What is he misreading? When he said that some very important person told him that all his work on ECDSA tricks was completely irrelevant and they didn't want to even hear about it -- and then apparently Jeremy just threw everything into trash -- I found that weird. But what is the real story there?
Dunno, I’m absolutely sure there are some developers who were very rude to Jeremy, there’s a million developers who work on bitcoin in one way or another (though in context at Scaling Bitcoin it may not have been a relevant topic?). The discussion seems to heavily imply that all, most, or core developers are all rude or somehow stonewalling, which I find to be absurd.
I didn't pick up that implication at all from listening to the interview.
