There are people just learning about BIP110 now.
They are being told "moral crusaders are trying to take over bitcoin".
Many that heard about it and never looked into it thought it was already "settled" months ago.
Many think you will see a success or fail on Saturday.
Many think the miners have the final say.
Many think a node has no influence, but then point at a network statistic interpreted to mean something that it does not.
Many think "big money" sets the terms.
This is normal.
Nobody is "calling it off", the wheels were set in motion and nobody can stop it.
No "devs" have decided to "change the schedule" or "delay the fork".
Nearly everything you read is wrong.
You can scream at those that are in favor of it.
You can attack the character and demean those who had the balls to call their bluff.
You can misrepresent what BIP110 does and is about.
Your internal angst changes nothing. The decision has been made. Now it's a matter of the market catching up.
The rules that represent the best version of bitcoin will prevail. Not on a schedule, not on a deadline, not at the option of miners or based on the number of nodes, but based on whichever rules meets the needs of the bulk of people who transact in it. Whether BIP110 meets its own self-imposed limits if irrelevant.
BIP110 is accomplishing exactly what it set out to do - force people to decide whether they are for or against spam. Not whether they will adopt 110, but whether - when given the option - they will choose to limit spam or to remove down all limits to it. The question can't be clearer, and the most important communal development isn't the answer, it is to clarify the question.
Will the real bitcoin please stand up?
