Giant DISCLAIMER

The important thing is that you understand this is not designed to directly compete with the great conference known as Anarchapulco, and really it couldn't/shouldn't, because this event is not really a traditional conference, hence THE FORK in the name. It's a divergence, a break away, to a different genre all its own. And its potential is just as big for drawing anarchists far and wide.

Why do forks happen? In the case of bitcoin, people were unhappy with its ability to scale. It was getting bogged down with slow transactions, high transaction fees and small block sizes. When working on a solution, it became clear there was a split in opinion on how to proceed. When this happens, in crypto-currencies anyway, we fork. What was one now becomes two different entities and it’s now up to the market to decide how and if they continue being used.

Some of the issues the conference is facing are scaling issues, as it grows in size and popularity. People expect (and respect for sake of familiarity) a standard conference structure, partially because they don’t know anything else. Anarchapulco has the struggle of wanting to be decentralized while still being centralized conference and there will be issues and growing pains with that.
