+That is a great suggestion. Jerry Brito is the number one guy to go to
+for this information. You will find that many early Bitcoiners are
+completely clueless as to the motivations of regulators. However, you
+still have the problem that some influential developers know Bitcoin but
+otherwise are completely ignorant. They will go around claiming
+everyone who discusses regulation is a "statist" and so forth. Some
+people on this list actually claimed I am "statist" simply by pointing
+out that governments do both good and bad things and that most people
+trust and depend on governments to a certain extent. That is simply a
+fact, it does not support any agenda.
+
+Another example are the developers who are going around claiming a
+stress test is a criminal action against those running nodes. Such a
+claim brings all kinds of complicated legal questions about the
+liability of people running nodes. Instead of contacting someone who
+researched the issue (such as Peter �urda who ended up posting several
+sensible replies) the developer posted some hyperbolic article on Reddit
+which did nothing but promote misinformation. On top of that it makes
+Bitcoiners look totally ridiculous. One day they claim Bitcoin will
+collapse all these government institutions and the next day they want
+those same government institutions to arrest people for overflowing
+their memory pool.
+
+One final issue about the conference ... the developers should not be
+accepting advertisers engaged in nefarious activities. In particular
+BicoinTalk was accepted as an advertiser. It is well known that site
+has promoted fake banks where many users lost money
+(CoinLeders/Inputs.io), illegal investments schemes where,any people
+lost funds (BLBSE) and whole host of questionable, illegal, immoral, and
+unethical activities. Just because the guy who runs the site wrote a
+block explorer that does not mean the developers should blindly promote
+a highly questionable web site that damages Bitcoin's reputation. The
+people running these events need to start acting responsibly.
