Im too dumb to take a side here so ill do nothing

Odell didnt have problem welcoming "Andy" Back on Citadel dispatch and now he is accusing you for working for Thiel lol.

I unfollowed and muted him when I saw that. He’s been saying more and more sketchy shot over the last year. Wtf is going on??

Influencers influencing influencers

You really worked for Thiel? That would seem to be a no-exit scenario. He's a super villain.

Maybe they genuinely believe the spam issue is not a crisis. Ever consider that Matthew? Sub 1 sat/vB… when has an arbitrary price floor ever been beneficial in voluntary economic activity? Why would CSAM be hardcoded?? You’re overly concerned about plebs’ interactions with sequences of bits on the blockchain but completely ignore the rails for those bits that on occasion facilitate the most heinous behavior. Why would authorities or people we want to become bitcoiners ever make that distinction?

I've slain so many heroes these past few months that my heart has no more room left for all those graveyards. :(

Hahahah, very dumb of you!

110 is an attack on Bitcoin

It is kilobytes.

It is the only real threat currently.

I'm not in favour of BIP110, and I'm also not in favour of Peter Thiel type companies using Bitcoin as a decentralised immutable memory module. I started working to further Bitcoin because uncensorable money seemed like a good idea when the government made me show a vaccine QR code in order to buy food. However I did not sign-up to Bitcoin being used by Palantir in order to carry out genocide (i.e. Palestine, Ukraine) and build totalitarian control grids, that are known by many techno-theologians as 'The Beast System'. Why don't you put your Citrea use case on the Liquid network? At least there it'll have guardrails insofar as the functionaries will have an opportunity to do an emergency pause? https://youtu.be/luspw3GWApw

Good way to reframe the question

The bitcoin influencers are fighting again

You encapsulated what has been bothering me over the last year. Odell was one of my faves and must be the reason I am even sending this note on nostr right now. But him having no strong public opinion on the unfolding mess over the past few years doesn't make sense when he is so hardcore on other things, like ditching Twitter entirely for Nostr. He didn't need to support Knots or BIP-110, but avoiding the topic felt like it was meant to avoid criticizing his friends. I understand and respect that, if that is indeed what is happening, but it's damaged his credibility on bitcoin and freedom tech, at least for me.

Ok let's say Odell is right and its an attack on bitcoin. You get a minority of node runners running a soft fork and reorg the chain by legally threatening miners by spamming the non fork chain with csam. If that's an valid attack surface how do you prevent governments from doing it a hell of a lot more effectively? @04c915da…3dfbecc9 @Matthew Kratter @472f440f…5669301e

The Problem Bitcoin core with overwhelming network use (98%) increases the default op return limit from 83 to 100k. Why? The number one reason as stated by Jameson Lopp on “The ‘What is Money?’ Show”, Citrea’s protocol needed large blobs of data widely distributed and relayed in the P2P network. Only in rare cases would that data actually need to be mined and added to a block. I believe every other reason given was a “fake because” to justify reason number one. Best solution so far is Bip 110. For those that don’t like it they need to put forth a better solution. Saying it’s not a problem, or it sucks but there is nothing you can do makes me question everything about you. To be fair I could be wrong about everything.

v30 failed on social knots bip110 immune reaction consensus: core eating humble pie 🪢🛡️⚒️🌊🤷‍♂️

mm, that tracks

Bitcoin runs on FOSS. There are too many businesses trying to profit from bitcoin without actually acquiring any. VC are turning their investment capital into spam dust hoping for radical asymmetry modeled from OpenSea. The VC transactions are financing miners who will be exiting stage left with each halving. Odell blasts Strategy for accummulating BTC, but not business actors making actual protocol changes and hacks that put bitcoin at risk. The Core vs Knots "debate" is corporate VC stonewalling to the max. All this AI generated filth (Runes and other stupid shit) is not good for nodes. The backed up sewer mempool and a UTXO bloat on its way to 90% spam does not seem to be an issue worthy of discussion to these people. There is only one simple solution, which is to follow Szabo and Rug the Spammers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dYA9vYa0iwQ

few 🪢🛡️⚒️🌊 🤣

And what about lightning network features that depends on OP_RETURN?

“Don’t change Bitcoin here’s my change for Bitcoin” Odell is correct, he’s also correct about how you’ll lose.

Avoid criticizing his friends is one thing. Making claims that Luke and Mechanics do what they do for ulterior motives is really low.
