What a fascinating tale.

Both of them are opt-in.

I don't know of a single responsible bitcoin developer that wouldn't prefer using soft-forks to hard-forks. Bitcoin has had hard-forks in the past, but they have been done in response to a specific issue, and were done very quickly. What's most important, everyone agreed that the hard-fork had to be done.

The current attempt by Coinbase to force a contentious hard-fork is dangerous. There are many people that even question its requirement, let alone whether it can be done safely.

I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but it isn't going to be done quickly, and if it is finally going to happen, it'll be managed by the core developers.

Great documentation set-out.

As much as they can afford to I reckon.

That's an amazing story. I never knew those details.

So guns are a drug now are they?

> I can assure you, the CS understanding of the people who disagree with you (like Chris, Gavin, myself and Satoshi) is just fine

Speaking for Satoshi is a bit presumptuous, yes? It does make me question who else you're supposedly representing.

Jeez... it's like the guy is looking for an excuse to find a new thing groups can hate one another about.

Arduino boards on amazon? Only if you don't mind paying five times the price.

You just get them from aliexpress in china, which is where most of these things are made these days anyway.

I couldn't care less about Pao. I think the attitude and actions of Ohanian (who is, after all, the person who fired Taylor) has been pretty much the antithesis of helpful during this debacle.

It scares me how much that makes sense.
