X-BeenThere: bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:57:18 -0000 This discussion is convincing me that scheduling a blockchain split is definitely the wrong idea at this time. We can revisit in N months, when we've got a roadmap and nice unit tests and a bunch of well-tested patches for fixing all of the things that aught to be fixed when we DO decide a blockchain split is necessary. There seems to be rough consensus that new, imperfect standard transactions are a good-enough short term solution. -- -- Gavin Andresen
