A minor nitpick: It is well known that the Bitcoin core developers are some of the most active TypeScript coders around, E.g. http://osrc.dfm.io/sipa and http://osrc.dfm.io/gavinandresen But I think this is an important step forward: Seminal alternative crypto-currencies such as SolidCoin showed us that economic parameters can be freely changed at any time, for any (or no) reason at all; and so we should take this opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to adopting innovative features like non-inflation regardless of their origins in other crypto-currencies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
