The destiny of Bitcoin, like that of Apollo 13, shall never be realised, at least according to one of the cryptocurrency's most well-known developers, who has announced that "the experiment has failed". Mike Hearn was a senior software engineer at Google up until , when he left to focus his full-time attention on Bitcoin development. In a blog post on Thursday, Hearn announced he would longer be taking part in Bitcoin development and had sold all of his coins. His 4,word essay on the "resolution of the Bitcoin experiment" has already drawn much criticism from those who believe the project still has legs — though many also acknowledged Hearn's concerns about the political issues affecting the open source project.
Hearn has long been an advocate within the Bitcoin community for raising the limit on the block size — the files recording transaction data which form the blockchain, Bitcoin's transaction database which allows the cryptocurrency to function without a central bank.
However, such a rise has consistently been prevented from being implemented by the developers with commit access to the Bitcoin code. While readers should read Hearn's own exhausting Do you mean exhaustive? Hearn joined banking consortium R3 CEV last year, a startup flogging a distributed ledger interpretation of the blockchain technology to banks. R3 is currently partnered with 42 banks, including pretty much all of the largest banks in the world outside of China.
The Register was unable to speak to R3's US-based team at the time of writing but managing director Charley Cooper had previously stated that: One of the more critical responses to Hearn from the Bitcoin community declared that his "bitter parting shot, full of exaggerations and half-truths, is callous and unprofessional. What purpose does it serve? This project is far from over, but it certainly doesn't need bad press like this.
