Hi, I maintained code with a Merkle tree before Satoshi picked his pen name. I’m just not impressed by the consensus algorithm. It’s not that I’m a Luddite, it’s that I understand some things about it that others don’t and will be tricked by.
In short, I see you all as a little nefarious, with a heap of woo to rival some other boondoggles we’ve recently gotten over.
