I've heard this before and it doesn't make any sense to me. Just like your Linux box needs a reboot to get a kernel upgrade, your node needs a restart to upgrade. Neither the (entire) internet will go down nor the (entire) Bitcoin network will go down as a result. > Having *something* like a roadmap that gives the average user some > insights into what exactly is being planned for Bitcoin is very > desirable, arguably even necessary, This is fine, and groups that do development should do this more structured than something like https://bitcoinhardforkresearch.github.io/ It just would not make any sense to have a roadmap for the *entire* industry as this would require you to decide what technical solution is better than another before either of them are fully researched. Individual groups can have solutions that they believe is the best. And then we can let the market decide which one is to be actually activated. -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel
