John is getting dunked on by all of bitcoin twitter right now for good reason.
Sorry John but redefining the bitcoin unit is the biggest waste of time I've seen in the space since ordinals.
Hilarious how most CTV opponents haven't even heard of utxos.org. Do your research before joining the covenants conversation or else you just look like an idiot.
There are a ton of podcasts about covenants.

Each one of these proposals have a BIP that you can read. You can see all the features each one offers at https://utxos.org/alternatives
Jeremy tried to get CTV activated in 2022 but people didn't agree with the activation method, everyone liked CTV but not the "speedy trial" activation by miners. This isn't a poll it's more of a survey and there was something like this before at https://utxos.org/signals but that was only for CTV.
That is correct, according to reardencode's tests LNhance uses less bytes then APO.
Correction: The signet branch has been completed since 2020 but to date it has only been merged on mutnitynet/inquisition, not signet which is the official bitcoin core test net.
No, it is not merged on testnet, because testnet runs Bitcoin Core.
It was only merged on Inquisition, which is a Core fork ran by AJ Towns that powers the "official" signet. APO was/is also merged and operative there, as well as OP_CAT, see https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/ctv-apo-cat-activity-on-signet/1257/2
Yah here's the link to the branch that never got merged to signet yet https://github.com/JeremyRubin/bitcoin/tree/checktemplateverify-signet
Here's the link to CTV on signet: https://github.com/JeremyRubin/bitcoin/tree/checktemplateverify-signet
CTV has been merged to Signet and MutnityNet for years now.
From what I can tell it seems that LNhance is more efficient doing ln-symmetry then APO.
I still haven’t gotten an answer on this - has CTV been merged in testnet? Anybody know? nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg nostr:npub16dhgpql60vmd4mnydjut87vla23a38j689jssaqlqqlzrtqtd0kqex0nkq nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8
Yes, all of LNhance's opcodes including CTV currently exist on mutnitynet and inquisition.
Just behind CTV it looks like with three "No"s, followed by TXHASH and then APO.
26 devs have now voiced their opinion for covenant upgrades to bitcoin.
So far CTV is the only op code to not have any one left evaluating it which makes sense since it's the most mature. CTV also has the least amount of "No"s without any "Evaluating"s.
If you're a bitcoin developer and haven't voiced your opinion yet we'd really appreciate it so the community can be as informed as possible.

Soon we'll be moving on to additional stake holders.

I personally benefit from CTV the same way every other bitcoin user does. I do not run a company, I am just a pleb, so I will be using CTV to improve my personal self custody and inheritance setup via a tiered vault system.
I'm convinced Adam Back is now just an MSTR LLM bot.
How do I personally benefit from what, bitcoin upgrading? The same as any other bitcoin user.
