Got news for you Carter, LN is doing just fine without your acknowledgement by pretty much every metric imaginable.
Yah almost like the rush to put in filters that could be as easily bypassed as the ones in Knots.
For those paying attention at home Samson is still just a larp who is too afraid to let anyone reply to his posts except the simps that follow him.
The Quantum FUD is just that, FUD, and Mechanic and Luke are still following in Roger's and eventually faketoshi's footsteps.
If free speech is a threat to you, your soft fork probably isn't going to do well.
Bitcoin is working as intended:
1. Thwarting spam making it unsustainable for any meaningful amount of time due to fees.
2. Resisting loud non-technical internet mobs trying to change it.
3. Tick tock next block.
ZCash is just as much of a joke today as it was when it came out. No thanks.
Knots folks: I'm here to save Bitcoin from "spam"
Also Knots folks: I don't know how spammers operate. I don't know what drives spam behavior. I don't know what tools they use. I don't know how their ecosystem works. I don't know a single spammer.
Soon Knots folks will finally realize that the only way to fully stop "spam" is a central authority like OFAC, but hey, they'll get there eventually right?
Agree diversity of clients is a success on some level, even though Knots is mostly Core anyway, it has just enough changes in it (~25-50k lines) that I would not trust it with LN or any mission critical operation.
There's literally no activation client yet for 444 so it can't even actually be run and signaled yet. What does "it's happened" mean to you?
So even with all that paid Ocean marketing Knots still can't rise above ~20% and only has a ~2% chance of actually happening in the betting markets.
2017 - miners and large corporations don't control bitcoin
2026 - an economically irrelevant but loud-on-twitter group of users don't control bitcoin
Let's see who makes this mistake next.
Nobody is claiming the change “alone could kill bitcoin” the concern is with opening it to future attacks and diluting its purpose as money.
Ps. Of topic: your site is broken. Use https://pagespeed.web.dev/
Mechanic literally said v30 would kill bitcoin several times in tweets and on his youtube channel. Nothing about op return dilutes bitcoins purpose as money, what are you smoking. Are you having transacting because I can transact just fine.
Are you sure about that mechanic?
No. You are simply incorrect in your assumptions that op return can create new use cases that dilute the established purpose of bitcoin. v30 is still the same bitcoin as v29. If op return alone could kill bitcoin it would have already.
No risk, no reward, such is life.
Hey guys want to put your money where your mouth is on the 444 soft fork? You can find the link to the prediction market below, mechanic is blocking people like crazy over it, probably because the current odds of the SF activating is only at 6%:
There's fundamentally no difference, people will put things on the chain whether you like it or not.
