Disappointing, that you no longer have a vision aligned to the economic system laid out in the whitepaper and original code. This translates to 'I think bitcoin is broken it needs fixing'. Can you spell out for us non coders what exactly you wish to change from the whitepaper design and why this needs fixing?nChain have had no choice, they are thegroup left still defending the original economic code. What's more, they are pushing for a fixed and stable protocol thatcan change. It's the only path where eventually, everyone will agree. All other options lead to constant dev fighting. (or possibly war, if countries take sides) This is basic stuff @theZerg , Bitcoin is an economic incentive system, as such there will always be money making code changes that can divert incentives from neutral, towards the benefit of special interest groups. Blockstream.I'd be interested to know where you stand politically. This statement comes over as full anarchist. If so, how do you resolve this dispute? If I were to relentlessly start calling you a fraud, to the point it was damaging your reputation and causing you financial loss, what other method do you propose for resolution other than the law? In an anarchist world, anyone making damaging statements about a billionaire would probably be silenced painfully and quickly, thankfully we have 1000's of years of legal history where humanity has evolved and created common laws that prevent violence and seek mediation in such situations. I for one am glad we no longer draw pistols as dawn. I suspect if we did, people would think twice before making public defamatory remarks. Now at least youmake damaging remarks about billionaires, but you'd better have solid evidence.This is nonsense, keys are not proof of identity they are only proof of possession. Again law solves this, there are well established ways to prove identity, they rely on using multiple corroborating, independent, sources. As Craig states, he paid for several bitcoin related services with his credit card, the courts will decide if this, and other documents provided are sufficient? Not a key signing, otherwise Satoshi could just forward me the keys, and I could prove it was me. (There are other reasons Core trolls are pushing for a key signing as evidence, the rabbit hole goes v.deep)From someone who understands 'core blockchain philosophy.Bitcoin will hopefully change and simplify laws in the future, but staying within the law now, is the only fully inclusive method for a world currency. Otherwise you are just globally excluding all law abiding citizens and business.Legally there is a gulf of difference between saying "In my opinion, Craig is a fraud" and "Craig is a fraud" one is opinion, the other is presented as fact. The question here concerns is damage, does the statement damage reputation or cause financial loss? If you were Satoshi and you'd suffered years of online hatred and abuse, how would you make your stand? What would be the straw to break your back?
