RE: Ever wondered what the fuss about Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash is about? Must read!
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment @talltim! So is it actually not true what this guy claims (that BTC core is now under the sole control of one company)? I'm asking because I don't know anything about it (yet), apart from that one post I shared.
The claim isn't true because there are a lot of contributors from all over, not just with some that have an association with Blockstream. Anyone can submit code for the project, it isn't closed-source. They are trying to paint this like its some corporate takeover, which is ironic since the "New york agreement" was a closed-doors affair that no one wanted - aside for the participants.
(Core wasn't invited, either.)
I don't like those tactics, so I'm very leery of the entire SegWit2x/NYA effort. It seems to be manufactured drama for drama's sake.
Here's a very comprehensive post about the whole thing, from the developers themselves. I suggest you dive in to get a better picture of what is going on.
