Chapter 5: SegWit
-At Scaling Bitcoin Hong Kong segregated witness is talked about. SegWit is a way of increasing blocksize without being incompatible (softfork).
-Luke Dashjr figures out hack to make SegWit possible.
-seems like win win but nobody understands it which causes more confusion and division between small and large blockers
-SegWit opens the door for layer-two transaction network, lightning ⚡⚡⚡
-November 2016 SegWit is released in Bitcoin Core
-95% of blocks had to signal support to activate softfork
Chapter 1: First Strike
-Mike Hearn and Gavin Andresen throw their weight behind Bitcoin XT proposal in 2015
-Bitcoin XT increases blocks to 8 MB and then doubles every two years until 2036 landing around a final block size limit of 8,000 MB (imagine all the possible inscriptions!)
-CEOs of BitPay, Blockchain.info, Circle, Kncminer, itBit, Bitnet, Xapo and BitGo author a letter of support for Bitcoin XT
-Andresen claims Satoshi handed off the role of leader of Bitcoin project in 2011
-Andresen considered "main guy" in these early years by many
-arguments between "small blockers" and "larger blockers" happening primarily on BitcoinTalk forum and Bitcoin subreddit, /r/Bitcoin
-Theymos (Michael Marquardt) controlled both of these forums and starts to moderate with a heavier hand due to convos getting clogged up by continued larger blocks posts
-bans talk of Bitcoin XT after release because it isn't consensus Bitcoin
Reading "The Blocksize War" by Jonathan Bier.
I have no idea how Bitcoin is still around.
