So the tension between BitcoinABC & BitcoinUnlimited is WAY worse than I thought; it may be a bomb set to explode, but I think this is how we solve it

Jonald Fyookball recently made a post about BitcoinABC's decision to go with Checkdatasig (CDS), which seemed to me to simply seek to ascertain in hindsight whether ABC made a good choice, something of interest since there was apparently grumblings surrounding that versus Datasigverify (DSV) which came from Andrew Stone and Bitcoin Unlimited.

I learned a lot from that post, and the most important takeaway wasn't anything to do with CDS or DSV.

What I realize is there has been some grit doing very real damage in the development engine of the Bitcoin Cash community. Things are NOT running as smoothly as they might appear on the surface. I'm talking about people, exceedingly valuable people, possibly quitting contributing, or worse, setting conditions for another damaging/irksome hard-fork and group of enemies if left unaddressed. We shouldn't think we can ignore this.

The good news is I think there is a fairly simple solution. Fortunately I paid attention when an outside consultant was brought in to speak on a panel at a Bitcoin conference before Bitcoin Cash forked. The BTC community was having governance issues of course and it made sense to explore fixes. Long story short, the expert's advice was it would be exceedingly helpful to get people to meet in person, at the very least. Her experience with the Debian Linux community showed that was the single best way to improve communications and encourage better working relations between very smart yet very independent open source developers. In the original thread /u/ThomasZander corroborated this anecdotally saying:

"The moment you start doing work making changes that everyone in the ecosystem needs to follow, then you need to spend a lot of time supporting these changes. And this has, to be forward, been lacking."

and

"For me it helped a LOT when I finally met the Frenchman face to face and could ask him lots of questions till 2am or so."

referencing BitcoinABC lead developer Amaury Séchet.

I think the Bitcoin Cash community needs to prioritize getting the the two lead developers of the two most significant node implementations for Bitcoin Cash to meet in person. I think we neglect this to our own detriment. Distrust and harmful intention become a self-fulfilling prophesy: something that may have been an innocent misunderstanding isn't resolved, then (being human) people sense harbored distrust and/or resentment, which leads to pulling back and erecting defenses, which aggravates the early suspicions, then the subtle retaliations and further misunderstandings or an actual preference for appearing more "right" than the other side for self-preservation or standing, leading to questionable actions and more distrust which somewhere becomes animosity and things keep building. This all happens over distance, in the dark, like mold growing under some refrigerator. Yet it could probably be eradicated or at least substantially improved when people have the chance to meet in person, gaining the benefits of inflection and tone of voice, etc.

So, again, I believe it's very necessary for Andrew Stone and Amaury Séchet to meet in person. How do we make this happen?
