http://www.coindesk.com/gregory-maxwell-went-bitcoin-skeptic-core-developer/ Bitcoin holds a lot of promise as a decentralized currency, but there are many technical issues to be tackled as adoption increases. No one knows this better than core developer Gregory Maxwell, who has been contributing to bitcoin’s software since the early days. A long time open-source and cryptography advocate, Maxwell was an early contributor to Wikipedia and worked for the Mozilla Foundation. He is now a co-founder of Blockstream, which has raised $21m with ambitious plans to push forward the development of bitcoin to better secure its future. |
