Excellent. Now we are getting to some actual written rules. How about
updating the BIP process documentation with this? Everyone should be
able to read the rules of the coin they are buying.
One moment though. Can you tell me how this particular rule came to
be? The creator of Bitcoin violated this rule many times. So it must
have been adopted after his departure. What process was followed to
adopt this new rule? Was there consensus for it at the time? A huge
portion of the user community is under the impression that Satoshi's
written plans, some of which violate this new rule, will be
implemented. So there certainly would not be consensus for this rule
today.
Great question; very fair. I, for one, eagerly await Mark's answer.
I hope nobody forgot to tell adversaries totally outside the open source
ecosystem what the rules for hard forking changes are.
The Chinese miners have it right - we have to work together. If you
want to see who's trying, look at who has written a concrete BIP/code
vs. who hasn't; who has made changes in response to feedback, and who
hasn't.
