What will Bitcoin Core 1.0 look like? Is this project still considered experimental within a long time horizon? What would happen if Bitcoin developers and maintainers were coerced / disappeared / died etc.? Do cruise ships suck? What other client implementations are there?

These questions are from the October monthly Patreon session, which took place on October 27th 2018. If you want early-access to talks and a chance to participate in the monthly live Q&As with Andreas, become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/aantonop

  1. man,what do you think of Craiq Wright claiming he knows about bug in BTC core and by the end of 2019 BTC will be dead ? do you think BTC core developers will adapt and fix the bug, will bitcoin survive ?if he dump his BTC it will led to better distribution of BTC therfore it will be better for future. but iam afraid of BTC going to die as he claims

  2. There was a time before your time when powerful entities scoured the globe in search of cryptographic prodigies. When MKUltra freely plied it's trade, and the worlds most powerful cryptographers seemed to mysteriously die or disappear.

    It was in that context that Satoshi Nakamoto first appeared on my radar. For there was no more powerful cryptographic prodigy at the time than Satoshi Nakamoto, and it worried me.

    I lost track of Satoshi in late 2010. Then several years later Hal Finney seem to mysteriously come down with Lou Gehrig's disease. Satoshi was right to go cold. #ColdWarez..?

  3. all this tech conversations are trash and dumb to smoke, who of the 99% on planet earth do care about? have u everr see people talking about data centers and internet servers or SQL on the street?

  4. Andreas sidestepped a question by telling a dirty cruise ship joke.

    There's a secret password to broadcast emergency messages through the bitcoin network. Only a few people are trusted with it.

  5. Indeed. I expect the software would just be cloned on another platform or even the same platform and the miners and the full node operators would decide which one to use. No one could push through big changes if that happened.
