Who are the spammers? How are they manipulating people?

DagzTagz 8mo ago

Other projects outside of bitcoin have used value based mechanisms for combatting spam FOR YEARS

this is well known in the developer community

Currently people use witness data at a discount

The way to combat spam is make it costly

The problem with the PR as is is that it introduces extreme hardware constraints

So you have an entire community of people (aside from projects like libbitcoin) ignoring the real existential crisis, layering the conversation with dense technical word salad, all while ignoring where real bloat comes from at a discount

Forcing people to use the op_return makes it costly to spam

Bitcoin is a value based system and value based systems depend on hard coded value mechanisms to defend the network

Things like Standardness (policy) were created as short term mechanisms to reduce load until we have better solutions

Grifters gonna grift. Now can we get back to the real work and show people like Eric Voskuil and libbitcoin et al real world support please

You didn’t answer my question

DagzTagz 8mo ago

Yes I did… people shoving shit into the witness data at a discount

Of course that depends on what you define as spam

Every transaction that hits the chain is a “valid transaction” technically speaking

But personally speaking IMO most things that aren’t transactional data are attempts at bloating the UTXO set

Making constraints on people who build hardware

I’m a hardware girl I’ve been a hardware girl my whole life

Hardware is my concern and software needs to be compatible

What people? How many? Very vague statements. Context needed.

DagzTagz 8mo ago

👀 you’re exposing yourself

HoloKat 8mo ago

Exposing as what exactly? All I see are vague statements by people who claim technical superiority but fail to provide any actual numbers to back anything they say. Just “spammers”

DagzTagz 8mo ago

This is exactly what I’m talking about. You and I both know that you’re capable of getting into the open source metrics and looking at what I’m talking about yourself…

But you’d rather delay my day and my contributions to have a silly fucking argument with you

2017 fucking called and they want their bullshit back

HoloKat 8mo ago

I didn’t make any statements about spammers, you did. Why should I spend any time to back up your statements?

Same vibes as here’s my proof, go read and watch these videos and articles.

DagzTagz 8mo ago

I don’t need to I can read code

This was anticlimactic. I thought I was gonna get some names

DagzTagz 8mo ago

I don’t dox people unlike some motherfuckers on here

HoloKat 8mo ago

Doxing spammers bad.

DagzTagz 8mo ago

That we at least can both agree on

At the bottom of all conversations is at least one morsel of truth to walk away with

Doxxing anyone on the internet is evil

Also I’m not a developer and never claimed to be one. I do my best to understand technical information as it is presented to me - it’s my job a lot of times to interpret it to laymen terms. And so far I haven’t seen any definitive arguments. Just people calling people stupid. Which in itself is stupid.
