I am waiting for the bitcoin (not bitcoin-dev) mailing list so that anyone who writes "That's off-topic" can also include a link to it. Someone else mentioned that they read all these emails in about 15 minutes. I'm a bit slower than that, but I'm reading the vitcoin-xt stuff too. It isn't too much for me, but it will be nice to have a more open list, such as is planned. What's the hold up? Don't answer here, at least not until the list is ready :-) On Wed, Sep 30, 2015 at 6:38 AM, Benjamin via bitcoin-dev < bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org> wrote: > Hi Richard, > > its great that people with a lot of experience in financial markets take > interest in these topics.
