There you go again. This was never about taking a set position and trying to defend that in a fixed goal post way. This discussion was meant to stimulate imaginative debate about a the possible cons of SC's. It's about going down one path and being cut off (oops that doesn't work) , going down another path and getting cut off again (wrong) all the while not giving up until everyone is satisfied. We are far from that point as i for one am far from satisfied.
Oh please, don't make me have to dig up your old posts. You were literally on a witch hunt for the Blockstream devs and their motives and at one point qualified sidechains unequivocally as "sidescams".
This "higher than thou" attitude your are now parading is quite sickening I might say. This was no brainstorm and discussions "meant to stimulate imaginative debate". Your goal all along was to discredit sidechains and their creators
