No I think he was talking about micgoossens' competition! Mike's already said he'd make a separate thread next time. And someone else sensibly imv suggested no noobs allowed ...

Dear all,

On Wayniloans part or our business is achieved thanks to Bitcoin, and on May we agreed to a sentence to reach consensus for the good of the ecosystem. This sentence was later changed to a longer agreement without our notice, and it was known as the New York Agreement (NYA).

At the time we didn't know that existing developers wouldn't support it, or that most Latin American Bitcoin users, our customers, would view it as an contentious proposal.

Also, without mandatory replay protection (not opt-in) on SegWit2x, we wouldn't be able to operate the crypto part of our business without risk of missing funds or legal actions.

So with existing conditions we can no longer be part of what later became the NYA.

best
Juan

so Tether isn't a scam?

Wow. This is the central bank of central banks saying that many central bank operated payment platforms are technologically obsolete.

New cryptocurrencies are emerging almost daily, and many interested parties are wondering whether central banks should issue their own versions. But what might central bank cryptocurrencies (CBCCs) look like and would they be useful?
No they wouldn't, Mr soon-to-be-swallowed-whole-by-bitcoin Bank for International Settlements. Read your own fellow lizards' research, then fuck off and get with the program here http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/today .
