(But to be clear you cannot use the oracles key as a signing key for schnorr — it obviously doesn’t compose)
Did you know that Dryja's discreet log contracts are fundamentally unsound?
OK now the click has been well and truly baited, I'll try to contextualize: DLCs are unsound in a theoretical sense that I'...

I later found though there’s a bunch issues if you try and combine events from the some oracle (treat the some of anticipated signatures as a conjunction of the two outcomes).

Very bad strategy.
Don’t trust verify is a good strategy actually. What can we learn from chiming in that we don’t know already? The fundamentals are all established by now. What remains is to make a quantum computer.

Enough of the quantum slop already. We need actual quantum computing engineers or physicists to chime in to the quantum debates in Bitcoin.
While tens of thousands of real physicists work on quantum ...
Nah no need for anyone to chime in. Compute something with a quantum computer or stfu.

TIL that the next generation image format, JPEG XL, is partly based on pre-Bitcoin work by Pieter Wuille (specifically, it's partly based on FLIF, which Wuille co-developed).
Put those jpegs in op returns and we’d have come full circle.

So even though claude is better now you still need codex just to read it's output. I'm not reading all that.
New meta: run claude code and codex side by side on the same project and tell codex what claude is doing in the other terminal and ask it "how fucked am I?" so you are emotionally prepared when it breaks everything.

Many people! I would certainly put sats towards such an effort. The winning tx could collect them all at once.
That would help. I still think designing prediction markets would reveal the perceived probability over time and so would be a big improvement over pure donations. Doing them on-chain cleanly so you can sell the position is impossible to do without sophisticated covenants though.

Freezing coins (theft) is right up there as giant red flags for those of us in Bitcoin who value its *unconfiscatable* property
The “it might damage the price” reasoning confirms that these chang...
Aren’t you proposing that dormancy does abdicate ownership? Since if a quantum computer takes them they will certainly no longer be the owner.

The idea of an activation challenge is interesting. But my preferred form would be an on-chain reward. A tx which uses its first input's txid to generate the puzzle NUMS, so you can't just copy it. No...
who funds the on-chain reward in your mind? I was suggesting facilitating prediction markets as the best way becuase it conveys information about what speculators think while also providing a reward.
