Shitcoin "new chains" are part of the scam marketing.

I don't think scammers want bitcoin side chains because they can't make absurd Rube Goldberg machine claims.

This is probably why Liquid didn't find much traction. Why I there won't be demand for Drive Chain. There is pretty much nothing shitcoiners are doing that can't be done on Liquid.

Go play on liquid first, show demand.

Paul Sztorc: "Altcoins are not weird rivals that are inherently evil. Instead they're just like this place where technology is tested out and previewed before we copy it to BTC."

Okay... lmk when you've tested Bip300 on Litecoin, and show me over time that it will make #Bitcoin more prosperous without ruining it.

stop with the act. i know how smart you are.

his full time job for the last two weeks has been roaming around insulting anyone who doesn’t agree with him on drive chains.

who does that? it’s sus

boi, you’re anonymity is all you got going for you. i’d pop you in you little whiny face for talking to ben like that. you’re nothin but an over inflated ego with an opinion and projection.

I’m interested in why you’re pushing it, but I don’t care enough to spoon feed it to you.

if you put in the work, I’ll read it. otherwise 👋

nah. honestly I don’t like how proponents are pushing this change and I personally don’t want it.

if you feel compelled to change peoples minds, you can put in the work.

would love to hear your rebuttal to the video.

Fuck drive chains.

But they don’t allow Bitcoin to be stolen on the base layer, or further empower the miners.

Do we need a layer 2 for privacy, or do we need to improve privacy at the base layer? Certainly. But, based on my interactions with others, that is the only use case the majority of users support.

Without knowing all of the second and third order affects, I still believe the benefits don’t justify the risks.

Agree to disagree 🙏🏻

And therein lies the problem. I’m not opposed to drivechains conceptually, but I believe it needs to be implemented trustlessly or it’s just an epic rug waiting to happen.

You could argue that the risks are known, so the amount of value locked in a drivechain reflects both the utility and the inherent risk of theft, and you might be right.

Personally though, I can’t support something I see as fundamentally flawed.

Drivechains? Not on my node.

Maybe next century. #Bitcoin

Huh? You’re contradicting yourself.

Lightning has trustless peg in / out without relying on miner cooperation.

arguments do not matter in bitcoin, they never did

all changes are just based on the authority of who proposed the change
