer forward.

Sometimes it's hard not to engage. It's just super hilarious that practically every single thing he says is some kind of pedantic lecture as though he's talking to children. I sincerely hope that's deliberate in order to get a rise out of people, because while that's not exactly good, the alternative explanation is even more disturbing.

Is there anything J1000 can't teach us? Since he has considered every scenario and knows everything of relevance - if we'd only listen.

At this point you're simply making up big, fat lies.

Concern trolling has to be plausible, not completely deniable by anyone with a memory.

Hope that @Zangelbert Bingledack is fine. BU block count passing 10% of the last 1000. Thought he might have enjoyed a ringside seat for this...

No, core put out bip103 as a completely laughable proposal, expressly to avoid any possible compromise and continue with their stalling.

Short question to the BU guys:
There was the call to translate the website to different languages (which is a good idea imho, a lot of people still read Bitcoin stuff in their native language), is there a coordination which languages are already done/being worked on?

Another idea: Imho it would be wise to have the tutorials/manuals about how to set up a node and use the json RPC on the website as well. As of today you can only get the info at bitcoin.org afaik. And I have seen a lot of new users to Bitcoin, who want to "help the ecosystem" to just run Bitcoin core because that's still the "current client" for them. Imho it is good to take away the advantages of bitcoin core in the "information warfare" from them. Make it easier for people to get into Bitcoin without getting in touch with core.

@all

I've been too busy with family and friends visiting recently to comment usefully, but rest assured I am watching from the sidelines with great, but cautious, satisfaction as many ideas hatched in this very thread are vindicated, the spilt memes finally seaping into the community consciousness, the years of scattered seeds finally sprouting and growing into powerful stalks and vines that we presently see burrowing into the ivory edifices of central control and dogma to rend them from within as we hear the faint sound of some of their inhabitants making their escape.

So given Olivier Janssens posted a 10BTC reward, I thought it might be worthwhile to try to make a couple transaction rate extrapolations.

Here is my attempt:

Ubuntu Repository for Bitcoin Unlimited:

https://np.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/57rs49/official_bitcoin_unlimited_ubuntu_repository/

https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin-unlimited/+archive/ubuntu/bu-ppa
https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin-unlimited/+archive/ubuntu/bu-ppa-nightly

2 LTS distros supported currently, trusty and xenial (precise is a lost cause).

4 archs: i386, amd64, armhf, arm64

feed backs appreciated!

 

[Dusty]

I would love a repository for stable version of Debian

 

[albin]

So now the small block position is that 1MB is really averaging more like 6+ tps?

Isn't that like the worst possible scenario for segwit as a capacity bump, to have predominantly small p2pkh tx's?

Here is my attempt:

I now made a full write up including all my (updated) graphs. Stole a couple of ideas from you, Peter ...

@awemany
Yes, but I don't think many know. Even @theZerg worried that Rogers event could collide with mine, he he. I met Roger Ver in Milan thursday, two days before the event.

He liked the idea, and when I told him I tried to arrange it without a budget, he just said he would pay. What a man!

I had to borrow @theZerg's laptop to design the paper invitations, and @sickpig helped me cutting them out with scissors in my hotel room over a beer

now you can tell your grandchildren the story how a few men with scissors once saved the world .

Haha, I like that the ViaBTC article suggests a 75% threshold with 1 month prep period after that. Reminds me of something.

Dutch, Swedish, Chinese, Italian and Russian translations are all being worked on at the moment.

Good points, will see what can be done on this...

I could do a German translation if nobody else is crazy for doing that.

No idea, under what licence the wiki etc. are. Maybe they could be copied as a first step?

I can translate to Norwegian. How/where do I start?

If I'm not mistaken you should clone https://github.com/BitcoinUnlimited/BitcoinUnlimitedWeb and translate the fields in /src/locales/en.json into a file /src/locales/no.json (I guess) and submit a pull request for the finished translation.

Change "releases": "Experimental Releases" to "releases": "Smørebrød" or whatever it's called.
