Hey guys, does anybody have any news from Montreal? Did anything interesting happen or been decided?

Please share this info here if you have any. I have been very busy this weekend so I couldn't watch the live broadcast or listen to it on the YouTube. I am very interested by this and can't find anything.

Thanks!

Nothing was decided but it was a fantastic opportunity for the industry, developers and miners to share concerns and ideas about Bitcoin moving forward.

Coindesk has a good article on the first day here:

You can find transcripts of most of the discussion here:

Most of the slides used by presenters:

My highlights:

- Ittay Eyal's tests and models

- Bram Cohen's talk on fees handling

- Miles Carlsten's work on the "mining gap"

- All of sunday morning sessions on payment channels and layer 2 as well as mining & network costs

Overall it was a great experience and I had a really good time.
