So you gonna take on one of these fork futures offers, or just shitpost about things you don’t understand for clout?

I think this libertarian view of “permissionless” (without any boundaries whatsoever) is a risk for bitcoin. Yes, the protocol allows it, but that doesn’t make it good for bitcoin, and until Core v30, default node policy discouraged it. We should agree that bitcoin needs to focus on being money and leave the other use-cases to other protocols/platforms. I’m not a fan of BIP-110, but Core really dropped the ball on spam and that’s not good for bitcoin. Are you running a Core v30 node?

Every individual has to make a moral choice. It’s an obligation. If enough people make the right choice everything will be fine. I chose #bitcoin to be money. And I chose #Bip110. You don’t tell me what to do.

BIP110 is what scales Bitcoin when it massively reduces the spam. 📝 d68c198e…

Bitcoin is money

If miners including it is sufficient for it being ok, that’s ignoring the centralization impact of the externalities they impose on nodes. If miners choose to include even more toxic arbitrary data due to the lax Core v30 filters, or massive amounts of non-financial data (even if it’s not toxic) then fewer people will run nodes, and Bitcoin gets more centralized, which increases the risks of (future) censorship.

There were many red flags and gaslighting coming from core and their backers. Bitcoin was always more about doing what’s right through technology (separating state and money + empowering individuals) than doing on-chain tricks. So when these people willfully ignored concerns many users brought up, and still pushed through their venture backed garbage for the sake of being paid rather than doing what was right (pausing/cancelling contentious implementations until rough consensus was achieved), they lost all credibility to me.

idk, just brainstorming

indeed. we need more than bitcoin knots and core. there should be at least one credible third alternative, at minimum, problem is that most of the alternatives are craply written, poorly maintained, and sub par performance. specifically, btcsuite's btcd is an absolutely appallingly written node. i don't even know what the hell roasbeef is doing these days, there is very likely still bugs that i observed 3 years ago on it, and grandfathered into LND as well, and when i tried to make contributions to improve both btcd and lnd a few years ago, the utter lack of interest in other people contributing was appalling.

Run a node and cast your vote

all these current conflicts are downstream of the blocksize war. the blind trust started then and we should've had two blocksize increases since.

fuck you and your bip110 shit

sovereignty is a practice, not a feature. if we outsource the defense of our principles to a centralized group, we're just recreating the banking system on a different ledger.

Centralized thinking is the real attack vector. Not governments. Not banks. Complacency.

spam was never the debate ? utxo set small ? no benefit from oob ? which btc ry talking about ? 😂

Agreed knots is retarded and too centralized

Decentralization is good except with the code. Yeah sounds like people have money on the line and are terrified of losing it all. The pushback is real

Money not cat pics bruh.

Ah! It worked on my fourth attempt

Spam came with the inscriptions exploit which the compromised Core devs refused to fix. Before that filters work and transactions were monetary as it can be seen. Now we have the Core V30 from the compromised Core devs that is an attack on Bitcoin. BIP110 fixes it.

My node my choice

BIP110 doesn't actually fix anything. It just tries to prevent some people from transacting, even though they're willing to pay the fee. That itself sounds quite backwards thinking, shouldn't we try to build system that would have less discrimination on who/why/when transactions are happening 🤔

This is what happens when we fight for scraps. I was hoping bull market + increase in transaction volumes would take us out of this madness. Instead we are heading for a brutal bear market with contentious fork -> chain and community split -> even more drama and selling.
