Why is the Lightning dev email list so angry with other what have I missed?

User data is private property and should be treated that way. Businesses own their own data, but they may provide digital storage space for users to store their own data. However, the users still retain all rights over their data. User data is a user’s data, not a business’ user data. Treat it that way.

What will be the money on Mars? Bitcoin mining won’t be able to happen (most of the time) on Mars, while the block time is 10 minutes due to Mars’ RTT of 5-20 minutes, dependent on distance. Currently, bitcoin establishes international consensus every 10 minutes. We can do this because we can reach anywhere within our consensus scope (earth currently) within 10min. Earth’s circumference is about 0.134 light seconds. When humanity becomes interplanetary, likely on Mars, bitcoiners should consider linearly increasing the block time and limits. This would allow Bitcoin to achieve international and interplanetary consensus, therefore supporting interplanetary economic activity and acting as an interplanetary currency and store of value. For the solar system, a safe bet would be a 30-minute to a 1-hour block time, with limits adjusted linearly to that. Thoughts?
