That is false. I could provide a list of names but I'm really not sure what would be gained as result. You yourself admit that it is an excellent list of research, almost all which you support directly. So I think your only real objection is that I didn't talk to you specifically. >> I am philosophically against hard forks, but HFs were in the end >> of the previous roadmap so I felt it should stay.

It links to bitcoinhardforkresearch.github.io , which I assumed would contain the hard fork wishlist somewhere, but perhaps it does not. > In any case, I think it's safe to say that people's opinions on > hardforks are complicated. And all the smoke right now with unusually > poorly executed proposals probably clouds clear thinking. Yes, of course. But is your position that if something is complicated we should not try to clarify it?
