@twobitidiot Looks like you’re missing a headshot for @jcp. Might I suggest his Twitter photo? pic.twitter.com/lrNNguItS6
@Royal_Arse @googlechrome @brave Nothing major; if you are a power user w/a ton of browser plugins, you might miss some features.

@CharlieShrem It’s interesting to see traditional politicking being (futilely?) injected into a system that has no central power structure.
RT @Truthcoin: New blog post: “Two Types of Blockspace Demand” https://t.co/Gfgm1K2HFe
@MKjrstad Great, then everyone will get what they want! :-)
@MKjrstad Sure, and unless you’re transacting via your own full node, you’re letting someone else decide the rules… https://t.co/qMVxpdPmHQ
3) It’s a simple fact that the only counter to a malevolent soft fork is a hard fork; this means node operators must remain vigilant.
2) If you’re a full node operator, one of your duties is to stay up to date w/ ecosystem developments. Applies to both hard & soft forks.
1) Good point that merits clarification. IMO, “people” don’t matter WRT consensus debates. Only full nodes matter. https://t.co/uqhooccP9e
@MKjrstad /Theoretically/ soft forks can do so. SegWit is certainly not being implemented in secret.
@seweso To be clear, my “argument” is that different people have different views of how Bitcoin should be used. We should be open-minded.
@MKjrstad The difference, of course, being that you’re creating new rules that every user must explicitly accept (or create a new network.)
7) Some people don’t want SegWit; they need not stand in the way of those who want to build upon it. SegWit will bring more value to Bitcoin
6) Now SegWit is a controversial feature proposed by @pwuille, who has spent years trying to solve txn malleability. https://t.co/1DWB4CKaSK
5) Today over a million transactions per year use OP_RETURN functionality to anchor into Bitcoin’s blockchain. https://t.co/QaKFcIYJ72
4) In 2014, OP_RETURN was a controversial feature released as a “less bad†method for storing data in the blockchai… https://t.co/eqAY0JtT0j
3) P2SH is now used to secure $1B+ of value & is a building block for more advanced features such as payment channels & @lightning network.
2) In 2012, P2SH was a controversial feature proposed by @gavinandresen. Took a month to activate w/a 55% threshold. https://t.co/B9uZo1IDWB
1) Segregated Witness is shaping up to be a “controversial” feature for the Bitcoin protocol. Let’s talk about controversial features…
@gavinandresen I’d be interested to know if you see any parallels between the saga of P2SH and that of Segregated Witness.
@TuurDemeester @LukeDashjr Sooooo when Litecoin activates SegWit and Bitcoin doesn’t, is it bringing a major innovation? 🤔
