Not agreeing or disagreeing here but wanted to think out loud and get your thoughts.

Suppose we have a variable block size. What would it hinge on? Keeping transaction fees in a certain range? It feels like that could be gamed by pools who move their own funds back and forth to keep a baseline demand up and then we fill nodes faster than we currently do.

If we're worried about keeping a sufficient baseline hash rate when total block rewards are so low, the heatpunks would argue there will be a large group of heaters subsidizing the network.

Guess I'm trying to understand the mechanics of a market driven block size. I worry about premature optimization with bitcoin but it makes sense to hash out the details long before we may need them.

What’s the status on Utreexo these days? It seemed like a cool project but I never see any mention of it these days.

Congrats, Andreas! Thank you for all of your hard work 🙏

So much for the “sovereign” part of the sovereign wealth fund.

🤔 this reads like a bill supporting #cashu

This is how states who can’t print their own currency end up building a “strategic reserve” by squeezing coins from those who own them.

Beware of governments wanting to create reserves. Instead of pumping your bags they might just cut a hole in them.

You provided a great service to the community and we were lucky to have your services. Good luck with your future endeavors!
