apparently if you dont think you should include ordinals, runes and other shitcoining on Bitcoin as p2p transactions,

you're "moving the goalposts"

sometimes I think people just say things without knowing what they mean.

Man, that's a lot of tears. Relax bro, it's just nostr.

I hope you have someone at hand to wipe the spittle off your chin.

Come back when you have a reason why creating an ordinal is a p2p tx,

but buying a bag of weed isn't.

I don't want to take part in either transaction, thanks though.

I'm still pretty pissed about that spam, but it doesn't seem to have done any damage.

yeah I agree.

I call it spam too but I also think people can record whatever they want on the chain.

It moves the date forward, when we have to run pruned nodes. It was probably always destined to happen. I would like to see more realistic conversation about this.

IF the pace of storage and bandwidth improvement don't keep up with the growth of the chain.

which seems pretty unlikely.

My understanding is most technical people agree we need to eventually increase blocksize. It's just a question of timing it right. Shenanigans will continue I'm afraid .

I'm not so sure about that. I see no practical reason for bigger blocks. Buying coffee on chain was never a realistic expectation, and I'm pretty sure Satoshi said a second layer would be needed for that.

Idk what the physical limit of memory is, but its out there somewhere. Personally, I'm not willing to buy more, more often than every few years. I'm already pruning my node, when its even working. I'm not a technical wizard, so I'm probably representative of what people will actually do. Devs always seem to have some unrealistic idea of what will happen. We need more nodes, and we need better nodes ; what bigger blocks delivers is fewer nodes, and worse (pruned).
