It’s pretty crazy that the sitting treasury secretary is tweeting about white paper day.
Discussion
What the government can't control, it must contain.
Bitcoin is a "Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" NOT Electronic Trash System. Happy #WhitepaperDay
@cb
I’m not on X, but does he tweet about the founding day of Ethereum or XRP?
Nice catch.
That’s big news 🗞️
Imagine thinking that this would happen just 12 months ago!
Wild how good we've got it now.
Wild that price has barely moved in 12 months!
now, if he could only cease with the buggery!
wild
Why does he say hash rate is irrelevant?
The Core team is likely compromised
Because the hashrate has nothing to do with node runners
Bitcoin is more useful than ever!
It is wild, pretty crazy and worrying.
The reason why I don't like the USD, is not the paper it is printed on, the name nor the medium. It is the deceiving people behind.
Fuck Luke.
All the useful idiots against Luke, again. Give a second though, you complacent sheeps. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqvtw30knexxgwasss0qwafnz68hdx6u25xwpclsz4750ez46qpx2qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqswz9a737j7cjp5qcx6qnugg89ye6acchummx2yuju83cythzwxm6g00q5l0
Hey Scott, look at here, I'm a big fan of yours!! Cheerlader of this scumbags, madre mia.
beta af
I run knots. I don’t want dumb shit on the bitcoin blockchain. I want hard money. I earn bitcoin through my practice. I mine on ocean. I must be so dumb. A pleb slop consoooming pleb
I don’t give a fuck about spam on the bitcoin blockchain; I never have
if you’re retarded and want to pay fees to put non-monetary bullshit into blocks, you have the right to do so
this is the only correct answer
Of course, for someone who doesn' run a node, doesn't own BTC, and is a puppet of venture capitalists and politicians. May they burn in hell, traitors!
Yup. I don't like it. but that does not give me the right to tell people what the heck they can do with their monies.
#Spam 4 sale hmu
Thank you. I cannot figure who the retards are who want this shit…..but nor do I care……1Btc = 100,000,000 sats.
What am I missing?
As long as someone pays everything is fine. That's the kind of mindset the fiat era has brought us. Any sense for right and wrong has gone as long as it pays. How much too come to your house and shit on your floor? I bet you would be happy to allow it if they pay you well, right?
TXs have fees; that is its own PoW
right or wrong - as decreed by anyone - does not factor into it, or matter
so if I go to a business offering girls to be raped and I pay the fee, I have the right to do so because I paid the fee?
Where do you believe this “right” is derived from?
what part of “permissionless” do you not understand?
Permissionless and a right aren’t the same thing. You seem to not understand my question. Sorry if you got triggered by your own words.
there is no right; there are no rulers to bestow rights unto the users of open-source software
sorry if you misunderstood bitcoin
I didn’t misunderstand you being a retard with you words. First it’s a right then it’s not. Calling anything permissionless they requires change In core code is also retard. I was actually trying to get to an intelligent conversation but you’re hell bent In showing how far left of the bell curve you are. 🫡
anyone willing to pay to put spam on the blockchain can do so at their own discretion - period; I can’t presume to know what’s right or wrong, as no-one should suppose to do so
it is a right, but not granted by anyone
run core; run knots; run *an* iteration - it does not matter
It’s absolutely a permission granted by core devs. I honestly thought that was the point you were trying to make but obviously not. Anything that makes it harder for new users to run a node shouldn’t be ignored. Core and knots both have their issues, we need more options and non retarded users who don’t ignore attack vectors. You are actually make the exact same argument as csw but don’t seem to realize it, or you’re just as fucked up. Not really sure at this point
Looks to me like he doesn't want to understand.
I tend to agree first it’s a right, then it’s not. Then I don’t understand bitcoin. Now he’s too dumb to have an opinion on what anyone does with bitcoin. More a circle jerk than a discussion.
Its not a right. Here I just got finished tapping this out :
Is a the witness field generally larger in spam txns or financial ones?
If larger, why does bitcoin give spam a discount?
If smaller, the spam fees are in consequential.
lol Luke
Peak autism? Luke hasn’t been physically performant for a decade. Could his mental health be declining?
Luke has gone totally unhinged. I will never trust any of his code or anything he says again.
and why is that exactly?
Luke is extremely stressed out about Bitcoin Core V30. I'm not sure what level of alarm to assign to this, BIP 444, the shitty Core Devs ... and the status of my stack.
Perhaps Bessent and his cohort are the true backers of Core V30. I dunno.
Core 30 is blackrock
It's about centralising node running
Without a doubt .. there are heavy players on the scene. It's sort of a shame that retail never really got going. Even if retail bought and just stored on Swan/River/Strike ... we would have been in better shape.
What is irksome, now, is the nonchalance of several podcasters and personalities that I follow. It can only be explained by their being "on the take." They're technically way more advanced than I am .. and yet ... not even motivated to address the issue with seriously .
I would have expected a 3rd version of Node software by now .... promulgated by people who oppose Core but are no fans of Luke either. Maybe these are all the peeps running Core version <30 .. who actually constitute the overwhelming majority at this point in time.
nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgewaehxw309aek2mnyd96zumn0wdnxcctjv5hxxmmd94lnue said he was going to fund a third version. I think it’ll takes sometime time to come through. Ya I’m waiting for that too.
Or Knots is about centralizing mining because it incentivises OOB transaction markets.
Is that why they are proposing a consensus change to limit op_return?
Not sure about Luke's motivations, but the reason core changed mempool defaults is to even the playing field for miners.
This is complete bullshit and I don't care about miners. Blowing out OP_Return is introducing spam to the blockchain .. same as BSV did and they're all loaded with CSAM. The maggots at Core are all getting paid by Citrea, they're shit-coiners who probably don't own Bitcoin.
Citrea doesn't depend on Op_return, they can use use unspendable taproot outputs instead and bloat the UTXO set, I think that's actually how it's currently implemented but haven't checked.
You'll care about miners if there's only one or two big ones that no one can compete with and the State can just hijack to mine empty blocks.
Bring able to estimate fees correctly is also pretty important.
And aside from all this, if people actually wanted a viable alternative to Core and weren't just mindlessly following a renegade cult because it makes them feel good then they'd use libbitcoin not knots.
Let's fire Core. Run the Drivechain activation client.
Luke is 100% right.
That hash rate has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
Saying "hurrr duur the hashrate is high that means we should turn Bitcoin into a childporn hosting service"
Is fucking absolutely retarded and you should be ashamed of yourself nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx for pushing this shit
Luke rhymes with puke
TICK TOCK. NEXT BLOCK.
Has CSW taken over Luke's account?
Took me by surpise
Haha, well I think there are senators who are way ahead of Bitcoin in terms of longevity, spending decades in office without ever doing what they've promised "voters"
Unreal, still half expecting someone to say the account was hacked or fake
Real? 🤣
Have to ask.
True that’s pretty cool. Thank you satoshi weve come far 🧡🫂
I thought this was a meme at first myself hahah.
Crazy times, and we are still early💫
🤩🫡
Gay...literally.
Oh what a bless, the Soros bankers endorsing Bitcoin. We aware of this leaches.
🙌🙌🙌
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Just using it as a "slam" against political opponents. Bitcoin doesn't care and, apparently, neither do I. *yawn*
I can’t believe it. What a time to be alive
Bull shit 💩
Not crazy when you actually pay attention to what they wrote.
Makes sense.
If it can be used to ridicule the opposition, sure.
bitcoin doesn't care.
