2018-11-26 meeting minutes

2018-11-26 - Met at the Long Island Welcome Center on the long Island Expressway - Next meeting set for Monday, December 17th at the Long Island Welcome Center at 7pm (to avoid conflicts with Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve) - Price of Bitcoin down to $3808 USD/BTC on Bitfinex (fairly big drop) the drop this time seems to have been precipitated by events in a Bitcoin Cash fork (BCH) - Had a chuckle at a picture making fun of Bitcoin's (1) price drop - Discussed implementation details of Bitcoin Cash forks, BCH-ABC / BCH and BCH-SV / BSV both started out without replay protection, leading to a lot of uncertainty - Miners switched from mining Bitcoin to mining BCH-ABC - Discussed the confusion of the implementation of Tether which is tied to the dollar. There are fees for deposits and withdrawls. - Briefly discussed Con Kolivas's (2) BFS scheduler - Discussed implementation of VLANs using a single switch and one router port using VLAN trunking (3) and then setting up multiple VLANs on the router port - Using parenthesis () for referencing links seems to work -- square brackets get stripped through the mailing list
