Sat Aug 05 13:57:32 UTC 2017 <John> but under "classic" bitcoin, if 51% of the miners were compromised, the best they could do is double-spend a transaction
Sat Aug 05 13:53:13 UTC 2017 <John> Hahah, well i'm a Brit, so i don't trust them either :P But i was under the impression that most miners are Chinese as electricity is cheaper there
Sat Aug 05 13:42:59 UTC 2017 <John> can't it be proven with a private-key signed thing :P
Sat Aug 05 13:37:52 UTC 2017 <pankkake> given that it's just a new transaction format that you don't even have have to use, vulnerabilities are unlikely to lead to mass adoption of a coin that has diverged before the vulnerability reveal
Sat Aug 05 13:37:01 UTC 2017 <John> They make 3 points: Cartels could non-transparently form a cartel and steal money but everyone would know it
Sat Aug 05 13:35:24 UTC 2017 <John> but what i'm worried about here is a deliberate attempt to say they're anti-segwit, they'll adopt it anyway, anonymously release a security issue with Segwit, tell everyone they're moving back to classic bitcoin
Sat Aug 05 13:34:32 UTC 2017 <John> right, but that's slightly different - that's an alternative technology, with the lightning network or whatever. It makes sense to do a bit of mining, get a few coins, just encase
Sat Aug 05 13:33:42 UTC 2017 <pankkake> when SHA256 altcoins were still a thing, miners were already hoping on the most profitable coin and that wasn't the end of the world, anyway
Sat Aug 05 13:33:41 UTC 2017 <kakobrekla> cake is a lie
Sat Aug 05 13:33:29 UTC 2017 <pankkake> that would be a lie
Sat Aug 05 13:32:03 UTC 2017 <John> Anywhoo, if i was a smart Chinese miner, with a bunch of buddies who make up say 20% of the mining pool
Sat Aug 05 13:29:55 UTC 2017 <John> However, i think there might be a different stratagy here. Right now, if you swap your BTC for BTH, you get 10x the number of BTH
Sat Aug 05 13:24:12 UTC 2017 <John> And for your interest, i believe that there's a possibility that the values of BTC and BCH will swap over the next month, but it's only a (conspiracy) theory
Sat Aug 05 13:23:08 UTC 2017 <John> Is there a chan for people who don't like segwit?
Sat Aug 05 13:22:07 UTC 2017 <John> I'm looking for anyone - anyone - who doesn't think segwit is a good idea, so i can ask them why
Sat Aug 05 12:46:57 UTC 2017 <marginal_> u n s t o p p a b l e
Sat Aug 05 00:13:37 UTC 2017 <kakobrekla> for some reason they dont give a fuck apparently
