Finite monetary supply for Bitcoin



Summary:

On April 1, 2014, Gregory Maxwell assigned BIP 42 for a proposal containing either a reference to musical dolphins or towels in the name. Pieter Wuille requested a BIP number for this proposal, and as there were ten people commenting on it, consensus seemed unlikely. However, owing to a rather large bribe, BIP 42 was assigned by Maxwell.
