Congratulations to @michaelfolkson @alexbosworth @NathanBasanese on their winning full node monetization project! https://t.co/iX1v5UL6ck
RT @EFF: BREAKING: House narrowly votes to repeal #BroadbandPrivacy rules, 215-205 https://t.co/0F7psx9P2q
RT @dhimmel: @lopp remember that study you commented on for @RetractionWatch? There’s an unclaimed 0.04 #BTC replication bounty https://t.c…
@f2pool_wangchun There is a slight distinction between signaling and voting. @shaolinfry put it well: https://t.co/WGDqKwzbPQ
@f2pool_wangchun Miners vote on which of many potential valid chain forks is best. Voting on invalid chains is something different…
@TaylorGerring Phases are debatable but I still see this as an early adopter / nerdy enthusiast phase…
@TaylorGerring For mainstream marketing, sure. But these systems aren’t ready for that. I see a need for ideologically motivated builders.
@TaylorGerring Most people don’t care about being self sovereign; they’re free to use systems that better cater to their desires. 🙂
@Airbitz @ryanxcharles Wouldn’t SPV clients only see the most cumulative PoW chain if they connected to an Unlimited node?
@f2pool_wangchun Every Bitcoin participant is a potential adversary to other participants. Should still strive to collaborate: 💪🻠in numbers
@Imskipadinski Right; if BU is that unlikely to fork in 2017 then we can move on and worry about other concerns…
Last chance to submit speaking proposals for the blockchain track at @AllThingsOpen in October. Last year was fun! https://t.co/GxUYhCujGI
@hitchslappy Not that I can think of, unless you’re a huge miner with lots of pools. It’s likely just a public show of support.
@el33th4xor So you’re saying I can make some easy money with these contracts?
Could explain odd behavior during the BU node crash events where hundreds of nodes came back online simultaneously. https://t.co/dDDUuWDxME
I think it’s safe to say that these 150 Bitcoin Unlimited nodes hosted on Hetzner are all run by @BTCPOPCO. https://t.co/0dam6euX5I
On flip side, for miners on a 10% hashpower BTC chain for which price stayed same, their profit would be the same. https://t.co/bFaXdkH2BA
If the Bitfinex chain split contracts are accurate (who knows?) then miners would have a hard time earning a profit on a $200 BU chain.
It may very well be that some day a significant faction of Bitcoin users reject Cypherpunk ideals and split off from the “Cypherpunk chain.”
Good points by all; I think it’s important to teach newcomers about the Cypherpunk ideals that brought us here.… https://t.co/NQAuTYtQQg
