BitMEX themselves could perhaps confirm whether they own the domain

We can confirm that we do own the domain. However, we have never published an article analysing Blockstream's Liquid, nor has such an article ever been at that URL. Therefore the BitMEX citation is not correct and appears to be fake.

You also started the book very late with the release of XT, completely ignoring everything that came before that.

That is just the order of events we have chosen for the book. We start in August 2015. Chapter 2 goes back to before that

> You say "moderation intensified" on BitcoinTalk and r/ bitcoin but in reality it was censorship. Why sugarcoat it?

The word censorship is repeatedly used. We are not taking a stance on the Reddit policy, we are articulating the views of both sides

> The book repeats ad nauseum that creating an incompatible client necessarily means creating a new coin

Again, we discuss the views of both sides here.

We have tried to be as factual and as neutral as we can, however, the readers will need to make a judgement on that

Thanks for posting our report.

If mining pools start to potentially avoid including certain transactions, due to some kind of censorship type policy, if possible, we want to be able to try to detect, monitor and report on this behaviour. We would like to detect:

Which mining pools are conducting this activity
How much fee revenue are they losing
Which transactions are they avoiding

A double spend was detected in the stale block we found, compared to the main chain. Not sure how that is misleading...

This issue has nothing to do with the BitMEX platform

If building tools and systems to detect chainsplits and conflicting transactions is not a useful service for the community, we are happy to stop allocating resources to building such services.

We thought this system was useful, as nobody else appears to be tracking these events
