We need op codes, not block space.

We must squeeze out every single byte of block space as efficiently as we can.

Hi,

one question please:

When I try to update the LightningTipBot in the BlueWallet I get the following message (see picture). When trying to import again, the same message comes up. Is the problem on my side or do you have information about it?

The LNDhub API is broken right now but it will be fixed very soon. Zeus still seems to work for making and receiving payments. Please bear with me 🤙

Thank you for the fast answer. No stress, just wanted to ask what the problem is. I really appreciate your work and I like the LightningTipBot 🤘.

I'll wait and I'll be happy when everything is up and running again 🤙!

I support anything you say even if I don’t understand it fully😅💜

Transactions today take less block space than when bitcoin started, because of some very clever cryptography tricks that are backwards compatible (think about older, slower USB devices and newer faster USB devices still working together and fitting in the same plug) with the original network. Increasing the amount of block space is a lazy way of trying to get more transactions; since it isn't backwards compatible it creates political strife because you are forcing people to upgrade, and that is dangerous to a network built on consent to a common set of rules.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Made so much sense omg. Bless you for educating me, I’m a newbie and appreciate it greatly. 💜

Yep, and cramming arbitrary data into the witness section is the exact opposite.

Any specific opcode that you have in mind?
