Drivechain is a proposal from 2015 which has had a lot of community debate recently. Joining us today to debate this are Paul Sztorc (CEO of Layer Two Labs) and Peter Todd. We discuss a range of points:

• Drivechain and miner centralisation


• Whether you can delegate running a node


• Legal risks


• Fees and Blocksize limits
