EP #76 Paul Snow talks Block Size, The Hearn Affair & Factom!

On today’s show I am privileged to have back on the show, Paul Snow. Many of you know Paul from the Texas Bitcoin Conferences and also from what I consider to be one of the most important platforms emerging from the bitcoin space - Factom. Paul and I talk about the progress being made by Factom, the great Block size debate and we also touch on the Hearn Affair affectionately known as the Hearnado or the Hearnia and how it has affected morale in the Bitcoin Community.
