Is that the side chain addition? 300 & 301? It seems cool to me but people more knowledgeable than me seem to hate it. I would honestly be scared to merge something like that with the base-layer protocol. Too risky.

I want op_vault to merge. Would be a nice check on hardware attacks.

Yeah sidechains. I'm not sure what to think.

A part of me loves the idea, sees it as perfectly acceptable as a voluntary opt-in experiment, and a way to kill all shitcoins. But another part of me thinks it’s a bad idea to add the complexity to base layer money.

In the end (imo) the base layer is sacred and protecting it is more important than destroying shitcoins quickly. They all die eventually anyway.

I'm still quiet new at all this, but I think this is a great point! 🤙

Thanks! I thought about this for quite awhile in the past. Listened to Paul talk about it a bunch, talked to other Bitcoiner’s and really thought it through. Base layer has to be safe guarded above else - from centralization and complexity. That’s the conclusion I arrived to at least.
