📝 Original message:Thank you for explaining. I agree with luke then, I'm against speedy trial.
I explained why already, I think.
In summary: speedy trial kind of means is miners and not users who decide
the rules.
It gives users less opportunities to react and oppose a malevolent change
in case miners want to impose such change on them.
Why specially jeremy?
I personally distrust him more from experience, but that's subjective, and
kind of offtopic. Sorry, I should try to distrust all the other devs as
much as I distrust him in particular.
"Don't trust, verify", right?
