.@zooko @morcosa "Putting some thought behind new mechanisms for understanding and managing forks is more important" -@JeremyRubin

.@zooko @morcosa @JeremyRubin its all true but gives no indication there could be severe security consequences with a contentious hard-fork.

@adam3us I'm trying to think less about prevention than about handling it when prevention fails. @morcosa @JeremyRubin

ok @zooko post contentious hard-fork: now 42mil BTC, rampant double-spend, ledgers irreconcilable, both users feel "in the right" your move.

@adam3us @zooko in reality, I think 99% will go to larger block size chain bc that's where all exchanges will go. So it won't matter.

.@twobitidiot @zooko We don't know because not much informed discussion has taken place. My suggestion is to increase within safety margins.

@adam3us @twobitidiot @zooko Needs more computer science, less noise.

@NickSzabo4 @el33th4xor @adam3us @twobitidiot @zooko Nick, Adam is right and I dare say it needs less CS and more econ, psych, sociology etc
