I will be giving a talk at #ScalingBitcoin on how a block size increase up to 3600x the present size and a change of proof-of-work can be achieved with a fully backwards compatible soft-fork—old clients see all transactions and valid SHA256 block headers.

This is not good news if onchain.  I hope this is a sidechain solution.

That conference is getting more and more mixed in quality. Remember that time they let Peter 'people are trying to avoid a chain split' Rizun in?
