Can we please leave the cryptocurrency drama out of this? Every time a cryptocurrency post is submitted to HN the discussions get overtaken by political bickering.

The more pseudonymous shill hate-posts that get made the faster the jerks funding people to attack like this run out of funds. I celebrate everyone one of them.

(If anyone with an identity and reputation thinks the grandparent posters comment has any merit at all, I'd be happy to talk it through with you and I'm confident that you'll be satisfied that they're talking nonsense. --- the harassing posts stalking me all over the internet is more then a little tiring)

Sadly I don't think there is any risk of them running out of money anytime soon.

I'd love for there to be pure technical discussion however the development of most of the major cryptos boil down to political bickering at this point. What a sorry state of affairs :(

There is nothing technical about that comment, s/he doesn't even preface it with a discussion as to what SegWit has to do with this post.

Surely nullc's company could sell their expertise even without segwit getting pushed given the number of core developers on their payroll?

You're using too many commas.
