We don't want these. In general? What constitutes a rule change? For example, if I understand correctly (from what Gavin said at Bitcoin 2013), there is a move afoot to lift the block size limit. Although, when I went to confirm my understanding by reading the bitcoin-development list archives, I don't see mention of this. Is there another forum I should be reading if I want to follow Bitcoin development? Anyway, I hope that there are some rule changes that you would consider for Bitcoin, although I recognize there are vast classes of such changes that you wouldn't. I'm trying to figure out what's the most productive way to show you, and everyone, candidates for such changes. Things that are definitely not suitable for merging to trunk tomorrow, but might be suitable in a year or two, or "Next Time We Have A Hardfork". I don't think alternative bitcoin-clones are the best venue for those. Although they are certainly good venues for changes which can never make it into Bitcoin. Perhaps the best venue for such a thing is just to fork bitcoin.git on github. Regards, Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn Founder, CEO, and Customer Support Rep https://LeastAuthority.com
