The \n\u003e mining landscape is very centralized, with apparently a majority \n\u003e depending on agreements to trust each other's announced blocks \n\u003e without validation.\n\u003e \n\u003e And that is a problem... why?\n\u003e \n\u003e As far as I can tell,\n\n[snip]\n\n\nIt's a big problem. What are you dismissing it for?\n\nWith Bitcoin in fledgling 0.x version state this is neither desirable\nnor encouraging.\n\nDevelopment did not freeze at some time in the past and now we see how\nthe userbase reacts. Miners, btw, are arguibly still a class of user\nas long as they are guaranteed coinbase.\n\nWhen they start making and proving themselves useful in a free\nfloating fee market absent coinbase subsidy, we can revisit this\ntopic, with the benefit of hindsight.\n\n\u003e As Bitcoin grows, pieces of the ecosystem will specialize.\n\u003e Satoshi's original code did everything: hashing, block assembly,\n\u003e wallet, consensus, network. That is changing, and that is OK.\n\n[snip]\n\n\u003e \n\u003e And I think the current \"demonstrably terrible\" Bitcoin system is\n\u003e still INCREDIBLY interesting.\n\u003e \nPieter never said it wasn't interesting, so this emphatic statement is\nstrange - like someone is trying to convince an audience - but\nanyway... as you, a veritable spring-chicken by your actions and\nwords, said the other day: having graduated in '88 you're \"old\" and\nspeak from experience. Don't come with that jive, bossy man - bring\nfacts and testing to the technical list.\n\nMy finance readers, in one camp, and Bitcoin investors, in the other,\nwant to see the XT 8MB hard-fork testing data that you mentioned for\nBIP100.\n\n\"Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.\"\n- - Benjamin Franklin\n\n\u003e -- -- Gavin Andresen\n\u003e \n\nVenzen Khaosan\n-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----\nVersion: GnuPG v1\n\niQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVwMyOAAoJEGwAhlQc8H1mho4IAKEHVxE4lAs3aIoLXa2fxLP8\n3q7MhfM5vIW9QAM7rjz8YzheMg3Wj2CNfZPuUV7YDTVrLZPrIN/aMY6CIftr7GUS\npjMI9nnwezFwYX5oyRU+gW51AMFhvexV6ITZYpiLRtWHgK1FZtXWMG13eO/6Jb5U\nWjflub7suMDvg+ST2PplhQf7fFmnPHrLZg3ISDqK+hvgw20geW1rXC/wCChlewfd\nDqSt9fxqs+NIvbIzS2TgLTkIcHlbKNeI5AeqbaFoaIQtvYALD3Ojt2I/qoCJU1za\nrB8Il7UK0B5uf6xxgErGcYAHzjVpR6Zhsdzo6MiBF1j4ClfNPEQAlG49YjrRXpI=\n=4nai\n-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----"}
