While we cannot make this decision on behalf of a theoretical future Bitcoin community, I think burning vulnerable bitcoin is inevitable.

First of all, I think it’s the right decision. In a world where a CRQC (cryptographically relevant quantum computer) is on the short-term horizon, these coins will not remain with their original owners. No amount of hopium will solve that. Instead your options are only (a) freeze or (b) let some CRQC owner eventually steal them. I definitely prefer (a).

Luckily, it doesn’t have to be a lot of coins - any addresses which were created from a standard seed phrase + HD derivation can be recovered with a QC-safe ZK proof. It’s only the very very old coins (or more esoteric wallets) that would be frozen.

Finally, it’s worth pointing out that I think this is inevitable. In a theoretical future where a CRQC is on the horizon, both forks will exist. The market will ultimately decide which bitcoin they value more - one with an extra million coins of supply as the CRQC owners steal lost coins or the one without. I cannot imagine the market preferring the former.

Read Turtles All The Way Down & you will not want to vax for anything either. Vaccine "testing" has always been purposely corrupt in order to hide the fact that they produce chronic illness which results in far greater demand for healthcare services & pharma products, which most people would otherwise never need. Unvaxxed kids are significantly healthier & smarter.

wife blessed us with another son.

healthy.

home birth.

no vax. no cut.

If there's any app or protocol you want to see built on bitcoin, but you're not sure it's possible due to bitcoin's limitations, post it in this thread

This is objectively wrong. I have been shlonking for years with only great affects.

You bought a lie by some entrenched interest

That KYC form will haunt you forever. Stop this madness!

Here for the platitudes like "Bitcoin is for everyone"

Airbnb has no homes

Uber has no cars

Vexl has no KYC data

This is the future.

A single human cell is more complex than any machine humanity knows how to build yet. Only our greatest processors are even getting close.

The human body consists of trillions of these cells, specialized into tasks. A being of marvelous, monstrous complexity.

And yet we forget where we put our phone.

thank you but I hasten to remind you, while my ideas are interesting, most of them aren't practical, which is why no one uses them

Your relay and client both have to support it. Doesn’t mean the whole relay network will accept it so not even worth bothering.

yo, how do I undo a retweet?

Until Ross is free, none of us are free.
