This could\n\u003e be arranged for this October, or earlier, if deemed necessary.\n\nGreat!\n\nFWIW there Constance Choi and Primavera De Filippi (CC'd) are holding a\nblockchain-tech conference October 14th-15th in Hong Kong as well;\ncoordinating your summit with that conference could be useful.\n\nhttp://blockchainworkshops.org/\n\nThis workshop series has been attracting audiences of people looking to\nuse blockchain tech in general; many of these use-cases will likely\ninvolve the Bitcoin blockchain in unpredictable ways. Importantly, these\nways can drive demand significantly beyond our current assumptions based\non most demand being consumer-merchant transactions.\n\nIn addition, many of the attendees have significant experience with\nregulatory issues and interacting with governments on regulation of\nblockchain tech. Bitcoin faces existential risks to its existence by\nthese regulation efforts, which include things like efforts to setup\nindustry wide Anti-Money-Laundering/Know-Your-Customer programs,\nincluding programs that would tie on-chain transactions to identity\ninformation. Any blocksize discussion needs to be informed by these\npotential threats to usage of the technology, as well as challenges to\nusing scaling solutions.\n\n\u003e Remote online participation would be welcome from those who might not be\n\u003e able to attend in person.\n\u003e \n\u003e However,  it is hoped that such a meeting would be primarily document\n\u003e driven to facilitate orderly translation, discussion and decision.\n\nAgreed. Pieter Wuille's recent work is a great example of the kind of\nscience-driven investigations that need to be done - and haven't been\ndone very much - to get us some hard data to make decisions on.\n\n-- \n'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org\n0000000000000000127ab1d576dc851f374424f1269c4700ccaba2c42d97e778\n-------------- next part --------------\nA non-text attachment was scrubbed...\nName: signature.asc\nType: application/pgp-signature\nSize: 650 bytes\nDesc: Digital signature\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150616/6117a770/attachment.sig\u003e"}
