We still have to wait and see if segwit2x actually happens. I guess we don't have much longer to wait.

Bigger blocks take more time to process if they are stuffed with transactions that take a long time for a node to process because of quadratic hashing problems. A miner could make blocks like this and then also delay the release of the block to gain an advantage finding the next block. Also add in the whole asicboost advantage and the GFC lag and it would be a nice attack for the Chinese miners. It seems like this is why they want big blocks and no segwit.

You can't record every currency transaction on a blockchain it simply doesn't scale. None of the altcoins have figured out how to scale either.

The company is named after the max amount of bitcoins so I think the VCS would get that bitcoins are limited.

That is the only part that makes sense. The mining makes zero sense but having a secure wallet in everything sounds like a good idea.

Does government itself work? I think that is what people need to ask themselves.

I get this on DO TASK: [genesis-digitalocean | Add the SSH key to DigitalOcean if it doesn't already exist] * failed: [127.0.0.1] => {"failed": true} msg: Access Denied

I cant figure out if the client id is supposed to be the token name when you create that in the control panel? I cant get it to work either way.
