That said, I fully side with Nick Szabo in what he said:
“Secret mining advantage is expected. The problem is incentive to oppose incompatible upgrades for secret reasons.”
Just remove the roadblocks that hinder future improvement protocols (covert boost), and demand transparency in issues that revolve around bitcoin governance and the future of the protocol instead of hiding behind secret agendas.
Bitmain is protecting the immutability of the protocol, which is one of the founding principles of bitcoin. You perhaps don’t realize that bitcoin was modeled on Nash’s ideal money concept, which means its protocol must never change.
Any one who tries to change the protocol of bitcoin is the attacker. And they will be bankrupted.
You all have no vote. You think you do. But you don’t. The whales will absolutely destroy any fork that significantly changes the protocol.
I am going to laughing when all you fools finally realize that the bitcoin protocol will never change. Never.
You guys are so in love with democracy. It is pitiful. Just go use fiat then, if you want democracy.
The immutability is the only thing that makes bitcoin different than fiat.
Bitmain is a hero. And should be exalted and praised for all the sneaky and clever things they have done in order to prevent you fools from being able to mutate the protocol.
If Bitmain is already taking advantage of ASICboost covertly for their own mining, and they own the patent in their own jurisdiction (again, set morality/ethics of potential infringement aside), then what would prevent them from continuing to use ASICboost technology overtly and reap the same advantage/benefit they are already? If it’s to protect the public opinion of their company, they need to take their head out of the sand. Everyone knows what they are about.
Because they will perhaps instead release the covert upgrade (perhaps release it anonymously) to all their hardware out in the wild and since those people can’t use the overt version without breaking patent laws in their non-Chinese jurisdictions, then all those miners will be forced to use the covert version and defeat the overt BIP.
Bitmain has checkmated you fools who want to mutate the protocol. They put half the fools on BU which they never intended to actually HF with, and the other half of your fools with Blockstream who they have now checkmated.
Jilian is laughing his head off at you stupid cows, as you pitch fork each other to death and not even have a fucking clue why you are fighting each other. Nothing you were ever fighting for was correct or made any sense whatsoever.
Why do you think he putting short videos of pandas rolling and laughing on his Twitter. It is he way of telling you how much he is laughing at fools who don’t matter.
