ben_vulpes: got a writeup somewhere? i don't understand

mircea_popescu: sometime in 2012 an uncontroversial fork was put in, so
that sometime in 2013 blocks are mined with version 2 instead of version 1.
ben_vulpes: wasn't even keeping logs at
that point
ben_vulpes: i don't know if i was around at
that point.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like
the man who gets drenched in volcanic eruptions every single week, worrying about meteors falling.

to it, “let’s just be really careful with code changes and hope for
the best”.
There is no real disaster recovery or prevention plan. Yes,
there is ongoing work
to split
the consensus critical bits out into a library and I
think
this is a good idea and am glad

mircea_popescu: "There is currently no way
to guarantee
that any
two versions of Bitcoin software, whether
they are
two different versions of Bitcoin Core,
two different versions of alternative implementations, a version of Bitcoin Core versus a version of an alternative implementation, or even

ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> any reason
to doubt
that
the usg exchanges and other scum are 'on board' (for what
that's worth) ? << it is going

tax accounting, which can be deleterious
to
