"The first ten years were about bootstrapping this network." Can somebody please enlighten me on what he means here? I had previously thought that "bootstrapping" is a term reserved by those who are developing with little resources?
Is there some other meaning that i'm not aware of?
- efdee 13y ago"In computer technology the term (usually shortened to booting) usually refers to the process of loading the basic software into the memory of a computer after power-on or general reset, especially the operating system which will then take care of loading other software as needed." So I'm assuming they are saying that they "creating the necessary software/infrastructure for the network to run on", rather than using it in the "bootstrapping a startup" sense.
