Thank you for the response.

Re Citrea. While they might be further along, it's still far from the usual rigid requirement, and certainly not an operational product.

This just makes the whole reference to and argument for Citrea in the OP mailing list incredibly weak (and dangerous imho)

Re: GitHub

First, I disagree that this qualifies already as "harassment". It's a valid, albeit dissenting argument, which should be able to be presented at the main stage.

Second, resorting to fine print bureaucract arguments for blocking ("Oh you should not have discussed this here's but in the line over there") makes Core look incredibly weak and insecure. Especially without warning/notice.

You must see that.

This is not the way trustworthy stewardship of a critical FOSS project looks like.

Even benevolent dictators must be benevolent to not lose support from Us the People.

Citrea publishes some whitepaper(!), for a bridge that would benefit from relaxed OP_RETURN limits.

Immediately everybody at Core: "yeah let's DROP the limits - they're useless anyway. LFG 🚀"

All the while other major changes (e.g. CTV) there's years of filibuster: Where is your signet implementation? Where is your documented user demand? Where is the documented consensus? etc etc etc

[Ironically, something like CTV would have done away with the interactive presigning ceremonies that particularly hinder 2way pegs such as said Citrea's bridge]

You see the point why people are confused by how Core is handling that, don't you???

Besides, blocking dissenting voices from GH for the slightest of disagreements is absolutely disgusting 👎

This may break the straw for many ppl

summary here:

Take: Apart from the actual tech arguments, it's sus af that for years folks have been fighting any change with the "we have to be conservative/where is the use case/show me x implementations on testnet first" filibuster arguments - and now quickly quickly we are to yolo in major policy changes just like that, cuz some Citrea bridge would benefit from it. 🤷

Oh, and banning dissenting voices from the GitHub discussion is really a red flag imho 🚩

NACK.

Why suddenly such a rush to change major Bitcoin policy, after all these years of blocking every sensible proposal (which would actually enable/facilitate all these L2 pegs!!) such as CTV? Just because Citrea would like it for its bridge - that exist on a whitepaper?

Hup Holland, Hup!

asking permission is seeking denial.

I literally thought at first he is farting the rhythm..

There is this agent/service, but for Solana.

Perhaps, but idk. No opsec would have been good enough to protect against three letter agencies anyway, and he was of the clear opinion that running FOSS -free as in freedom- is just and protected by the 2nd amendment. Being open about it gives it less the smell of illegality, that the other side will often use to sway jury's opinion.

And we don't know maybe he's "complying" with LE requests , is blocking IPs etc. to be on the safe side.

This whole "but you did not even try to stop this" is what is being leveled against TC frontend runners and Samourai.

Vlad's iirc

He's appeared on podcasts, with camera on. There is no opsec anymore after this.

Deutschland 1923:

* Ein Großteil der "Flucht in harte assets" wurde rückabgewickelt bzw abgeschöpft.

Deutschland 2025

* das gleiche wird passieren. Auch mit Bitcoin - es sei denn nonkyc 😉

If all they can "freeze" is that small single-digit percentage, we are witnessing the ultimate litmus test that Bitcoin is still censorship resistant if you know what you're doing - even after all this KYC, corporate capture.

Lazarus is the most sought after hacker group and this hack has the biggest target on its back.

It's the biggest story in Bitcoin rn, imho

Tbh I just couldn't care about another social network. Might be better protocol, sure, yet even nostr isnt gaining that much ground and it's heavily pushed by my bubble. So yeah.

NOSTR FANBOIS IN SHAMBLES!

Es ist eben nicht nur diese "kommunistische Missgeburt", sondern das Land, und Millionen von Menschen. So ein Staatszusammenbruch (und machen wir uns nicht vor, das ist es was es bedeutet) ist kein Zuckerschlecken..

Aber hey, Nach dem Krieg sind Alle gleich

(das ist ein 📖..)

Vielleicht würde sie gewählt (und wird bezahlt) um die Interessen des Landes zu vertreten, nicht die der "Bitcoiner"? 🤔🤷

don't do drugs kids
