So far I have not elaborated much on these people’s arguments, or who they are. I thought long and hard about naming names in this article, but in the end it seemed unproductive. Those who care enough to follow this drama already know, and those who don’t wouldn’t recognise the people involved anyway.

Suffice it to say they are a handful of people who either have commit access to the Bitcoin Core source repository, work for people who do, people who have been persuaded by their arguments, and a few others who arrived at similar conclusions on their own.

So let us instead discuss those arguments. There have been many. As each one came up, Gavin and myself have written articles analysing them and rebutting them. Sometimes the answers were common sense, other times they were deeper and required more work, like doing network simulations.
