mircea_popescu: but! flavour and hotness are different. flavour's a billion different sulphides, alcohols, aromatics etc

mircea_popescu: "another chain at least 120 blocks longer" or something sane like that ?

mircea_popescu: once there's a million dollar worth of them in the wild, "upgrading" bitcoin is this good joke.
