I think it was just a lack of communication, lots of time zones [and] lots of different languages.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk4Ekyc1xQc#action=share Shortly after the proposal become public, Bitcoin.com issued a statement saying the plan required greater consensus within the BCH community to have any success. As previously reported by ***Bitcoinist***, the blog post stated that Bitcoin.com will not be supporting the plan unless a consensus emerges on the matter. https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-cash-dev-tax-could-have-serious-impact-on-bitcoin-mining/ BITCOIN ABC PROPOSES 5% BLOCK REWARD TAX Amid the controversy of the BCH miner tax, Bitcoin ABC **issued** a new infrastructure funding plan (IFP) over the weekend.
