Topics
Steve Lee 主要介绍了他们进行的关于比特币共识机制的研究项目，强调该项目旨在研究比特币的变更难度、变更机制以及未来变更的潜在风险。他还指出，人们对比特币的变更机制缺乏理解，并解释了该项目并非旨在倡导改变比特币或制定比特币共识的蓝图，而是为了观察和描述其运作方式。此外，他还分析了矿工集中化程度的提高对比特币共识带来的潜在风险，以及 Bitcoin Core 开发者拥有的类似否决权的权力。 Lyn Alden 则补充了比特币的共识机制并非一成不变，而是随着时间推移而变化的观点。她还解释了软分叉和硬分叉的区别，并列举了该研究定义的六个利益相关者群体：投资者、经济节点、矿工、媒体影响者、协议开发者和应用开发者。 Odell 则从主持人的角度提出了一些问题，并引导了讨论的方向，例如在硬分叉场景中自托管投资者拥有的不成比例的影响力，以及为什么硬分叉不像软分叉那样常见。
