obviously avalanche is a piece in a puzzle; question is: what is the shape of the bigger picture? PoS imo is a good guess when considering amaury's miner distrust & not mining himself
replied 2366d
Why do you keep pushing this FUD? The roadmap is published. That's the big picture.
replied 2366d
You have a roadmap link handy? I'm way behind with the Bitcoin Cash ABC.
replied 2366d
avalanche-idea was supposedly floating around since the fork of BTC, i only first heard about it around JUL2018 (similar timelines with CTOR & merklix). when did you find out about it?
replied 2366d
Isn't the point of Butcoin to not have to trust the miners? There doesn't seem to be any reason to believe PoS is coming to BCH. It really seems like the source was simple FUD.
replied 2366d
making validating authority decentralised makes Bitcoin trustless. the user only has to trust that incentives work on miners.
replied 2366d
amaury's trust-issues seem different; my guess is that he would love to get rid of miners completely
replied 2366d
Why do you think Amaury has some kind of issue with miners? Seems you are basing a lot of ideas on this one idea. So far what he is doing for BCH aligns with what you say it should be.
replied 2366d
it is not just this one point; the whole nov-fork showed how he is afraid to lose control to miners, is willing to collude with exchanges & do dirty stuff to have his vision come true
replied 2366d
Again you have things backward. Amaury didnt do those things, but CSW did. He threatened any exchange or institution doesn't use his software. It likely pushed a lot away from BSV.
replied 2366d
...wasn't amaury basically writing the checkpoint-code himself? he was in on it
replied 2366d
Satoshi wrote the checkpoint code many years ago actually. The checkpoint was a response to the threats made by CSW. Had it been a honest hashwar there would have been less need.
replied 2366d
A threat from a single man forced you to convert into shitcoin. 😂🤣 Nuff said
replied 2365d
A threat from a man that he was capable of committing. The only reason people FUD about the checkpoint is that CSW is mad it was security against an attack he wanted to commit.
replied 2366d
ya, a bit of FUDding & all principles get immediately flushed down the toilet

Pretending the checkpoint was a problem is itself FUD.
replied 2365d
imo the sliding-checkpoints make BCH more fragile and further chip away at miner-control. BCH is on a slippery slope.
replied 2365d
In what way does it take control from miners? It only makes it harder for malicious miners from doing a reorg attack, just as was threatened.
replied 2365d
more FUD i guess. i've got a feeling that in year we are going hear arguments like - why even have BCH-miners waste electricity, they decide nothing, just roll a dice?
replied 2365d
Why do you think anyone from the BCH crowd is against he miners? The miners chose BCH over BSV. They continue to choose BCH over BSV.
replied 2365d
And this fact makes every single #BSV supporter a fucking retard.
replied 2366d
one wouldn't do that with principles that strongly held
replied 2366d
can you link me those threats? i recall that CSW threatened suing exchanges that stole user's BSV coins & refused to return them
replied 2366d
I'm about to leave for work, so can't look up stuff. That said if a central authority can sue, it doesnt look good for BSV.
replied 2366d
anyone can assume the role of the defender & sue & act & threaten & do whatever else; you are welcome to do it for BCH
replied 2366d
Can anyone sue any entity I the name of another entity they have no claim over? I guess you can hope for a judge who has no understanding of the situation.
replied 2366d
1) Hm this is just a guess. I don't think it will end up as you believe but we'll see. One thing I can tell is: IF it goes as you foresee, you will see me on either moving to BSV...
replied 2366d
2) .. or staying on the pre PoS fork (still POW) BCH chain.

Look man, BCH isn't going PoS, and if it does, I'll jump off that bandwagon and switch to either XMR or BSV if there is good support. But until then, BCH is definitely the best choice.

I failed to read your first post, I am in total agreement with you now that I read.
replied 2366d
Good. I can say I completely agree with your above statement too.
