How is he not correct? I’m genuinely trying to understand
Just wait a few months and report back on if Bitcoin is dead.
Spoiler alert
It won't be
Wow a 3 month Lopp guarantee on bitcoin not immediately failing?!
Us pleb node runners want to see bitcoin working in 150-300 years. Not three months.
Stop prioritizing shitcoiners and miners and maybe bitcoin will last long.
Running knots.
I get that you’re confident it won’t be dead, and I agree, but I haven’t heard the argument against the CSAM point yet. Can you enlighten me? Again, I’m just trying to figure out if it is hysteria or a legit risk
It's hysteria.
The same exact argument could be applied to IPFS. And yet, the IPFS network has been running without interruptions for many years.
Anybody who is defending statism and centralized control is a danger to Bitcoin.
Outside of doomsday pandering, and security vulnerabilities that you have outlined previously, what is wrong with running a bitcoin client that allows node runners increased control of what they choose to relay? Is the problem specifically with Luke Dashjr or is there something technical or philosophical that I am missing?
It has a small negative impact on block propagation and fee estimation accuracy, but it's not a critical issue.
The bigger issue is believing that your node's relay policies are able to stop others from getting their transactions confirmed.
But they can and always will though. Isn't that what Nodes are about? If the network culturally decides that certain transactions are money and others aren't that's completely technically possible. And more, with Nostr that becomes even easier because people will choose nodes for their transactions based on culture.
You obviously know this, you just disagree with the direction it's being taken.
And that's completely fine too. Now with that said, or more specifically with the understanding that people, the masses, the votes because nodes are cheap to setup AND users can choose them specifically, i.e nodes can definitely decide Bitcoin's direction, that it's really just a cultural thing and not a technical thing, and thus nodes can and will always be needed to steer Bitcoin's direction, my question is:
Why aren't you inspiring the world for the change you want to bring to Bitcoin?
That's the part that I really don't understand. In other words, why are you just criticizing their arguments and not trying to understand them and perhaps accomodate them and create a better alternative with all sides considered?
In other words, what's your vision? What's your better alternative?
I think it is fair to say that nodes that do not engage in mining to not have a say in what gets confirmed. What I think the argument is centering around is why should node configurability be limited in such a way that particular transactions that node runners find detestable be relayed by their node.
If someone wanted to run a side chain shitcoin, a pot smoking monkey jpeg, or illegal/copyrighted material using gobbldeygook in op_return why should anyone be forced to relay that on their $85 lenovo?
I understand the dangers of a single dev client, but the clogging up op_return should also come under scrutiny for anyone serious about bitcoin's future as a monetary network as opposed to a public notary.
Maybe its just like Luke says, Core is full of pedophiles who can't wait to share CSAM with each other. Now GFY shitcoiner.
See those two CSAM excusers. Lopp and Vitalik, two shitcoiners.
The hero we where all waiting for lol
This is like if Ben McKenzie and Elizabeth Warren were bitcoin devs. Insane shit
Hi sorry to bother you, could you please repost my Geyser 🙏🏻 it’s for my son 🙏🏻 thanks so much
holy #rWord Batman, I'll pass on the poison as well.
🤙🎯
I am afraid he is really preparing for hard fork.
I don't think there is any other explanation (apart from him being stupid, which is not the case)
He will probably try to pull paper Bitcoin suitcoiners and government ("evangelical republicans") in.
It will all be for the children.
Its going to get nasty.
Hard fork of what? the opreturn change is a mempool policy argument.
Mem pool policy does not prevent csam on bitcoin. Only way to do that is hard fork that would establish some central entity deciding what can be in blocks.
Luke saved Bitcoin miltiple times before you ever owned any.
He speaks like tyranny. “If I leave bitcoin”
Go bitch! Get away.
So based on what you said, V30 should be welcomed?
😂
No thank you Mr Lopp…….
Old core versions yes and Knots yes, but V30……..
No
I think Bitcoin should be more like ETH, that’s why I’m going to run Core 30. We need Vitalik back
So why don't you guys use Ethereum then?
Never tell another man what he should or shouldn’t drink.
Lopp is the bad actor. Citrea, in which he is an investor, started this spam shit war together with Antoine.
Citrea is trying to turn Bitcoin into an Ethereum like shitcoin. Its gross. Lopp is evil shitcoiner and a liar.
