@jonmatonis @pierre_rochard If it gets adopted by a majority of users, it sounds pretty democratic, doesn't it? That's how open source works
I have followed this from the beginning & I agree that it is an attempted governance coup. #NoPropagationWars https://twitter.com/pierre_rochard/status/632904268303998976 …

@mola_io@pierre_rochard However, it won't get adopted...at least not via that channel. In the meantime, s/w propagation war is dangerous. -
@jonmatonis@pierre_rochard If it does not get adopted, you should not fear it, right? Or am I missing something? -
@mola_io@pierre_rochard Bitcoin is anti-fragile, but "suggested" changes fought via propagation degrade confidence and cause uncertainty. -
@jonmatonis@pierre_rochard It's painful on the political side, but I'd say that what you call "war" is how open source moves forward.

@jonmatonis@adam3us A coup is an essential artefact of governance. Bitcoin's system of G. failed to resolve the issue. Look to the system. -

@jonmatonis@adam3us Typically, canonical model of governance is 3 heads of power: legislature, executive, judiciary, in balance. -
@jonmatonis@adam3us Where, in balance can also be characterised as being in perpetual disagreement, war of words and actions.

@jonmatonis the attempted governance coup is being done by blockstream devs who wish to force users into using trusted 3rd parties (them)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@jonmatonis@LarryBitcoin But who is behind it? Perhaps VC-backed entities who want to disassociate Bitcoin from the cypherpunk message?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@jonmatonis@LarryBitcoin The issue was likely chosen specifically to allow them to engineer a split between devs & the unwashed masses.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@jonmatonis The coup occurred when gmaxwell forcefully blocked@gavinandresen. Gavin would happily submit BIP 101 to any fork, not just XT.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@jonmatonis@pierre_rochard it's a fork. A fork is a fork, not a coup. A fork is OK. Censorship and non-arguments is what I find irritating.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@jonmatonis imo it's sabotaging. If they want an alt they can make their alt. Instead they want to rape btc.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
