This is somewhat off-topic but I might as well ask this here: who are respected technical people who support Bitcoin Cash?
- xiphias 9y agoNobody, as they now make sure that they have nothing to do with altcoins. They put an enormous amount of effort to keep Bitcoin decentralized, at the same time trying to improve fungibility.
- slindz 9y agoIn related news, Adam Back (CEO of Blockstream, current stewards of BTC) inadvertently admitted to hiring people to shape the narrative in social media.

- tlrobinson 9y agoI’m sort of surprised the centralized Bitcoin businesses like BitPay, Coinbase, and exchanges aren’t collaborating to transparently push transactions between them off-chain. Lightning Network isn’t even required, just simple unidirectional payment channels would allow them to amortize the transaction fees over many transactions, and be instantly confirmed. The only tricky bit is the sender knowing when it can go off-chain. With BitPay soon requiring Payment Protocol that becomes easier [1] 1. https://blog.bitpay.com/payment-protocol/ https://blog.bitpay.com/payment-protocol/
- mhluongo 9y agoSome exchanges use Blockstream's Liquid federated sidechain to do inter-exchange settlement. Agreed though, payment channels have been around a long time.
