Why? People couldn't even tell a soft fork occurred, miners are simply ignoring transactions containing some opcodes, you can't force them to mine what they don't want. If miners want to softfork anything there is nothing nodes can do about it
so demonstrate the science and fact. and then reference it for everyone to see. this way, any attempt at rhetoric can be easily dispelled by a simple reference.

I have. The fact you seek to ignore what is clear and obvious is not my issue. I really do not care if many of the the BTC crowd are all enlightened. The simplest point is, non mining nodes do not up[date the network. The rest I have covered
-
the fact is that Bitcoin maximalists and evangelists have convinced practically everyone that non-mining nodes contribute in securing the network. the onus is on experts and people like you to prove them wrong with facts and science.
-
Or what? Let BTC persist with their geocentric-quality science. They will kill themselves off. Better to stay focused on moving forward with the heliocentric-quality of BCH and not get weighed down in an asymmetric debate:https://twitter.com/ziobrando/status/289635060758507521 …

there’s no “or what”. there’s just the fact that Bitcoin maximalists & evangelists who write books and do videos/podcasts have spread the information that running full (non-mining) nodes contribute in securing the network. ergo it becomes de facto “truth” unless debunked.

Lesson 1. Learn how a Complete graph functions.
-
Lesson 2. https://arxiv.org/abs/1111.2626 A mesh cannot be secured in a manner like Bitcoin. With a network distance of D>3, the system cannot be secured against Sybils. This means Lightning etc are flawed.
-
Lesson 3. Some research talks about things without testing (see Red balloons again) and makes statements with assumptions.
-
this is exactly my point. the resource materials for this technical discussion should be collated in an easy to find/access, summarized/ simplified for non-expert geeks to digest and understand. diagrams, animation, videos, or TED-style presentation are also preferred



-
Then go ahead and do that. No one is stopping you. You could probably package it all together and sell it.
-
the
#BitcoinCash community should do it since they are the ones who are making this argument. -
It is underway
-
that’s the answer i’ve been looking for. also, simple explainer videos tend to go viral so it’s preferable. case in point:
