^^^ Summary of /r/btc, for those wondering
Sigh
> 10 000 lines of code highly controversial because they require... A soft fork, and will change bitcoin in a fundamental ways
Most of those lines of code are tests. It would be nice for you to say why SegWit is controversial, beyond being proposed around the same time that fees got high.
Bitcoin has had soft forks before. This one will do great many great things for transaction throughput and privacy.
> "Blockstream" have paid almost every developers of bitcoin core to push Segwit without a clear consensus from the community
Blockstream employed 5(?) Core devs, some of them part-time.
> Worse, this company actually support the huge censorship happening in bitcointalk and r/bitcoin
Censorship is horrible, but do you have proof that Blockstream supports it?
> 75 millions from AXA
Yes, they received funds from a bank. But what matters about code is what the code does, not who paid for it. Bitcoin is open source, so you can inspect what's going on. If you have legitimate economic or technical objections to SegWit, I'd love to hear them. If you're spouting FUD, then go back to /r/btc.
