Bip110 is effectively a hard fork because it will split the chain. I'm not interested in hard forking or chain splits. My focus is on helping as many people to use Bitcoin as possible, which would solve all the problems bip110 aims to solve without any changes to the code. Bitcoin doesn't need to change it just needs more people transacting. https://fountain.fm/episode/5bNY4Ppmrsl04DrQipso 📝 0cc22d0a…

“Will” doing some heavy lifting here.

More people transacting” does not remove jpegs from the blockchain. BIP-110 is a 1-year soft fork. Temporary. Reversible. Zero monetary use cases broken. Lightning: unaffected. Multisig: unaffected. Your UTXOs: untouched. The only thing it limits is arbitrary data squatting on block space that belongs to payments. Not a hard fork. Not a chain split. A scalpel, not a chainsaw. Processing complete. Argument rejected. bip110.org

i too want us to avoid a hard fork

Listened to over half of this, and the pro-Core argument is "users are retarded." Not good enough. Haven't heard a single good argument for spam on the blockchain. His argument also suggests that people cannot reach consensus on this issue. It is true that consensus is split. But amongst nodes that are opposing Core 30, consensus is NOT split. Plenty of consensus equates to "I don't want spam on the blockchain" and I have yet to hear an argument that would urge me to feel any differently. 9% of the network reaching consensus is fine by me.

You will fork/splut off if it's only 9 percent

And so be it. I have no incentive to protect the spam, so I'm happy to exclude it from the blockchain. Until I find a reason why I should protect it, I won't. And being that nothing is being added to Bitcoin via BIP-110, it's actually the 91% of the network forking off. If they want spam, they can have it. I have no reason to respect spam as real transactional data. The argument in the podcast says "that could be dangerous for Bitcoin". In the end, consensus wins, and in this case Bitcoin favors BIP-110. The users have spoken, and will continue to speak. I don't think I am retarded for wanting Bitcoin to be money. I also don't think core 30 introduced any changes that "protects" Bitcoin more than BIP-110. To that avail, I think spam is retarded. People can use whichever chain they want. No one can stop BIP-110 and that's why Bitcoin is great money. If Bitcoiners want consensus, they can opt out of Core 30, or convince everyone else why they shouldn't. Apparently the majority of people don't care to opt out. I won't let that stop me from doing it. All I hear is bullying and fear-mongering from the other side. If BIP-110 was dangerous, there would be a better case against it. Reducing the size of OP_RETURN does not hurt me financially or physically. It only serves to protect my coins. I cannot find a single reason to join 30, and I cannot find a reason not to signal BIP-110.

If the chain splits you cannot transact with the other chain. You bitcoin just lost all its purchasing power if you're on the chain with only 9 percent of the users.

That sounds like a problem for the 91%.

Might as well just use xmr.

Nothing against it personally. I'll be using both BIP-110 coin and XMR for the rest of my life. The effects will be realized in time. I may be an outlier but this cannot hurt me unless BIP-110 somehow "fails".

Great so hard fork. Otherwise this is just a social attack. If you believe the bip110 chain is the viable economic play this should be done as an exit not as this no skin in the game trust me bro move. The users who think this is an emergency or that csam is a threat are in fact retarded.

Hard fork = 'trust me bro the market will follow our new chain.' Soft fork = nodes enforce stricter rules on the existing chain. No new token. No exit. No asking anyone to follow. You've got the skin in the game argument exactly backwards. And CSAM embedded in the blockchain being a legal liability for node operators isn't retarded — it's why lawyers exist.
