Hello txstreet.com peeps!

That's basically what happens, right? It's just that nobody follows the old chain. Anyone can if they want, but the implications are very heavy.

Improvements and additions don’t make it less usable as Cash. I understand someone might prefer other upgrades, but “breaking the protocol” is a big stretch.
replied 507d
There's no qualitative difference there right? You have a proposal and you would like people to follow it. How do you convince others in a voluntary permissionless network to follow?
replied 508d
Rest of the electronic cash network however wants certain changes.

The only way to prevent that I guess, is to run one's own social platform blockchain where you make all the rules.

Making claims that BCH protocol broke in some ways, in vague terms, without telling what broke ...

Where are detailed reports about broken protocol features when they broke for you?
replied 508d
You seriously cannot not know these things.

Which makes me question why you're regurgitating false information about BCH, CHIPs etc.

Instead of participating in the CHIP development.
replied 508d
Most CHIPs don't affect the ordinary end user at all.

BCH adds features, tries not to remove.

Network upgrades are on 12 month cycle.

Only BCHN client has an expiry feature.

> CHIPs change details about BCH that have to be implemented to validate the chain.

Not all CHIPs affect all users.

> Unmaintained software stops working every 6 months.

No.
replied 508d
SLP tokens continue to work, if you've already implemented them.

Nothing broken. Nothing lost.

Disapproving with Monero devs is a hard fork.

The reality doesn't change much.

Your mining XMR generates money.
XMR buys voting influence for dev proposals.
replied 507d
Fact of life is that BCH has to compete with other forms of money.
It's success depends on adaptation and evolving in a way that attracts people, not deters them.
Time will tell.
replied 508d
The CHIP process is literally there to ensure that huge sweeping changes are NOT made in a vacuum without ppl being able to participate.

Your excuse?
replied 507d
There are too many people who don't have Bitcoin Cash's best interests at heart, or maybe they do but they lack real understanding which the CHIP process can bring. Nobody = island.
replied 507d
It's a good feature of the CHIP process that it prevents random people from disrupting the smooth functioning of the network.
replied 507d
Anybody can raise a CHIP.

It doesn't require a politician or a special power. Just a willingness to learn, engage, build, and canvass other users in the network. Reality of Bitcoin...
replied 507d
See here for an explanation about the CHIP process which you are so confused about.

replied 508d
Unless you wish to accept such native tokens, you don't need to validate them (as an application building on top of Bitcoin Cash).

It's an incorrect argument you're making here.
replied 508d
SLP might work fine for Jason & his site, but other people have raised the problems with them and these problems are well understood by now. BCH needs native tokens to fly.
replied 507d
Someone else already mentioned to you, that you can submit a CHIP to change to entire CHIP process (maybe even abolish it if that's what people want to support)

¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
replied 507d
Can you name a right of yours affecting your use of Bitcoin Cash that is somehow under threat?
