Doomed in the first place? Hrm. This feels like rewriting history. Human beings made code, reviewed the code, and missed an exploit. There is no need to get all farty and existential over this.

"Missed an exploit" - what is technical fix to this "exploit"? Images have been encoded on bitcoin since before segwit
They're using the witness signature data to pay 1/4 of the fees for using the block space that they use.
I understand (vaguely) the mechanism that enables ordinals/inscriptions. I'm asking how they can be stopped. I haven't heard anyone set forth how they can actually be stopped without a hard fork or other disastrous consequences. But perhaps I missed it.
you'd need to patch the vulnerability in bitcoin core that they're using and then have all miners use the updated version of bitcoin core.
"you'd need to patch the vulnerability" - I'm asking how. How would such a patch function? It's unclear to me how software can identify whether or not witness data contains spammy NFTs. I'm very confused about that.

There are many ways to do it. Everyone has had their input and day. The #miners, the #developers, #lightning and #layer2 etc.
Now it's time again for the Virtuous full #nodes to assert their interest. Just as they did during the block size Wars.
Because The Virtuous full nodes and Bitcoin loyalists ARE! #Bitcoin.
So we must once again, aggressively heal the blockchain of all the damage that's been done to it. By all the aforementioned selfish special interest.
We must aggressively push for the maximum efficiency and economy of the precious blockchain block space. Including further restrictions to heal the blockchain..๐งก๐๐ฆ
Get people to use the chain for high value notary purposes. Currently the market value of ordinals is too high for the prices to dissuade them.
No idea, but the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
We can fix vulnerabilities, but he's saying that if something as trivial as NFTs can kill Bitcoin, then it isn't what we thought it was.
But it is what you thought it was. One of the greatest inventions since the invention of the wheel..๐งก๐๐๐
Let's say I submit a patch to a calculator application that inadvertently breaks comma separators and I got the PR yeeted to prod. Why don't you tell me which of the following statements are reasonable and which ones are batshit lunacy:
1) this is good for calculator!
2) if calculator cant handle a comma bug, calculator was doomed from the start
3) calculator is working exactly as intended!
4) we should have an erudite and measured conversation about addressing this issue
As you can probably tell, the bitcoin community has made this little test very easy
WE ARE NOT WORTHY..๐๐๐๐ญ
