Bitcoin as it is now.\n-Mitigation strategies for each risk.\n-A set of goals.\n-A Road map for each goal that lists the changes or possible avenues to \nachieve that goal.\n\nProposed changes would be measured against the same metrics and a risk \nanalysis done so it can be compared with the baseline.\n\nFor example, the block size debate would be discussed in the context of \na road map related to a goal of increase scaling.  One of the metrics \nwould be a decentralization metric.  (A framework for a decentralization \nmetric is at \nhttp://www.hks.harvard.edu/fs/pnorris/Acrobat/stm103%20articles/Schneider_Decentralization.pdf). \n  Cost would be one aspect of the decentralization metric.\n\nRuss\n\n\n\n\nOn 7/30/2015 7:33 PM, Eric Lombrozo via bitcoin-dev wrote:\n\u003e\n\u003e\u003e On Jul 30, 2015, at 5:29 AM, Gavin \u003cgavinandresen at gmail.com\n\u003e\u003e \u003cmailto:gavinandresen at gmail.com\u003e\u003e wrote:\n\u003e\u003e\n\u003e\u003e it is hard to have a rational conversation about that when even simple\n\u003e\u003e questions like 'what is s reasonable cost to run a full node' are met\n\u003e\u003e with silence.\n\u003e\n\u003e Some of the risks are pretty hard to quantify.
