For the record, I've never hired a social media company to do any type of astro turfing ever. It seems Alan is incapable of conceiving that maybe there is a large percentage of the community that doesn't agree with Core's road map. Here is the latest lie from Alan:For the record, I've never hired a social media company to do any type of astro turfing ever. It seems Alan is incapable of conceiving that maybe there is a large percentage of the community that doesn't agree with Core's road map.

You said this: "51% from multiple pools and miners from around the world isn't an attack, it's the longest chain."You are confusing the longest chain with the longestchain. If you truly believe that 51% is the longest valid chain, then you are advocating for a 51% attack on the network. There will be a network split due to BU miners producing larger blocks than the estimated 97% of nodes will accept which currently conform to Nakamoto consensus. This is why Alan said you are advocating for an attack on the minority chain (the valid one), with a majority chain which is invalid to the network consensus. Bitcoin was specifically designed to be resistant to a 51% attack, and to say thatThis was the whole reason why Segwit was rolled out as a soft-fork. This way there is no majority/minority chain. It's one chain, and both old nodes and new nodes can operate on it.
