This is what less than 1% signaling and desperation looks like.

Yep, been calling this for years. Mechanic and Luke following in Roger's footsteps perfectly, final step is a hard fork to their own coin.

No Roger Ver, I mean Faketoshi, I mean Mike Hearn, I mean Paul Sports, oh sorry I mean Luke, Bitcoin will not die just because it won't change the way you want it to.

NEW RECORD!

LOL now mechanic is wondering why he got banned from r/bitcoin. You can't make this stuff up, continuing to follow in Roger's footsteps all the way through.

Stack real bitcoin, not that fake shit.

LOL remember this Luke? Yah bring back this Luke.

Whoops, never happened. Yet another one of Mechanic's failed predictions.

Luke de wolf wrote a book called defending bitcoin, yes the guy who is vocally in support of 110 wrote a book about bitcoin security lol, what could go wrong.

For months on end hodlonaut literally attacked, smeared and harassed bitcoin devs and contributors and is now wondering why they don't like him. LOL.

Still no github, no code, no plan, but taking donations when there's absolutely nothing that's "Production Ready".

LOL. Who could have seen this coming?

Paul's fork "ecash" is ridiculous, it is literally Dr. Evil energy. Take the name that Satoshi used. Take the coins that Satoshi mined. Use both to fund a project explicitly designed to dethrone the network Satoshi built. And do all of it while saying "I hope Bitcoin succeeds, I plan to hold my BTC". Like if you wrote it as a parody of villainous overreach against bitcoin, you'd probably tone it down because it'd feel too on the nose.

Luke perfectly following in Roger's footsteps, if you don't accept his fork it's not bitcoin. Looking forward to you leaving the project for good Luke.

Will have a few things to say.

No mechanic has not been here since 2011, that is a new and false claim.

It took you a year to create a new website, logo and a donation button? With literally no code to speak of? This is what a grift looks like.

Is this a joke? Fork core and immediately ask for donations? I can understand wanting multiple implementations and forking the open source project that is bitcoin core to do something different to advance the protocol and then afterwards asking for donations to complete the idea or take it further and/or expand upon it. I can also understand wanting to be conservative, and wanting to work on older versions prior to v30 without more advanced SFs in the future, there's a market for that. But slapping a shiny new name, logo and website on a straight fork of core, with a donation button as the first thing you see, and where 2 of the 4 main supporters literally won't let you reply to their tweets unless you follow them... That looks a lot more like a virtue signal powered LARP begging for money than "multiple implementations".

Bitcoin is programmable money.
