Block Size Wars, BIP-110, and Bitcoin Consensus with Samson Mow | Bitcoin Infinity Show #215

<p>Samson Mow joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about BIP-110, the mandatory signalling window, and why he thinks a user activated soft fork without broad consensus is a risk to Bitcoin rather than a fix for spam. Knut and Samson dig into the block size wars, how BIP-148 and BIP-91 actually activated SegWit, what miners and mining pools are likely to do when signalling becomes mandatory, and whether a small minority chain is the realistic outcome. They also get into node diversity and client funding through ProductionReady, guilt by association in the Bitcoin community, and Samson's view that Bitcoin's monetary properties are emergent from the software rather than enforced by it. </p>
