Ch. 8: Hong Kong Roundtable
-February 20, 2016 a meeting happens between miners and developers in Hong Kong
-some in attendance: Adam Back, Cory Fields, Johnson Lau, Luke Dashjr, Matt Corallo, and Peter Todd
-Bitmain co-founders, Jihan Wu and Micree Zhan. Jihan states they will support Classic and demands Core do a fork to still be considered Bitcoin. Says miners will do a 2 MB hardfork
-developers claim SegWit fixes this. Distrust ensues.
-All in attendance agree to draft a text on next steps forward. This riles up those not in attendance in the States and has a political, back room closed door feeling.
-Samson Mow in attached and helps draft text.
-this goes well in to the night and by 5am they agree on a text almost out of exhaustion.
-a picture is taken off all hands reaching towards text to signal consensus (excluding Back and Corolla still reviewing the text)
-text says miners will commit to Core, developers will commit to hardfork improvements after SegWit (if strong community support which seems to be an out that the large blockers glazed over)
-the agreement did not fix anything as each side interpreted it in a way that they wanted
