It’s kind of like looking in the mirror and thinking you look good so you assume everyone else thinks it too. You can “delete” it locally, but it’s not really gone unless all relays delete it too. Sooo probably not gonna happen.

If the math could regenerate prunes for anyone searching the chain on demand, it would lend itself to allowing you to do that. But if it’s a “once it’s gone, it’s gone” kind of thing then what good is the history of the chain now? I might be asking questions that are dumb and I’ll advised but I don’t see anyone asking many questions. So here I am.

Haha, yeah, the dinning room table has seen it’s fair share of stretched cords and stacked Tom Clancy books for a monitor riser. 100 year old homes were built for a different time!

Yeah, we bought this house at a great price and have put a ton of sweat equity and value into it, but only thought about it being for our first kid…not 3. Twins and a global pandemic change everything x7!

I found this funny…but also sad that I don’t have a home office and REALLY need one. If kids aren’t screaming on conference calls, everyone ask if I’ve been kidnapped.

Yeah, I like the concept/idea of what it can do. It’s just unsettling that it “cheats” on paying the full weight of the actual block by abusing what is supposed to be a witness/signature space that secures the transactions and chain. Just seems to be a lot that goes against our ethos here. I don’t have a problem with NFT ideology, but implementation has been bad since Ordinals/Inscriptions have given a way to host both the data and history.

However, Bitcoin at its core is a ledger of transactions: financial or transactional, not a database. I think I saw someone say we’d only add 210GB a year at full 4mb blocks, but where are we in another 10 years? Talking about pruning the block because it takes months to sync a new node?

Just so many questions we need to think about now and begin trying to solve before they become an attack vector or a way this spins out of control.

Damn, just turned us OG’s into Basic G’s with a strong flex 💪!

So not to beat a dead horse here, but with people “burning” NFTs on BTC…it doesn’t really work and I think it’s because a lot don’t understand their system. It’s centralized and no data lives in chain.

Owning a BAYC isn’t like owning a hard asset, you literally have keys to a wallet that has a proof of authenticity certificate. You don’t have the actual storage file/code, that’s hosted in a bank of servers somewhere and I’m sure they could access that file and recreate it if they wanted. It’s like owning the Mona Lisa. Sure your name might appear on the back of the frame, but it’s not leaving the Louvre and anyone can take a picture of it and print it out or copy it and there’s nothing you can do about it.

We also cannot overlook that while it would be on the Bitcoin chain as an inscription, the asset would be traded there instead as a derivative basically.

So I get the idea behind burning things on Bitcoin, because we can and it’s mostly symbolic, but let’s not forget why we’re Bitcoiners. What makes them hate us so much. We have qualities they never could.

Maybe I’m completely misunderstanding ordinals and NFTs and am happy to learn, but I don’t know if this is the way to go forward.

Well Preston, like anything else…you have your grifters, your followers, your supporters and your leaders. Things like ESG or our current monetary system tend to disallow anyone who questions the narrative or motive or outcome without being a heretic. You cannot learn and help pull up others around you.

However, open source systems like Bitcoin and Nostr allow for questions to be asked. Allows you to dive deeper and understand what problem we’re actually solving and then fine tune their support accordingly.

Luckily, what we do is for an actual great cause not a made up one. Sure we want to make money along the way, but I bought Sats to be able to send people their first Sats ever so they can see how easy it is, not because I hope my $50 turns into $100 the next bull run.

We’re builders.

We’re creators.

We’re thinkers and problem solvers.

I couldn’t help it, I had to do it! I love this #[0] puppet skit!

That’s odd, it’s there along with zaps. Had no issues so far.

SBF out there spreading ill gotten funds or something? Get me on this train! Lol

Those bitcorners!!! Ruining all our fiat fun!

Send it (bitcorns)

I see it once I’ve loaded the main note. Then it stays.
