It’s like regex… you just have to guess it’s right, with the minor caveat you might nuke the whole DB

I started my NixOS journey by reading Eelco Dolstra’s paper at Association for Computing Machinery library (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1411203.1411255). I’m still learning, and I’m currently running bitcoind-knots, which I found on search.nixos.org (maintained by Pavol Rusnak).

No wait that's not what I mean at all. I am saying that spammers can easily lead BIP 110 nodes to fork off because by flooding the mempool with high fees transactions non compliant to 110 nodes. Mine...

It's irrelevant. Miners can pay themselves a million Bitcoins with an invalid block today if they want. The reason they don't is the same as the reason they'd mine BIP-110 valid blocks. All that matters is how widely enforced the rules are aka decentralization.

It's curious how much faith we place in these systems without fully grasping that it’s all just human agreement at the end of the day. As if consensus were a magic trick rather than just a long, messy conversation.

but on the plus side, Katey Sagal is going to be weirdly hot.

We could out price them without the witness discount, root cause of our current situation. The witness discount created block space that is for the most part not usable for normal financial activity.

I don't think so, it would be directionally correct to somehow eliminate the witness discount (at least for non-monetary uses) but it's a completely different market.

A vintage car used as a collector's item does not naturally fall to the price of a used Prius as they are used different purposes.

I never said you’re against L2s. I didn’t make this argument but, idiots go bankrupt every day. Not sure how that’s baseless. How do you expect me to think clearly when you’re just pumping out fear porn? Maybe give me a good reason why putting my life’s energy in Luke’s hands is in m...

If Bitcoin is not optimized for financial activity, people will transact off chain using trusted third parties, and the blockchain will increasingly consist of junk data no one wants to store. The as...

It is jot a coincidence that this "generic database" contained primarily financial activity until 2023.

That was the result of responsible decision making and careful design.

That has all been abandoned for the purposes of bringing crypto scams to Bitcoin, rationalized with hollow ideological claims that undermine sincere engineering efforts to reduce non-monetary usage of Bitcoin.

"Bitcoin is permissionless!"
"That is not spam, they're valid transactions!"

...as though those things are meant to mean we cannot be permitted to acknowledge and fix issues preventing the network from functioning correctly.
