BitcoinTalk banning CoinJoins. Miners censoring privacy transactions. Spaceboi wanting to classify mining as a WMD and give control to the military. Government approved ETF will begin the cypherpunk revolution.

#asknostr what the fuck is actually going on?

There isn't a "normal block template" standard I don't know what peter is talking about. Even satoshi talked many times about how miners have full discretion about what they want to mine.

The only way there could be a standard template is if somehow there was a causality protocol that not just selected the set of them but also dictated the ordering. Such a standard would also allow users to spend received coins before the old one gets into a block because it would be by default in precedence order.

also, just a little point about Peter Todd's argument, he's saying first "miner centralisation" and then "transaction censorship" which one comes first. Which one is enabling the other, and not the other way around.

Which is exactly how ocean is helping here. it's called ocean, right, I forget exactly. I say it's a good thing that NOT ONLY the big miners are writing custom template generators.

There is no such thing as a "normal block template". Even Bitcoin Core vs BTCD make a different block out of the same set.

I’m not sure what you mean by "normal block template". Peter seems to be saying IF Bitcoin had a single template, it would work just fine- so what Ocean is doing is unnecessary.

If?
