Amaury Séchet in November:

tbh my worry is that he will not be alone. He is currently on track to take some interesting projects and people with him.
replied 1785d
Some of his current supporters might "betray" him before November. We have already seen that with Jonald Fyookball or George Donnelly.

I think i also (unfairly) suspected Jiang/BTC.top due to passed collusions with ABC, but i think most of the Chinese miners will make a pragmatic business decision, rather than a

2017 proved that miners follow the most valued chain. They can try to attack the chain they don't like to lower its value, but it would be really destructive for their business to do

The only unknown is Jihan Wu (Bitmain/Antpool/BTC.com) who seem to have been supportive of Amaury in the past.

Tobias Ruck is an acquired taste. But I think be.cash is an awesome project. Also, some cool projects like PSF may get caught out in no-mans-land.
replied 1786d
PSF is neutral. Tobias is clever & his be.cash is interesting tech, but DOA as a business.

Also Vin Armani. Hippy-dippy-balony,but he had a presence in the wider agorist/an-cap community.

...but yea, they are competent, but not by any means exceptional and they are bad as team players.
Vin Armani might have a presence among ancaps, but so what?
replied 1785d
Yes, bad team players. One of the interesting things about the cryptospace is that the devs are in charge. Other projects have devs, but the business guys are in charge 🤔
replied 1785d
No one is really in "charge", as everyone is interconnected.
replied 1785d
True. So maybe then it’s that. Outside of crypto, the idea if a ‘rogue dev’ causing such political upheaval would be very rare.
replied 1786d
ABCs quality is ok, but also overrated. Also the whole "best devs"-narrative is bullshit. Just look at their botched & sloppy DAA work while dismissing the clean one first.
replied 1786d
...also (dare i say it) *even* Amaury himself. Despite everything, i have heard it said by more competent people than I that ABC was technically ‘cleaner’ than other BCH node imps.
replied 1786d
Btw. BCHN node is faster than ABC now. Especially for miners.
replied 1786d
I would honestly wish him green pastures and good luck. I just wish he didn’t have to mess everything else up to get there.
