A broad consensus is finally brewing around Bitcoin Classic , the client will end once and forever the adolescence of Bitcoin . Almost all users, savers, investors, merchants, payment processors and sharing sites have decided several months ago to leave behind Blockstream , the company aims to hinder the scalability of Bitcoin to force us to enter their "walled gardens". But ... what about the owners of farms and mining pools? While it is true that, in theory , would end its computing power wasted if intended to protect a block chain rejected by the economic majority(in other words, they would lose a lot of money if you stay out of the consensus), it is good to know that the miners have also awakened. With them on board, the transition will not only be fast but also peaceful .
I used to think that the owners of farms and pools of Chinese mining, perhaps because of certain cultural conditioning, mistook Blockstream with a kind of government in charge of Bitcoin, and would continue to uncritically accepting the mandates from the Idiocracy Bitcoin Core up the last moments of their inevitable shipwreck . Only then probably after the next halving imagined yo- discover that Blockstream plan had always been to get rich at their expense , and begin to use any client that would allow them to create and accept larger blocks.
Well, it turned out that I was wrong: the Chinese miners and seem to have understood that remain subject to the dictates of Blockstream equivalent to blow up the business in which so much money and effort invested . Blockstream now being removed, as necrotic tissue on which have begun to hover flies. When the first block of more than 1MB be considered valid, the brief history of this company will become a warning to any other company in the future intends to dominate -instead of SERVIR Bitcoin users.
Let's see who some of those who so far have clearly spoken in favor of the system to support larger blocks as soon as possible:
Gavin Andresen (henchman of the creator of Bitcoin, was appointed principal developer of the project by Satoshi Nakamoto himself).
Jeff Garzik (one of the earliest and most respected developers of Bitcoin).
Coinbase (el principal broker de Bitcoin).
Bitpay (the main Bitcoin payment processor).
Circle (purse and broker, is one of the companies that has raised investors' money in the world Bitcoin).
Bitstamp (one of the largest and oldest Bitcoin exchanges in the world).
BTCC (the first Chinese exchange site and one of the largest mining pools).
OKCoin (perhaps the world's largest exchange).
Blockchain info (purse service used).
Multibit (the first thin client and one of the most used).
Bread Wallet (the first Bitcoin wallet for iOS).
Andreas Schildbach (the creator of the first Bitcoin client for Android, with more than 1 million downloads).
Mycelium (one of the most popular mobile wallets).
Xapo (provider "safe" and debit card Bitcoin, Bitcoin is the company that has raised more money).
Farms and mining pools: Slush (the Bitcoin mining pool oldest) was the first to offer its affiliates the ability to target nodes able to eventually accept more than 1MB blocks. Today, more than 90% of computing power is controlled by farms and mining pools favorable to increased block size , although F2pool and BTCC two pools which today represent approximately 35% of the hash rate overall, rather -perhaps because one Stockholm Syndrome persistently increased this limit implemented in Bitcoin Core (something inconceivable according to Blockstream employees who maintain this client). However, it remains to be seen what percentage of the total computing power is under pressure from the miners who today use their pools but prefer to support Bitcoin Classic.
So far it has reached the ignominious company founded by pessimists Bitcoinlandia . Blockstream has failed in its attempt to hijack the development of Bitcoin, and that's something worth celebrating. Not only because their plans would resultnoxious lethal to Bitcoin, but because Bitcoin has shown that it is able to fend off this attack (occupation and corruption client most used) through decentralization of development .
