RE: Interesting twist to the bitcoin blockchain debate

Hello Melvin,

 

Yes the comments were colorful. However, I think the list might find this article by Coindesk on the topic a little more in-depth, but less colorful), see http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoins-new-scaling-agreement-reaction/ 

 

Ironically this is not unlike the domain name space where Registrars engage in an arms race to acquire accreditations to increase the odds of registering deleting domain names from a registry.  When VeriSign back in the day proposed a new service that would remove this artificial, but very lucrative market, Registrars sued.

 

As I always say, follow the money.

 

Best regards,

 

Michael

The comments make quite an interesting read. 

>From what I gather (and I could be wrong here), there is pressure from a group of companies to go in one direction vs the proposals of the core developers.

I personally have a lot of faith in the core development team.  It will be interesting to see which wins out.
