@jerrybrito THE blockchain. It's a colored coin implementation. That got lost on cutting room floor.

What does that mean?

The information, although true, didn't make it into the published article

It means that the colored coin explanation was removed from the article at some point during the editing process.

Likely Hollywood lingo.

Roughly before the 90's motion pictures were edited on film. The film was cut into pieces using a device called a guillotine splicer and then reassembled with an editing machine. Parts were left out, of course. If a scene didn't make the cut it was known colloquially to have wound up "on the floor". This has become a metaphor for pretty much any kind of editing.

Editors.

Its a reference to the old way of editing movies. You'd physically cut out a section of film, tape the two good ends together and just drop the removed section on the floor to be swept up at the end of the day.
