If people can bully you into a position, that position isn't really yours is it?
I think the thing is, Jimmy, that there isn't really an anti-BIP-110 side so much as a 'this is a useless futile attempt and we're gonna make fun of you for wasting your energy' side and a pro-BIP-110 side.
Like...it may break a small set of presigned tx's. And that's reckless only because it doesn't do anything it tries to.
Jpeg's? Still there -- so much for CSAM
Ordinals? 1% cheaper -- congrats.
Runes? Yea, still there.
Do I need to freak out if it activates though? No -- it really only affects me at all if it's a really messy activation and I transact during those hours. So yea, there's no URSF for good reason there.
The noise has more to do with addressing the myriad inaccuracies. 'One node one vote.' 'Soft forks don't cause splits.' 'Core changed Bitcoin.' There's a lot of utter BS being spread around through some pretty loud megaphones. Not sure what the goal of militarizing the ignorant here has been but it's not something I intend ti sit back about. The code itself is whatever. I think it highly unlikely to do anything but if a miner surprises me with their lack of rational self interest toward self preservation it wouldn't shock me too much. It's an obvious bluff with minimal economic weight and will just evaporate unless miners collude to edge out competition using a chainsplit to do it. Something they could always do, and something that is akin to a double spend 51% attack. But being sure about what humans will do is a fool's errand.
You aren't obligated to jump in though fwiw. It'll resolve itself anyway. And I'm sure you'd rather not let something this silly destroy friendships. Besides, 110'ers are going to need a node to run when they come back, and they're a great pool to build a userbase from given they sure won't be looking to adopt Core.
So yea, I think you're being smart. A more diplomatic road than I take, but hardly one you have to diverge from. Curious to see what y'all come up with.
