Devs can't do that. They can only release free and open source software that users can then voluntarily decide to run-- or not.

What I described are just the basic & rather self evident steps of something becoming money. This is most likely going to take more than a generation (if people can refrian from screwing it up).

That's why it is SO important to recognize the *sensitive dependence on initial conditions* and not nudge things in the wrong direction.

Name one prominent small blocker from the block size war era besides Luke who's now in favour of BIP110?
Jeff Swann profile picture
I am not really in favor of bip110, I prefer the progress that was being made with filters & Knots & DATUM. But most of the OG bitcoiners I know are opposed to spam. It's actually ONLY people prominent enough to have been captured in some form or fashion that seem to be suddenly in support of spam & they only seem to make stupid arguments from authority & try to censor people who disagree with them.

Yes most OG Bitcoiners are against arbitrary data storage on Bitcoin. That’s why we fought to keep blocks small. F(r)ee market economics should do the rest in an open, permissionless and censorship resistant system.

filtering the noise is paramount. trust your instincts, question authority, and build the future you desire.

Just like OP_RETURN isn’t fatal #bip110 is pretty benign. By siding with Bip110 you send a signal. Agains corruption. About the resilience of Bitcoin. Think of it as a test. Next time the Core Devs will kill Bitcoin.

It's a free market for block space. Nobody is prevented from bidding for block space. Garbage is low value by definition and easily outbid.

Idk what your wager has to do with what I am saying. In my view this has always been a problem of *sensitive dependence on initial conditions.*

Is anyone actually claiming that v30 is going to cause a sudden collapse in anything?

I just think it's retarded to increase space for garabge unnecessarily when the previous accidental increase has already created problems & I think removing the ability for people to filter said garabage (and being mad that someone adds back filter options that have always been there) is pretty messed up.

One side is trying to remove individual node options to make the network eaiser to centrally direct & the other is trying to protect real decentealization.
Jameson Lopp · 1d
Yeah, it was Mechanic, Luke, and Kratter last year FUDding that the network would crash due to CSAM and when I offered to bet that it wouldn't, they shut up pretty quickly. If you think that space has been increased for anything, you really don't know what you're talking about. Please go study the ...

The only consistent people in #bitcoin are the people who have been trying to keep node operation as light as possible & limit data costs so that the network will remain decentralized & censorship proof.

They were demonized as "small blockers" during the blocksize war & they are demonized for being pro filter "knotzies" now, but they are right.

Indeed Bitcoin is money not data storage. It's simple and clear. Run Knots + BIP110
Scrotus · 16h
Does knots and/or bip 110 reduce the amount of disk space required to run a node? Does core 30 increase it?

The intentions may have been good but they have been too overzealous. If someone is so poor that can't afford to run a node with slightly larger blocks, they are too busy trying to survive to worry about running a node anyways. Although at least with agents using lightning might get easier, but sc...

Oh the insanity of people signaling that they don't want their nodes on a cypherpunk monetary network to be used to store infinite amounts of garbage...

I'm pretty okay being viewed as crazy by people who are so heavily propagandized that they can't tell the difference between men & women. Stay vegan or vaccinated or whatever.

Blue hair on a human being might be one of the most useful heuristics I have ever come across. Like a poisonous frog.

Can someone explain to the Core self-proclaimed czar that Satoshi designed Bitcoin to be decentralized, meaning to not depend on a signle entity and by running Bitcoin Knots the Bitcoin Plebs are routing around Core? Also by running BIP110 the Bitcoin Plebs are fixing the weakness the Core V30 malwa...

Knowing who is in the fight for freedom & who is an enemy of freedom is pretty simple.

The people who want to make it easier for everyone to mine & to run nodes that audit & record & verify everything in a completely trustless manner are for freedom. The people who want to make it more costly to do those things are enemies of freedom.

It doesn't matter if Satoshi Adam Gregory Szabo Nakamoto Christ says that we should facilitate spamming the network & storing BS on the chain, he's wrong. Node runners should be free to decide what they relay & what they reject.

Does that mean the dems also supported it when they looked the other way during pizzagate & when they elected Biden who is about as obvious a pedo as it gets (daughter's diary - sex trafficking & crackhead son - both behaviors consistent with sexual abuse)?

This is not a left vs right thing. It's a problem involving 95% of the political class being controlled by the eugenicist inbred pedo banker families who established Israel.

End their ability to print money & their political power dies. Fix the money, fix the world.

Anyone have any suggestions for the best way to get a globally usable internet phone number or something close (North & South America being the primary focus)?

I am temporarily using Silent Link for data & intend to switch to a more local service provider, but I would like to set up a SIP number that I can use with pretty much any data plan or service.

Anyone have any experience doing something similar? Are there services that are more or less secure than others or is it all just equally insecure as a general form of communication?

Are texts & calls generally reliable so long as the data connection is good or is it hit & miss?
