Alex,
With all due respect, right now the biggest challenge facing Bitcoin is =
not technical but political. I would love to see this list go back to =
technical discussions, but unfortunately, until this political stuff is =
resolved, even technical discussion is purely philosophical as there=E2=80=
=99s little chance of actually making good progress on consensus=E2=80=A6w=
hich in a space where everything depends on consensus pretty much makes =
everything else moot.
