\Q[jgarzik: if you aren't near one of the consulates there are some companies that will charge you money to do it...]

TODO purpose? The transcripts are interspersed with developers likely voting for project leadership, and commenting on Gavin.

TODO find original discussion location, these are almost certainly from one of the <Bitcoin IRC channels>.

Part of the goal of this dump is that the Bitcoin developers have a policy of not allowing logging on their talk channel, and this released it all to the blockchain forever where it cannot be deleted. These might just be more of <protests against larger block sizes>.
