FWIW there Constance Choi and Primavera De Filippi (CC'd) are holding a blockchain-tech conference October 14th-15th in Hong Kong as well; coordinating your summit with that conference could be useful. http://blockchainworkshops.org/ This workshop series has been attracting audiences of people looking to use blockchain tech in general; many of these use-cases will likely involve the Bitcoin blockchain in unpredictable ways. Importantly, these ways can drive demand significantly beyond our current assumptions based on most demand being consumer-merchant transactions. In addition, many of the attendees have significant experience with regulatory issues and interacting with governments on regulation of blockchain tech. Bitcoin faces existential risks to its existence by these regulation efforts, which include things like efforts to setup industry wide Anti-Money-Laundering/Know-Your-Customer programs, including programs that would tie on-chain transactions to identity information. Any blocksize discussion needs to be informed by these potential threats to usage of the technology, as well as challenges to using scaling solutions. > Remote online participation would be welcome from those who might not be > able to attend in person. >=20 > However, it is hoped that such a meeting would be primarily document > driven to facilitate orderly translation, discussion and decision. Agreed. Pieter Wuille's recent work is a great example of the kind of science-driven investigations that need to be done - and haven't been done very much - to get us some hard data to make decisions on. --=20 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 0000000000000000127ab1d576dc851f374424f1269c4700ccaba2c42d97e778 --17pEHd4RhPHOinZp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGrBAEBCACVBQJVgCWOXhSAAAAAABUAQGJsb2NraGFzaEBiaXRjb2luLm9yZzAw MDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAxMjdhYjFkNTc2ZGM4NTFmMzc0NDI0ZjEyNjljNDcwMGNj YWJhMmM0MmQ5N2U3NzgvFIAAAAAAFQARcGthLWFkZHJlc3NAZ251cGcub3JncGV0 ZUBwZXRlcnRvZC5vcmcACgkQwIXyHOf0udyaFAf5AY55acF/RhR+/krGwQ4NUmy5 5Yu2MEyBE2j937o8dfY3hDThCTRevgCXpLcjItuQNPIQWQo1ANVqgbZpfSr05QUc OEkHgkzP9hurrB7u38COvRuNkY85Hofh+Tax6u99DaB1dSN7Ot7OiZxLOqxdmLQI CCU7nr5NH27nQIsT+BJAXmaRYytSnMN4p63eYrS7dAjArNFptMxFF98RuYuWWKkE vyW+ohBpvDhchd5lGL3o+gPYGkrx5Rm91+mRgcQeEbBV4dVLAtmZOoZP1Tc+L+0G s/Qxqu0nqPuGK1bvwMASGNXMulkE0YHEiVc5MSF/mGrWTyfpXktO4snaoJiIHw== =Bw4e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --17pEHd4RhPHOinZp--
