You can just do things - without the approval of Matt Corallo.
Discussion
Absolutely, certainly wasn’t trying to argue otherwise. Tons of people do things I disapprove of, hell I’ve consistently encouraged Spiral (and others) to fund things I think won’t have a substantial impact (because sometimes I’m wrong, and it’s good to fund people to get them into the ecosystem and see what they build later in any case). My point here was that if we build things that improve things along a single dimension (which I still disagree this actually is) we should be doing so with a goal of later improving other dimensions so that actual net privacy improves. Sadly in this case the only solution to the other issues is decentralized pools which also subsume the value of ecash pool shares!
I learned a lot from this debate. Lurking on Nostr can be highly educational.
