some kind of #Bitcoin clash between Bitmain and gmaxwell (‽). Bram Cohen’s context from elsewhere: “The thing which people are upset about is that Bitmain has been running a scorched earth propaganda campaign against segwit claiming that it’s for technical reasons when their actual reason was to preserve their asicboost advantage. It’s extremely difficult if not impossible to preserve covert asicboost while adding segwit, and given what a damaging selfish sack of shit Jihan has been people aren’t feeling very inclined to continue to sacrifice important functionality for his personal well being.”
