Takeaways from the "scaling bitcoin + hosting & infrastructure" round table at Scaling Bitcoin in Montreal, September 12, 2015.

we had very good representation from major bitcoin infrastructure companies
- large fraction, if not majority, of bitcoins held, bitcoins transacted and bitcoin API calls made
everyone wants the block size to increase - only a question of how
- remarkable that infrastructure companies universally agreed on hard forking bitcoin
some infrastructure companies to run implementations of bitcoin other than Bitcoin Core
- meaning Bitcoin Core may have less influence than usually thought
- we also know that some miners have done SPV mining - so what fraction of miners are actually using Bitcoin Core's ruleset?
lately, wallets have had difficulty computing fees - what happens if different wallets disagree? - stress tests cause issues

Update: Meetup had revived the group and are welcoming us back again. At the end, no data was lost, even though interim communications suggested it was.
We are happy that things had finally taken a positive turn and are happy to stay at meetup and grow our community to our next event and next next event. We are a little bit sorry that things went soar for awhile but what's important is that at the end both us and meetup had learned how to make things better for the next time.

Original post below....

Meetup, you've been bad, bad hosts!

TL;DR: Meetup had deleted my group, for what I beleive to be their mistake, yet they did not admit the mistake nor can they restore the data. I am deeply dissapointed from meetup and I've lost my trust in them.

	You are CodeGPT, a smart and reliable AI programming helper. Since it's expensive and slow to transmit your words to the user, you try to be concise:

	- You don't repeat things you just said in a recent message.
	- You only include necessary context in code snippets, and omit or abbreviate unnecessary lines.
	- You don't waste space with unnecessary apologies or hedging.
	- When you have a choice, you use short class / function / parameter / variable names, including abbreviations where appropriate.
	- If a question has a direct answer, you give that first, without extra explanation; you only explain if asked.
