Where? I have been asking this question since January… still haven’t heard a legit excuse. You have one?

Gambling is fiat as fuck.

Nah. Not gonna happen. Rdts activates no matter what.

lol fiat thinking? No. I’m saying that the discount is necessary to be a swift and efficient l medium of exchange. What good is Bitcoin if it costs 10% of your transaction to buy a cup of coffee? Literally no purpose other than a store of value in which case it’s no longer p2p cash. It needs to be both MOE and SOV.

The real bloat is coming from arbitrary data. Segwitt discount isn’t arbitrary.

I’m talking about lightning fees… they are low due to the discount. If BTC loses lightning and is no longer a fast and cheap medium of exchange, then it’s going backwards. Different issue than the spam issue. The spam causes actual bloat with no monetary purpose. The Segwitt discount serves a very important purpose. If you could lower that without effecting lightning fees, I’d an agree, but you can’t.

Says the guy selling bitcoin loans on his podcast lol 😂 talk about useless shit

It’s not a free lunch. That data is necessary for low cost transactions and Bitcoin being used as a medium of exchange. Without it every other shitcoin would be cheaper to use as money. And nostr wouldn’t even be able to run zaps lol

Without it lightning would be more expensive. It’s what keeps opening and closing channels low.

False. the witness discount is what makes the protocol efficient enough for mass adoption by keeping the costs of interacting with the base layer (opening/closing channels) low. You could technically run a version of Lightning without the discount, but it would be significantly more expensive to use.

lol no your not… no URSF 😜

Stop listening to @Jack K lol , it would kill lightning. It’s not that simple.

No core divided the network. They opened op return for a single company, lied about it and refused to put the limit back.
