En otros foros, en forobits por ejemplo, se han creado otro hilo y se discute ahi de bch. Es tan difícil de entender? Como va a ser este hilo el de bch si llevamos 13 volúmenes que ni siquiera existía BCH?
Es como si en el hilo de la plata se pusieran ha hablar de una plata que han creado cambiando un proton, que se llama platata y que dicen que es la verdadera plata. No ves lo absurdo de lo que planteáis?
Claro que manipulan. El miedo lleva a hacer ese tipo de cosas, quieren mantenerse en su burbuja, donde solo se habla de lo que ellos quieren y como a ellos les gusta. Cualquier nota discordante que les estropee su narrativa monotónica les trastorna enormemente, y si ya se hace de forma razonada y con fundamentos sólidos, directamente te insultan.
Es exactamente lo mismo que pasa en r/Bitcoin, con la diferencia de que allí tienen el control y pueden censurar, y aquí solo les queda tragar bilis, y seguir insultando 😀
Lo vuelvo a pegar para ver si así alguno abre los ojos. Esta es toda la verdad detrás de Bitcoin Core, y todavía no he visto salir a ninguno de sus defensores en este hilo a refutarlo:

People should get the full story of r/bitcoin because it is probably one of the strangest of all reddit subs.
r/bitcoin, the main sub for the bitcoin community is held and run by a person who goes by the pseudonym u/theymos. Theymos not only controls r/bitcoin, but also bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.com. These are top three communication channels for the bitcoin community, all controlled by just one person.
For most of bitcoin's history this did not create a problem (at least not an obvious one anyway) until around mid 2015. This peine to be around the time a new player appeared on the scene, a for-profit company called Blockstream. Blockstream was made up of/hired many (but not all) of the main bitcoin developers. (To be clear, Blockstream was founded before mid 2015 but did not become publicly active until then). A lot of people, including myself, tried to point out there we're some very serious potential conflicts of interest that could arise when one single company controls most of the main developers for the biggest decentralised and distributed cryptocurrency. There were a lot of unknowns but people seemed to give them the benefit of the doubt because they were apparently about to release some new software called "sidechains" that could offer some benefits to the network.
Not long after Blockstream came on the scene the issue of bitcoin's scalability once again came to forefront of the community. This issue came within the community a number of times since bitcoins inception. Bitcoin, as dictated in the code, cannot handle any more than around 3 transactions per second at the moment. To put that in perspective Paypal handles around 15 transactions per second on average and VISA handles something like 2000 transactions per second. The discussion in the community has been around how best to allow bitcoin to scale to allow a higher number of transactions in a given amount of time. I suggest that if anyone is interested in learning more about this problem from a technical angle, they go to r/btc and do a search. It's a complex issue but for many who have trinc bitcoin for many years, the possible solutions seem relatively obvious. Essentially, currently the limit is put in place in just a few lines of code. This was not originally present when bitcoin was first released. It was in fact put in place afterwards as a measure to stop a bloating attack on the network. Because all bitcoin transactions have to be stored forever on the bitcoin network, someone could theoretically simply transmit a large number of transactions which would have to be stored by the entire network forever. When bitcoin was released, transactions were actually for free as the only people running the network were enthusiasts. In fact a single bitcoin did not even have any specific value so it would be impossible set a fee value. This meant that a malicious person could make the size of the bitcoin ledger grow very rapidly without much/any cost which would stop people from wanting to join the network due to the resource requirements needed to store it, which at the time would have been for very little gain.
Towards the end of the summer last year, this bitcoin scaling debate surfaced again as it was becoming clear that the transaction limit for bitcoin was semi regularly being reached and that it would not be long until it would be regularly hit and the network would become congested. This was a very serious issue for a currency. Bitcoin had made pogre over the years to the point of retailers starting to offer it as a payment option. Bitcoin companies like, Microsoft, Paypal, Steam and many more had began to adopt it. If the transaction limit would be constantly maxed out, the network would become unreliable and slow for users. Users and businesses would not be able to make a reliable estimate when their transaction would be confirmed by the network.
