Hi guys! I'm going to interview Jimmy Song (with Ivan on Tech @ivanli), a vocal Bitcoin Developer and Entrepreneur about Segwit and the future of Bitcoin. Do you guys have any suggestions for interview questions? I would like to ask the Steemit community if you have any questions to ask Jimmy (concerns over Bitcoin Scaling etc). # Video will go live on Wednesday 8pm CST (view from link below, will also be cast on Ivan's channel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7NbMJqUnEQ # Comments and suggestions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1az8gtlpBRKXUOEyzPIv_kuy9d6AXY04ffm4Y9zX_lLk/edit?usp=sharing # Jimmy Song Interview: Objectives: Scenarios for Aug 1st Dispel some rumors / false information that is spreading in the bitcoin community Theme: Will Aug 1st Lead to a Better Bitcoin? # Video Title: Segwit Activation and Bitcoin Future with Jimmy Song # Questions * Tell us about yourself How did you get into Bitcoin * Why do we need to fix Bitcoin Scaling? (eg. currently large number of transactions create higher fees) * Optimistic Scenario - Locking mechanism etc * Failed Scenario - Betray and chain split * Practical: what do βregularβ people absolutely need to know until the August the 1st? For example: is it safe to transact during that time etc.. * How do we think we can heal the wounds and get everyone working together again * What misconceptions do you want to dispel - what do you think people get most confused about # References https://medium.com/@jimmysong Latest Post: https://medium.com/@jimmysong/uasf-segwit2x-scenarios-and-timelines-1a540336c4be http://boxmining.com/segwit-activation/

My question for Jimmy is this: With all that's been going on the past few months can we please get back to the philosophy of what Bitcoin set out to be and do, "is the Satoshi vision being lost and wasn't the original thinking that little mining operations be spread out to maintain the purity of the blockchain to release us from the bondage of centralized everything"? Bitcoin is our gift to free us, if the blockchain can be corrupted this easily , without a fight then we should slip back into the prison cells of the Fed, IMF and central banks.

"At first, most users would run network nodes, but as the network grows beyond a certain point, it would be left more and more to specialists with server farms of specialized hardware. A server farm would only need to have one node on the network and the rest of the LAN connects with that one node." -satoshi http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/2/

thank you for that reminder, but can Bitmain still be called just a server farm? Was that the intent? My thought is more to should the "server farms" have more control over direction than users (and core developers)? This debate brings to the forefront centralization of power versus the intended goals. do the "server farms" get to change code, set fee's and control the future direction?

Will core follow through with the 2x since they never signed any of the agreements. Has/will there be enough testing to ensure that there aren't any big bugs before segwit and 2x are released into the public?

Here's a question, are there any evidence to suggest that the risk/negative impact of hard fork are overblow given what we've seen so far in the altcoin space? Ether DAO Classic split is used as the poster boy example typically but even this is questionable since you have to look at the long term effect, to wit, where Ethererum's ecosystem is today. Also Steemit did a hard fork recently btw.

@boxmining it's going to be great interview to watch. All our doubts are covered with your questionnaire list. According to coin dance https://coin.dance/blocks segwit2x intention is upto 87.3% which is a good sign.
