Physicist turned bitcoin developer aka "shadowy super-coder", author of Bitcoin: A Work In Progress

It increases the number of potential issues to sue over and the number of (potentially well funded) plaintiffs.

Presumably both. Lobby miners to vote no, or lobby devs to blacklist the withdrawal transaction. The latter presumably fails, but can still be a massive distraction and involve (legal) harassment.

Interesting writeup by nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm about various drive-chain risks. Selfishly I'm mostly worried about disgruntled token holders lobbying core devs to blacklist a specific "bad" peg out transaction hash.

For additional info on the topic, there's a Bitcoin, Explained episode for that: https://podcast.sprovoost.nl/@nado/episodes/drivechain-nado-23

The Netherlands just has a generic article (8) for unsafe driving, in addition to specific bans like holding a phone in your hand and alcohol thresholds.

That just means people need to ask permission.

That's certainly true, nostr:npub1s6z7hmmx2vud66f3utxd70qem8cwtggx0jgc7gh8pqwz2k8cltuqrdwk4c. By the way, since we are conversing, let me take the opportunity to tell you that I have enjoyed listening to you on podcasts such as TFTC and Bitcoin.review. I started digging into crypto in May 2022 to address the interests of some of my high school students. I soon learned that Bitcoin was not only first, but that it is unique. I lost interest in the altcoins, and as I tried to learn how Bitcoin works in order to explain it to my students, I became more and more fascinated by the technology behind it. Someday, when I have more time, I would like to dive into your "Bitcoin, Explained" podcast. Thank you for what you for all of your contributions to Bitcoin. I think it will prove to be an important thing.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I can’t make my keynote nostr:npub1ftw5mdhk9c2zcsc7fzs0vxydxtdqs8jfj2va5egz05hemsm50saqgr8wjt this time. I’ll be on live video instead. Messed up my schedule and my board meeting prevented me from reaching it in time.

Hopefully will see a lot of you in person at nostr:npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l!

Can't call Richard Branson to give you a quicker ride with Virgin Galactic?

Pronunciation hint from someone else with my name...