Users, developers and businesses (which at the time was pretty much the only real bitcoin subreddit) started to discuss how we should solve the problem r/bitcoin. There was significant support from the users and businesses behind a simple solution put forward by the developer Gavin Andreesen. Gavin was the lead developer after Satoshi Nakamoto left bitcoin and he left it in his hands. Gavin initially proposed a very simple solution of increasing the limit which was to change the few lines of code to increase the maximum number of transactions that are allowed. For most of bitcoin's history the transaction limit had been set far far higher than the number of transactions that could potentially happen on the network. The concept of increasing the limit one time was based on the fact that history had proven that no issue had been cause by this in the past.
A certain group of bitcoin developers decided that increasing the limit by this amount was too much and that it was dangerous. They said that the increased use of resources that the network would use would create centralisation pressures which could destroy the network. The theory was that a miner of the network with more resources could publish many more transactions than a competing small miner could handle and therefore the network would tend towards few large miners rather than many small miners. The group of developers who supported this theory were all developers who worked for the company Blockstream. The argument from people in support of increasing the transaction capacity by this amount was that there are always inherent centralisation pressure with bitcoin mining. For example miners who can access the cheapest electricity will tend to succeed and that bigger miners will be able to find this cheaper electricity easier. Miners who have access to the most efficient computer chips will tend to succeed and that larger miners are more likely to be able to afford the development of them. The argument from Gavin and other who supported increasing the transaction capacity by this method are essentially there are economies of scale in mining and that these economies have far bigger centralisation pressures than increased resource cost for a larger number of transactions (up to the new limit proposed). For example, at the time the total size of the blockchain was around 50GB. Even for the cost of a 500GB SSD is only $150 and would last a number of years. This is in-comparison to the $100,000's in revenue per day a miner would be making.
Various developers put forth various other proposals, including Gavin Andresen who put forth a more conservative increase that would then continue to increase over time inline with technological improvements. Some of the employees of blockstream also put forth some proposals, but all were so conservative, it would take bitcoin many decades before it could reach a scale of VISA. Even though there was significant support from the community behind Gavin's simple proposal of increasing the limit it was becoming clear certain members of the bitcoin community who were part of Blockstream were starting to become increasingly vitriolic and divisive. Gavin then teamed up with one of the other main bitcoin developers Mike Hearn and released a coded (i.e. working) version of the bitcoin software that would only activate if it was supported by a significant majority of the network. What peine next was where things really started to get weird.
After this free and open source software was released, Theymos, the person who controls all the main communication channels for the bitcoin community implemented a new moderation policy that disallowed any discussion of this new software. Specifically, if people were to discuss this software, their comments would be deleted and ultimately they would be banned temporarily or permanently. This caused chaos within the community as there was very clear support for this software at the time and it seemed our best hope for finally solving the problem and moving on. Instead a censorship campaign was started. At first it 'all' they were doing was banning and removing discussions but after a while it turned into actively manipulating the discussion. For example, if a thread was created where there was positive sentiment for increasing the transaction capacity or being negative about the moderation policies or negative about the actions of certain bitcoin developers, the mods of r/bitcoin would selectively change the sorting order of threads to 'controversial' so that the most support opinions would be sorted to the bottom of the thread and the most vitriolic would be sorted to the top of the thread. This was initially very transparent as it was possible to see that the most downvoted comments were at the top and some of the most upvoted were at the bottom. So they then implemented hiding the voting scores next to the users name. This made impossible to work out the sentiment of the community and when combined with selectively setting the sorting order to controversial it was possible control what information users were seeing. Also, due to the very very large number of removed comments and users it was becoming obvious the scale of censorship going on. To hide this they implemented code in their CSS for the sub that completely hid comments that they had removed so that the censorship itself was ******. Anyone in support of scaling bitcoin were removed from the main communication channels. Theymos even proudly announced that he didn't care if he had to remove 90% of the users. He also later acknowledged that he knew he had the ability to block support of this software using the control he had over the communication channels.
