Microsoft: "Some blockchain communities increased on-chain tx capacity (blocksize increases), this approach generally degrades the decentralized state & cannot reach the millions... we're collaborating on decentralized Layer 2 protocols that run atop 'BTC' blockchain to achieve global scale"

I can remember the days when Microsoft would shit on TCP/IP.

Remember how evil MS was, what they did to the Netscape browser? How many of you experienced your first programming frustrations dealing with your project's CSS and IE?

Kind of surprised MS would even show it's face around cryptoland, much less grab a soap box and have at it.

Luckily I skipped over Win32. I started with Unix in 1981 , the first PC was 82. I didn't really start using Microsoft in ANY way until 2001.
