Blockstream showed their hand with the Adam Back signature debacle
Adam Back president of blockstream flies to China to meet with miners for "consensus".
He obviously promised things at the round table meeting acting as the PRESIDENT of blockstream. we know this because he signed his name as president and then changed it to "independent" (proof) and then f2pool called him out on his change because they were promised things from the president of blockstream, so they felt double crossed. he has now changed it back.
This means the consensus meeting was based on blockstream being the exclusive leader of bitcoin core in a secret meeting intended to collude with chinese miners. adam back acting as president of blockstream promised things that we are unaware of, which led to the chinese miners being influenced and promising to not run bitcoin classic. also, it shows how blockstream/bitcoin core are playing a game of cat and mouse, where core dev said 4 days ago "Adam is attending as an individual, his signature not carrying the weight of representing Blockstream" which is a DIRECT CONTRADICTION of what f2pool was told by adam back!
This has huge ramifications because it shows that bitcoin development/bitcoin core is completely governed by blockstream. it also shows a clear attack on bitcoin by a large vc funded bitcoin company.
Anything else I'm missing?