While this was all going on, Blockstream and it's employees started lobbying the community by paying for conferences about scaling bitcoin, but with the very very strange rule that no decisions could be made and no complete solutions could be proposed. These conferences were likely strategically (and successfully) created to stunt support for the scaling software Gavin and Mike had released by forcing the community to take a "lets wait and see what comes from the conferences" kind of approach. Since no final solutions were allowed at these conferences, they only served to hinder and splinter the communities efforts to find a solution. As the software Gavin and Mike released called BitcoinXT gained support it started to be attacked. Users of the software were attack by DDOS. Employees of Blockstream were recommending attacks against the software, such as faking support for it, to only then drop support at the last moment to put the network in disarray. Blockstream employees were also publicly talking about suing Gavin and Mike from various different angles simply for releasing this open source software that no one was forced to run. In the end Mike Hearn decided to leave due to the way many members of the bitcoin community had treated him. This was due to the massive disinformation campaign against him on r/bitcoin. One of the many tactics that are used against anyone who does not support Blockstream and the bitcoin developers who work for them is that you will be targeted in a smear campaign (inciso: igual esto os suena, es precisamente lo que hacen algunos en este hilo/foro). This has peine to a number of individuals and companies who showed support for scaling bitcoin. Theymos has threatened companies that he will ban any discussion of them on the communication channels he controls (i.e. all the main ones) for simply running software that he disagrees with (i.e. any software that scales bitcoin).
As time passed, more and more proposals were offered, all against the backdrop of ever increasing censorship in the main bitcoin communication channels. It finally come down the smallest and most conservative solution. This solution was much smaller than even the employees of Blockstream had proposed months earlier. As usual there was enormous attacks from all sides and the most vocal opponents were the employees of Blockstream. These attacks still are ongoing today. As this software started to gain support, Blockstream organised more meetings, especially with the biggest bitcoin miners and made a pact with them. They promised that they would release code that would offer an on-chain scaling solution hardfork within about 4 months, but if the miners wanted this they would have to commit to running their software and only their software. The miners agreed and the ended up not running the most conservative proposal possible. This was in February last year. There is no hardfork proposal in sight from the people who agreed to this pact and bitcoin is still stuck with the exact same transaction limit it has had since the limit was put in place about 6 years ago. Gavin has also been publicly smeared by the developers at Blockstream and a plot was made against him to have him removed from the development team. Gavin has now been, for all intents an purposes, expelled from bitcoin development. This has meant that all control of bitcoin development is in the hands of the developers working at Blockstream.
There is a new proposal that offers a market based approach to scaling bitcoin. This essentially lets the market decide. Of course, as usual there has been attacks against it, and verbal attacks from the employees of Blockstream. This has the biggest chance of gaining wide support and solving the problem for good.
To give you an idea of Blockstream; It has hired most of the main and active bitcoin developers and is now synonymous with the "Core" bitcoin development team. They AFAIK no products at all. They have received around $75m in funding. Every single thing they do is supported by /u/theymos. They have started implementing an entirely new economic system for bitcoin against the will of it's users and have blocked any and all attempts to scaling the network in line with the original vision.
Although this comment is ridiculously long, it really only covers the tip of the iceberg. You could write a book on the last two years of bitcoin. The things that have been going on have been mind blowing. One last thing that I think is worth talking about is the u/bashco's claim of vote manipulation.
