    well that is why we are here. In bitcoin, right now core is the best choice. I haven't looked at LN but i am sure it will not be part of consensus layer. What Classic is doing is forcing their view/need/perversion onto everyone with a HF consensus breaking change and trying to rekt everyone. I am pretty sure LN will be on higher layer and something optional that user will have an option to choose. That is how you provide tools w/o breaking consesus or key advantages. But again i should not talk about what i don't know. Thanks for getting me interested in reading more about LN :)

    The terms "core" and "best choice" are mutually exclusive when the blocks are full and the mempool is huge. If Core/Blockstream was the best choice, you wouldn't be here since Decred probably wouldn't exist (I hope you read that company 0 blog post)

    If you say Classic is a perversion because they want to raise the blocksize limit, then for you Satoshi Nakamoto obviously was a pervert too, when he wrote:

    and

    Not sure they mention such small details in pyongyang IRC.

    You probably missed start of my post. i said
    Also there is no doubt that blocksize needs to increase, everyone knows that, what most people are opposed to is the way of fear-mongering, unilaterally trying to force changes with hardforks, unsuccessfully fortunately and misguiding people. Also i read a little bit about LN and it builds using current n/w although it might require a softfork, which is optional & back-compatible. Also unless you want to remain inside their n/w finally you have to come back to main bitcoin blockchain.

    Lets end this discussion here or with your last comments. We are creating noise in discussion about decred with bitcoin talk. thanks.

    I didn't miss the start at all. I actually replied to it and said that Core can not be "the best choice" when blocks are full and mempool is huge thanks to Core and its crippled Bitcoin vision driven by off-chain VC wet dreams.

    Again, you are describing exactly what Blockstream/Core does (fear-mongering, unilaterally trying to..., misguiding people, and let me add blackmailing) and then claim it is Classic. How can Classic be a perversion of Bitcoin when it does only what Satoshi proposed that should be done once it is needed. If one change will break everything then it is the dumb SW thing which will render each and every wallet software out there useless (not optional & not back-compatible).

    i think i can agree to disagree. Classic will create a messy harfork if everyone doesn't use their s/w while both SegWit & LN gives you choice to keep using old s/w without causing a messy HF and those on new s/w can use their service. Now you got it backwards. Also, Satoshi didn't get everything right and many things were fixed after he left so "Satoshi Vision" is not like laws of universe, heck even that changes with new understanding. Bitcoin s/w is not like others, it works on consensus rules and its a quality, not bad s/w writing, that keeps this thing working.

    Damn, i replied again. lol no more now.

    Again you managed to put several fundamental mistakes into one post. But I'm going to leave it since arguments don't seem to help.

    Whatever I want.
    That sounds like a great idea. I was considering looking up Android development to try and make an Android GUI wallet as well. I don't know how hard it is, but if I can basically pack a webpage into a self-contained browser, that should work.

    No.. waaait, why'd you stop! - That was apparently interesting, and I was dissapointed when you first wanted to stop.
    ^ I haven't paid attention to the "core vs classic" drama. But daym, you guys caught it for some reason.

    2 things are not discussed in polite company: politics and religion.

    Core vs. Classic is both.

    It was still rather interesting though. For some annoyingly weird reason.
    ^ I've pretty much stay'd clear of the Core vs Classic thing.. Simply because I haven't had the knowledge to understand what was said anyway. And cuz it's drama.

    They said why they stopped. This is a Decred forum and they felt their argument was hijacking the thread. I agree, though there is an 'off-topic' subforum if you really want to start a thread about it.

    Since the web wallet is a fork of Copay[1] building an Android app as well as an iOS and Chrome app should be rather straight forward[2]...
