"This war over the blocksize would shatter and split the ecosystem over the next two years. As the war progressed, it emerged that the struggle was perhaps more complex than just the maximum size of blocks; the battle went right to the core of Bitcoin’s DNA. The contention was essentially about four somewhat interrelated issues:

1.- The level of blockspace available in each Bitcoin block – Essentially, whether the eventual state should consist of surplus capacity available in the blocks, or consistently full blocks.

2.- How to modify the rules of the Bitcoin protocol – Whether the rules on the validity of Bitcoin blocks should change relatively easily, or whether they should be more robust and only change in exceptional circumstances, with broad support from all interested parties.

3.- The significance of the nodes of ordinary users – The extent to which, if any, validating nodes of the ordinary end users had a say in enforcing Bitcoin’s protocol rules.

4.- Time preferences – Whether Bitcoin was like a tech startup which should prioritise gaining market share in the short term; or if it was a long-term project, a new global money, and one should think decades ahead when making decisions.

At this point, however, most of the focus was on the narrow issue of the blocksize limit."

I wish Nostr wasn't this boring, but hey...

Contrary to popular belief, it's easy to ignore everything about the US election.

Real easy.

I watched it.

It's entertaining for sure, and well done.

The authors' bitcoin knowledge is questionable, though. He says many things that aren't true.

And, SPOILER ALERT,

His theory is that Satoshi is Peter Todd, which is laughable to say the least.

I would recommend it, though. It's fun.

LOL.

So, I take it that you're passing on my genius business idea?

LOL.

Do you think Cullen Hoback and HBO unmasked Satoshi? New documentary, Oct 8th

From --> https://www.fastcompany.com/91201894/satoshi-nakamoto-hbo-bitcoin-documnetary-money-electric-trailer

"That’s one of the reasons that filmmaker Cullen Hoback set his sights on unmasking Satoshi in his new film, Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, which airs on HBO on October 8 at 9 p.m. ET"

"Q: Not to spoil anything, but do you feel like you’ve made headway in solving the mystery?

A: I think we make a hell of a case in the film, and I think that who we land on is unexpected and is going to result in a fair amount of controversy. I think that people are going to debate it regardless of how strong of a case we made, and that’s fine. That’s the nature of this space. We had a lot more evidence than we were able to include in the film.

But it’s going to be up to the audience—how they view the case, how they view the evidence, and whether or not they’re convinced."

Nope, they revised the same deal, which is still valid and they have to honor.

It might make sense just to establish a Nostr presence in case it catches on.