The users that the video talks about have very very large numbers of downvotes mostly due to them having a very very high chance of being astroturfers. Around about the same time last year when Blockstream came active on the scene every single bitcoin troll disappeared, and I miccionan literally every single one. In the years before that there were a large number of active anti-bitcoin trolls. They even have an active sub r/buttcoin. Up until last year you could go down to the bottom of pretty much any thread in r/bitcoin and see many of the usual trolls who were heavily downvoted for saying something along the lines of "bitcoin is shit", "You guys and your tulips" etc. But suddenly last year they all disappeared. Instead a new type of bitcoin user appeared. Someone who said they were fully in support of bitcoin but they just so peine to support every single thing Blockstream and its employees said and did. They had the exact same tone as the trolls who had disappeared. Their way to talking to people was aggressive (inciso: igual esto os suena, de nuevo), they'd call people names, they had a relatively poor understanding of how bitcoin fundamentally worked. They were extremely argumentative. These users are the majority of the list of that video. When the 10's of thousands of users were censored and expelled from r/bitcoin they ended up congregating in r/btc. The strange thing was that the users listed in that video also moved over to r/btc and spend all day everyday posting troll-like comments and misinformation. Naturally they get heavily downvoted by the real users in r/btc. They spend their time constantly causing as much drama as possible. At every opportunity they scream about "censorship" in r/btc while they are happy about the censorship in r/bitcoin. These people are astroturfers. What someone somewhere worked out, is that all you have to do to take down a community is say that you are on their side. It is an astoundingly effective form of psychological attack.

Es que es de alucinar lo que está pasando y este mundillo de sencillo no tiene nada, o sea que os novatos que se vayan poniendo las pilas como habemos hecho el resto.
Y de hilo de bitcoin cash nada, en tal caso que abrán uno los de core/blocksteam, que estos aparte del nombre robado no tienen nada de bitcoin- a p2p cash system
Gran aportación.

The company plans to earn fees for value added services on the network, such as creating an API to allow companies to send additional data over its network.
Ese truño está en la wikipedia.
Y no necesito creérmelo, he sufrido en carnes propias varios eventos de los que ahí se detallan, como la censura en r/bitcoin y el ataque DDOS a los nodos Bitcoin Unlimited.
BCrash tiene replay protection, su propio código buggeado, su propio equipo de 1 ó 2 desarrolladores y tiene etiquetas independientes en los escasos exchangers en los que se negocia. Si eso no es suficiente para que entendáis que es una shitcoin más como las otras 2.000 que existen, yo no sé qué más os hace falta...
keinur en serio?
Sinceramente me ha sorprendido por tu parte que te tragues truños así tan a la ligera. Pensaba que estabas mejor informado de todo esto y que tenías mas criterio.
Ya te digo que lo he visto y experimentado en primera persona. No necesito creer nada.
Y lo de los desarrolladores de Core a sueldo de Blockstream, es totalmente público, está en su propia web. Así como los "productos" que pretende comercializar esa empresa, y para los que ha solicitado patentes, como las sidechains...
Vamos que está a la vista de todos. No es ninguna teoría de la conspiración como las del amigo Mojoncio.
Tu sigue a pinón, que os vais a despertar de un guantazo. No es un equipo de uno o 2 desarrolladores, son 5 equipos, en eso te confundes con core, aunque creo que todo esto ya lo sabes.
No se comercia en pocos exchanges, cada día en más y su volumen ya es cercano al de btc muchos días.
Comparte pow con btc y lucha por los mismos recursos que él.
No se porque me lio en discutir sobre el sesso de los ángeles con una cosa tan obvia, bitcoin es un desarrollo abierto, por lo que puede haber varios equipos peleando, eso es de 1º de bitcoin y será la mayoría económica la que decidirá cual se quedá, y si no entendeís eso no se que pintaís en este mundo. No lo entendeís y la vaís a jorobar.
Y por último si os pica os rascaís porque yo voy a seguir hablando de bitcoin

Muy poco enterado te veo para decir eso. Lo que dice keinur es una cosa más que sabidisima de como actúan estos *** de blockstream y el tal theymos.
Para mi todo esto no encaja EN ABSOLUTO con la idea y filosofía que me atrajo de Bitcoin. Es más bien todo lo contrario. Empresas privadas que ponen desarrolladores bajo nómina, patentes, manipulación de medios de opinión, campañas de desprestigio y ocultación de la verdad... ¿es que no veis el fango?
