I don't really see a that solution is possible without sacrificing decentralization and/or uncensorablity. And that I am not willing to do. I am quite certain that fees are going up at some stage, and that will solve the problem. Bip110 is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. You don't need to...

Which still allows piss, and flattened poop. So does not really do anything.

❓Question. Do you have doors but no lock in them? Because what do you even need that lock for? I know at least three ways to bypass it.

Actually, why do you need doors at all? Are they reinforced anti-burglary ones or made of cardboard? Hang a piece of cloth in their place - it’ll be cheaper. Because if someone wants to get in, they’ll get in anyway, and they’ll just destroy the door, which is a waste of money and time to replace. A piece of cloth costs $5 and you don’t need to call a professional to install it.

In countries like Venezuela, people have bars on their windows because they know that without them they are an easy target for thieves. In this way, they signal that thieves are not welcome. This system has its sad side. Such bars on windows are often seen in countries with high crime rates.

On the other hand, in countries like Norway, people often don’t lock their doors at all, and the doors simply serve to keep the heat from escaping in winter.

Bitcoin’s situation is much closer to the Venezuelan variant than the Norwegian one. We need to arm ourselves because the environment we operate in has its eye on us and wants to destroy us. BIP-110 is the equivalent of window bars, locks, and reinforced doors. When fiat collapses, we can think about whether to replace the doors with a piece of cloth.

Run Knots Node. Run BIP-110. Repel spammers.

Bad analogy, methinks. More like making your letter box have a thinner slot to stop someone taking a dump through your door.

Quantum is a monster living under your bed you tell kids to scare them.

I’m focused on increasing number of nodes and local adoption by businesses. So far it’s going better than expected. Wish me luck.

Whoever you are and wherever you are. I wish you all best my friend. Bless you and Godspeed.

There’s always something else that seems more important: price action, Bitcoin-backed loans, a new Treasury company.

Meanwhile, to me, the current spam situation poses the biggest threat to Bitcoin since the Blocksize wars. We really need to win this one plebs. I think we will, but we need to keep on pushing.

Are most Bitcoin influencers just going to stay quiet about the Andy Back allegations and hope that it goes away? That's a great way of showing utter contempt for your audience. It's not going to work...

Has your favorite influencer ever mentioned BIP-110?
Have they ever taken a stance in the war against spam?
Do they dismiss the Epstein files as irrelevant to Bitcoin?

Ask yourself those questions pleb. Be mindful of who you listen to.

Be careful who packs your parachute.
