>Both Satoshi boys advocating for off chain solutions

Do you want to know the truth though? They didn't want to increase the block size because it's a retarded solution. It only postpones congestion and basically doesn't solve anything. It's something simple for retards like Anderson and Ver to comprehend, but not something that solves the core problem to Satoshi's vision. They rejected it because they wanted to force thinking about more scalable solution and a different mentality. It's not about having all transactions in the world in a public ledger, it's about enabling secure transactions without the need of a financial instiution.

And I don't have to agree with them. I don't have any Bitcoin. I'm all in Monero despite Nick advocating for Zcash (he's friends with Miller). I don't agree with Satoshi's vision, but I respect it and I respect both Nick and Finney.

A few hints...

- Bitcoin is secured by economics more than cryptography. If you fail to understand incentives you fail to understand Bitcoin.

- 2nd layers, sidechains, altcoins etc. These are not necessary and fragment the security model. The network is designed the way it is for a very good reason.

- We are moving faster than Moore's law. Not at. Faster. Having the hardware to do this will be no issue.

Therefore, it is critical for Bitcoin's survival that the great majority of the Bitcoin economy be backed by full nodes, not lightweight nodes. This is especially important for Bitcoin businesses, which have more economic weight. To contribute to Bitcoin's economic strength, you must actually use a full node for your real transactions (or use a lightweight node connected to a full node that you personally control). Just running a full node on a server somewhere does not contribute to Bitcoin's economic strength.

As explained previously, full nodes enforce the consensus rules no matter what. However, lightweight nodes do not do this. Lightweight nodes do whatever the majority of mining power says.

They all switched to BCH though. How do you run a business when transactions might cost $10 the next day, and your only option is to use beta software which can lose your money and needs 100% availability.
Businesses do benefit from running full nodes (only cause of 0-conf, no consensus rules fake news), which is why BCH will have more full nodes by 2020 (if the BTC chain is even alive by then with its poor DAA).

Bitcoin is controlled by an economic feedback loop of which miners are an important part. (Along with users, merchants, and others) While miners do not have total control, they play a major role in enforcing the rules. Non-mining nodes by contrast do absolutely nothing. You could crank up 1,000 nodes that changed the rules and it would have 0 impact on what gets put into a block. You would need economic support (merchant adoption, user adoption, exchange adoption, people to agree these new rules represented "Bitcoin") of a massive magnitude, which would only happen with miners moving to the new consensus rules anyway as they are incentivized to mine only what will net them profit. This idea that non-mining nodes are some form of "voting" or whatever is totally false. Bitcoin is not 1 vote per IP address, it is 1 vote per CPU. This whole full node thing is the fallacy that caused people to buy into the idea that the block size had to stay ridiculously low so everyone would run a raspberry pi node. It is wrong.

>If you honestly think non mining node signaling would make miners act against their economic interest you're delusional.
Their economic interest is to follow consensus established by the nodes. If miners were to go rogue and build an invalid chain, all full nodes will reject it. You can have the longest chain, but as long as you don't have the longest *valid* chain, the network is free to ignore you. Your coinbase transactions will go to waste, and merchants running their own node won't accept your fork. Everyone with a node is free to accept the chain that is valid

The point is that it embodies decentralization. Everyone is free to run their nodes and validate transactions themselves, while ignoring malicious players. Without these nodes, decentralization wouldn't exist. It's not voting, it's deciding for yourself whether the chain is valid.

Because there is more money to be made mining coins, securing the network and allowing adoption than destroying the thing you own more of than anyone else

Rejecting what miners choose as the longest chain doesnt affect the miners it affects you. If you want to run a node on a chain with no hashpower good for you, it doesnt do anything to stop miners.

Saying a non mining node can affect consensus is like saying someone watching a tennis match on tv can change the outcome of the match. Sure you can change the channel if you dont like the way its going but it doesnt change the outcome

“Not to mention the fact that in terms of any governing body trying to distinguish between legitimate tech and true scams, Bcash does not clearly distinguish itself as a 'scam' while leaving Bitcoin legit. Both Bitcoin and Bcash are susceptible to influence by bad actors with enough capital to create a wake. So while assumptions being made about the motivations of actors like Roger Ver might be correct, if you seek to have the government recognize a forked chain of Bitcoin as a scam, how do you anticipate they are going to evaluate the parent technology from which Bcash forked?

The point is there is nothing inherent to Bcash protocol that makes it a ‘scam’ while Bitcoin is not.”

>>Rejecting what miners choose as the longest chain doesnt affect the miners it affects you.
Are you daft? Miners can mindlessly mine an invalid chain as long as they want, but their block rewards are useless if their blocks are not validated by full nodes that they want to financially interact with.

Let me give you an example.

Merchant A runs a full node to make sure the network is honest
90% of miners start making invalid transactions on their chain
Merchant A takes a look at that chain, and decides to ignore all coins on that chain
Now miners want to use merchant A and send him coins minted from their chain
Merchant A looks at the coins and realises they're invalid according to his view of the network, so the transaction is seen as invalid

Now imagine all merchants do this. And imagine that the rest of the 10% miners do actually perform honest work. Now all the work that went into the other chain is worthless cause no one accepts it. Miners did work for nothing.

You probably still don't get it but that's what decentralisation means in Satoshi's vision

Yes a miner will invest millions of dollars to then invalidate the system he is heavily invested in. This situation is the equivalent of a miner shooting himself in the foot. It would never happen

I don't get why we need LN or BCH for the same reasoning

If it's "Digital Gold", and you want to buy a coffee with Gold, what is wrong with exchanging to DOGE or something at the moment of purchase?

At least LN is contained to BTC itself somehow, basically acting like a super-high liquidity, decentralized Gold Bank

And this is fine because it's not really a "bank" like the ones crypto is attempting to subvert because it doesn't loan BTC at interest or use a fractional reserve.

BCH solved a problem that didn't exist, and LN actually brings some utility to the coin that's been agreed upon thus far as the Digital Gold, but there was never any technical problem with switching to an altcoin at the point of sale, it's functionally identical to LN as far as anyone buying their coffee is concerned.
