LegendaryActivity: 2380Merit: 1014 Are Bitcoin Classic Contributors Stoned on LSD and Hash? January 20, 2016, 04:15:01 PM #1 Bitcoin Classics Magical Mystery Tour







Michael Toomim, a main proponent of Bitcoin Classic, and brother of main developer, recently made enlightening comments in a Slack developer channel dedicated to Bitcoin Core.



Toomim has been associated closely with the newest Bitcoin client purporting to be the solution Bitcoin needs in order to scale amid its block size debate.



The comments were verified as vintage Toomim numerous times by people in the chat at the time and by Bitcoinist during a chat with a member who partook in a Google Hangout with Toomim. Toomim waxed transparently about his numerous beliefs.



In the chat Sunday night, Toomim, who participates in Bitcoin-related Github conversations, discussed his ideas for the future of Bitcoin, while apparently, at least high on marijuana, and possibly on LSD.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used. tised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Hey, I've got an idea. Since 2MB blocks sound reasonable, let's attack people instead of ideas. Keep it up! No one will see through that.



Bitcoin Classic Scary! Bad! Hard fork! Oh noes!



So I have a question Carnth (I know you've been around a while). I reserve the right to create a new thread to ask this question.



I am thinking more and more based on what I'm reading and how the core team is reacting that there will be a split in algo's. Bitcointalk, /r/bitcoin, icebreaker/luke-jr/thermos crowd will go with a GPU algo. Everyone else splits to bitcoin-classic.



When this happens - which fork wins, does it all die or do they both survive?

If someone wants to change the PoW function on the minority chain, then yes, it'll probably survive as an altcoin. However, this scorched earth plan would only be used in the most dire of situations which a 1MB->2MB HF certainly doesn't qualify for.



Also, gmaxwell should have been more careful when answering someone's questions yesterday about possibly changing the PoW algo. None of the core devs have any intention of doing this, save Luke-jr who doesn't care about being off on his own chain.

It's looking more and more to me like core devs are making a statement that if bitcoin-classic happens they will fork and continue to support an alternate chain with an alternate hashing algo. I thought this was insane and trolling. But it keeps popping up.
