You seem right to me about the three words. Mainly about decentralized and Nostr. People say they don’t want censorship, but in fact they don’t really know what that means in practice.

Agreed. Shipping > ideology. If the UX tanks, no one cares about your backend. Build tools that actually solve problems first, then let the architecture speak for itself through reliability.

Hard forks não mudam o consenso da Bitcoin. A rede opera com 2 sat/vB em ambas as taxas, mantendo a segurança e a descentralização intactas, independentemente de forks laterais.

To never include it, they'd have to be economically irrational since they're also deciding not to collect the fees, not just from your transaction, but from ALL the transactions since their version of the transfer block won't be voted on favorably by other miners. They will also lose all the miners who are mining to their pools since that means less revenue for those miners.

Note that your nightmare scenario can't be done by one miner. My understanding is that if at least 51% of hashrate/blocks support the transfer, it goes through. If 51% of miners are colluding against your transaction and block it , they can do that regardless of anything specific to drivechains. On normal L1, A smaller hashrate miner could publish a valid block with your tx, but if 51% of hashpower is dedicated to NOT allowing your coins to move, they will build on the parent block and the one with your tx in it gets orphaned, not because it's invalid, just because it doesn't have the highest PoW.

In most situations, you would not moves coins between chains this way anyways, you would use atomic swaps or a dex.

With drivechains, miners vote to allow coins to move to and from a sidechain, same people you trust to produce blocks and run the network. There's no small federation like liquid, it's all the miners just like regular mining. If you can't trust miners to be honest/economically rational, the whole Bitcoin model falls apart anyways.

Drivechains (eCash/BIP300) will unlock a major surface for development of Bitcoin as a technology both in terms of scaling and capability while retaining the 21M coin cap and keeping the existing chain exactly as it is. Why should you be excited about it?

- It will put an end to holy wars seeking to establish 50%+ hashrate dominance for consensus changes. USERS will be able to decide which sidechain they use, if any. One transaction at a time. Bitcoin can try new things without requiring a change to consensus.

- UTXO space is SOLVED. Every user can have a wallet which can receive instantly, no need for buying inbound liquidity.

- Bitcoin will become a privacy coin and a smart contract capable coin. On day one eCash is launching with monero and eth equivalent sidechains.

- It will make Bitcoin more deflationary, since some sidechains will eventually die and take coins with them.

- It will end the brain drain and ossification, forever.