Bitmain has tested ASICBOOST on the Testnet but has never used ASICBOOST on the mainnet as implied in Gregory Maxwell’s proposal. We ask conclusive proof from whoever claims this to be false because such baseless claims are toxic for the Bitcoin space. We also believe the math used by Gregory Maxwell is incorrect and that the method is not practical in a production environment.
Our ASIC chips, like those of some other manufacturers, have a circuit design that supports ASICBOOST. However, the ASICBOOST method has not been used by us on the mainnet. We have not seen any evidence yet on the main net that anyone has used it in the patented way.
Bitmain holds the ASICBOOST patent in China. We can legally use it in our own mining farms in China to profit from it and sell the cloud mining contracts to the public. This, however profitable, is not something we would do for the greater good of Bitcoin.
El problema no son los datos, sino la argumentacion y las conclusiones. Es necesario puntos de verdad para apuntalar una gran mentira, es manipulación básica.
Que una empresa privada financie un desarrollo de software libre sobre el que basa su negocio no es nada raro, es lo normal en el sector. Google es una empresa privada y financia la mozilla foundation, con quien compite, casi al 100%. Todo el sector funciona así. Que desarrolladores de Bitcoin y otras criptos trabajen para una empresa de tecnología blockchain es lógico y normal.
Admito que la moderación en el subreddit de bitcoin a veces se pasa de la ralla, pero sinceramente, no estoy seguro de poder hacerlo mejor si yo estuviese en el lugar del moderador.
La conspiracion con lo de blockstream no se sostiene en cuanto dedicas 5 minutos a mirar quien desarrolla el código, que commits tiene, como funciona el sistema de meritocracia para el desarrollo, que % de commits tiene cada cual para quien trabaja, etc, en definitiva, como funciona un desarrollo de software libre, cosa que mucha gente desconoce. Es muy dificil "acceso no autorizado" un desarrollo de este tipo con una transparencia tan extrema. Si al menos el coordinador del proyecto trabajase para blockstream, ahi podríamos argumentar algo, pero es que ni eso.
Se cogen algunas verdades, metes mentiras, ambigüedades, datos técnicos sobre los que es facil mentir, pues hace falta mucho nivel para entenderlos, y desarrollas un argumentario falaz con el que motivas a las masas y que requiere de mucho tiempo y esfuerzo desmentir. Se pueden conseguir cosas alucinantes con este tipo de estrategias y por lo general estos esfuerzos tienen detrás otros lobbys con interes en conquistar la opinion para su propio modelo de negocio. Así funciona por ejemplo el movimiento antivacunas. La masa es además muy facil de engañar porque se alimenta a si misma. Son procesos medio diseñados medio orgánicos.
Ese texto fue famoso en su momento, y está desmentidísimo, pero no has dedicado ni 5 minutos a buscar evidencias que den soporte o desmientan sus afirmaciones, porque ya te has tragado el anzuelo, has tomado bando y la información que se ajusta a tu planteamiento te la tragas sin filtro alguno porque es lo más cómodo. Supongo que todos somos culpables de algo así en mayor o menor medida. Tener pensamiento crítico hoy en día sale caro.
No puedo dedicar tiempo a forear así que no te molestes si no contesto mas, me pasaba por aquí solo a ver como se respiraba en el hilo y lo tuyo me ha llamado la atención por lo que había leido de ti hasta ahora, no me encajabas con este tipo de cosas,

Lo que dices "Que una empresa privada financie un desarrollo de software libre sobre el que basa su negocio no es nada raro, es lo normal en el sector."
Esta bien, lo que pasa es que bitcoin no es ningún negocio, es un proyecto revolucionario que va a cambiar todo lo que se mueve y lo que no. En bitcoin se hacen negocios, pero bitcoin no es un negocio, a ver si queda bien clarito esto.
