Do you think raising the blocksize is an urgent issue?

Hypothetically, if the "Bitcoin Core" implemented a change that you disagreed with, would you use a different software implementation of the Bitcoin protocol?

chriswilmer

Incidentally, I'm confused about BIP45... is the purpose constant 45 or 48?

It's 48 in Copay's implementation...

I think a lot of people feel "unsafe" with btcdrak as a mod, in that they feel they might get banned for saying the wrong thing... which is really the *entire point* for moving away from /r/bitcoin in the first place.

@rogerver

Can you "tag" users on this forum? Is the notation above correct?

chriswilmer

Roger, it would be great to hear your side in this...

I'm glad that you invited developers to talk to each other about governance, however, the scaling issue still seems stalled and it feels like every influential person (such as yourself) is waiting for consensus to emerge. Do you intend to be more proactive and try to mold consensus around a ...

Thanks

What tools are available for tracking the balance of a multisig HD wallet?

(with a single-sig HD wallet, a lot of block explorers now support searching xpub keys... how would this work for multisig though?)

Is there an economics/speculation subsection? I didn't see one (sorry if I missed it).

Might there be interest in an AMA with someone from the journal, Ledger?
http://ledgerjournal.org/ojs/index.php/ledger

Our deadline for submissions for the first issue is approaching, so it could be an opportunity to field some questions and encourage people to submit their work who are on the ...

Two questions/comments:

1. Before the Trezor went for sale, I was literally planning to buy *hundreds* of them and just hand them out to anyone I thought might be interested in Bitcoin. I wasn't expecting them to cost $100, of course (but I still bought 10, including 2 metal ones, so don't think I ...

Hi Tuur,

Full disclosure, this question is a shameless plug:

Have you (or are you) considering submitting any of your research to our new peer-reviewed journal Ledger? Also, it would be great to hear your thoughts on the role that academics can play in the evolution of Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies.

Hi Stephen,

First of all I want to say THANKS, YOU GUYS ARE MY HEROES. You and Tony have done so much for Bitcoin it's hard to think where we would be today without you.

Now my question: What are you doing to help mold consensus around BIP101 (or if not that, some other block size solution)? Are ...

chriswilmer

(Provided that the block size limit is raised and Bitcoin continues to be widely adopted...) Do you think it will be common in coffee shops/restaurants for users to just hand merchants signed transactions rather than broadcasting them to the Bitcoin network themselves? I was in a restaurant once ...

chriswilmer

Just wondering which people in the Bitcoin eco-system you tend to stay in contact with. Do you communicate much with the founders of various Bitcoin exchanges, for example, or with the CEOs of companies like Coinbase or Circle? Have you talked to Gavin Andresen on the phone? (I've listed a tiny ...

Hi Wences,

Thanks for doing this AMA!

It seems to me that a lot of the venture capital dollars are being invested prematurely... I think that money would have been better spent just buying bitcoins, and then once the price is $10,000 (ish), a lot more money is then needed to try and keep it ...

chriswilmer

Any interest in submitting some of your published work (if it can be revised a bit) to the new journal Ledger?

chriswilmer

Do you talk regularly (or at all) with big miners about Bitcoin and issues like the block size debate? You don't have to reveal your position on the debate, I am just wondering if have an open line of communication with say KnC Miner or 21 Inc (great if you talk to Chinese miners too, but I ...

[since you already answered one of my questions, feel free to skip this one unless you're really bored and out of other questions]

Q: In an earlier email to you about UTXO growth, I said "hey, it shouldn't grow forever because the smallest txn is 1 satoshi, and so the theoretical maximum UTXO size ...

Hey Gavin,

Two quick questions (one big and one small(er))

1) It always felt to me, in the months leading up to last August, that the clear popular majority was in favor of larger blocksizes and even BitcoinXT (it still feels that way on /r/Bitcoin). It was surprising then that so few people ...
