If we can get @Truthcoin’s blind merged-mining to work, we can even more safely test new scaling options w/o risking main chain.

Many of the challenges of sidechains that we need answers for are not just crypto—there is game theory, behavioral economics, networks, etc.
Thu Feb 09 23:18:20 +0000 2017
I presume that all non-conservative sidechains will be flawed at first—so we have to design for recovery & resilience & not break main chain
