Drivechain proponents are bitcoiners. We are not litecoiners. 😂
Discussion
We launched segwit on litecoin first as a testbed to see if it would be compatible with bitcoin, this seemed to have been a really smart move during the block size wars.
Drivechain would have prevented the block size wars as well.
You could keep the main chain block size unchained and you could have a sidechain with a bigger block size.
Drivechain has been around since 2015 for people to try on test net.
Yea but I would think there's a good reason we didn't rely on testnet to validate segwit. Maybe my reasoning is flawed, fair enough, but I think its worth exploring.
I just think this “test on litecoin” is ja pointless step to implement to btc core.
1) it’s a waste of time and dev resources
2) litecoin dev community is non-existent so unlikely will get any adoption
3) why would bitcoiners add code improvements to litecoin and make litecoin more competitive just to prove bitcoiners its valueable.
I think bitcoin community overestimate how popular bitcoin is. Bitcoin adoption is a still very small despite how mainstream btc has become in recent years in the financial world.
At the end of day my opinion very little because I am not btc core dev. 😂
1. It could be a waste if there's better ways to go about it, on the other hand if its effective and a battle tested way of building consensus then its not a waste.
2. Makes it easier to stick our fingers in and push some code on them I hope.
3. I'm not worried about a litecoin takeover, they could always copy our code anyways since we are so close so it can't be avoided, and its like worrying that a new copper mint will decrease peoples desire for gold. We are already breaching into the conscious of people as an alternative to the USD v. BRICS, I think we are past needing to worry about any other PoW token.
same, not a dev, more commenting from a cultural standpoint, I’ve been told to care abt drive chains for years and that alone is not compelling enough reason to adopt anything
no skin in test net
