Hi @jl777, I know you had some questions for Sunny King. He's going to be in live chat tomorrow (August 19th) on Fuzzy's Beyond Bitcoin mumble.

(I have a post on my steemit blog that details more about it - hope you can make it)

The reason I wrote this here.. is that I agree with you, the Bitcoin chain takes forever to sync, and is pretty cpu intensive too. I gave up using a regular bitcoin client. It's just too huge of a chain!

I also saw you had some peercointalk questions for Sunny before -- now is your opportunity. :)
