Autmatic checkpoints is a non consensus change ? Wtf

Actually no. Not all node implementations need to follow it.

I didn’t say consensus! Look at what I wrote in the blockchain for the record 😉

So, NOTHING to do with centralization. For instance BU or the other do not have to adhere to these updates.

Centralized checkpoints by Amaury. That ruins confidence for 0 conf. Im glad I didnt have to worry about that (or other change)

How checkpoints affect 0-conf txs?

If the devs don’t have enough confidence and need the checkpoints, how can merchants have confidence in 0-conf?

Merchants can have more confidence because checkpoints make deep re-orgs more difficult to perform.

if miners stayed on the chain for security and not only transiently to win a hash war, that would build the most confidence. Jihan should supply that mental security to his devs

That’s more experimentation, what I didn’t like to begin with.

Cough cough. Bullshit.
