- Arbalest 8y agoIt wouldn't be bitcoin anymore then... Being able to grandfather in the whole transaction log after rolling out a new system runs counter to the principle.
- lucb1e 8y agoFine by me, if it makes people want to switch to other proof of stake networks. Who cares about a name when we all know we need to use drastically less energy?

- sschueller 8y agoWhy am I being downvoted? Is my question not valid? Is there this much hate towards ethereum from the bitcoin community?
