there is nothing wrong with mimicking a good enhancement that occurred on another chain. this idea that it's impossible for another chain to come up with something good before bitcoin does is a totally recent maxi derangement.
mimicking good enhancements was the original basis of bitcoin maximalism. not invented here syndrome is prideful obstructionism.
for starters, when you read the quantum computing resistance proposals they are usually structured as creating a new address format secured by a different signature. you wouldn't have to switch to it immediately. some people would try it out and see if it doesn't do anything bad. then after some time passes, something else could happen, such as a confiscation or a rate limit. none of the proposals advocate doing this part immediately.
I think you will have a more meaningful back and forth with others on the topic if you actually discuss the proposals that are out there and address the parts you find objectionable.
nonsense. SHA-1 got deprecated years before anyone was able to demonstrate attacking it in real life. and we are even worse off now because we are working on a computer program that is extremely difficult to change, even for benign things like CTV. so there is nothing wrong with starting the work now.
um okay, so... test it then.
nobody said don't test new cryptography before applying it. but you imagined a bogeyman in your head saying it.
you sound like a histrionic obstructionist.
he has done this specifically to me like five times. he's not going to change his mind on this
I read the bip360 proposal website. they are suggesting to eventually penalize wallets that are quantum vulnerable by limiting how many spends from these wallets can be in a block. this would prevent satoshi's coins from flooding the market too quickly if he is indeed dead and cannot migrate them himself, and it would be an alternative to outright confiscation
I don't like confiscation either
you should really read the bip360 proposal website
it goes up, then it collapses, until it stabilizes
more and more people might say "it's only 50 cents, guess I'll use it." but then if it climbs, more and more people will say "fuck this, I'll just use spark (or another cryptocurrency)."
the collapsed fee market has stabilized around 50 cents for so long that it looks like this is what the market can currently handle. all the rest of the fee revenue goes to creepy permissioned L2 companies (or other blockchains).
what we need to get is a kind of scaling solution where all the fees go straight to miners, but there is enough room that each transaction can pay a small fee, so that people will actually stick around.
(I am doing unpaid guerilla marketing for drivechains today)
interesting, so the filter ideology is implemented like a cartel, and cartels naturally get broken
L2s that starve miners of fee revenue are completely unsustainable long term.
"upgrades" are L1 consensus changes needed for creating different L2s, that cause miners to receive more fee revenue, or features like CTV that make L1 transactions more useful so more people will do them.
miners will need to rely increasingly more on fee revenue and less on block rewards. the status quo of lightning, liquid, cashu, and arkade is not going to make that happen. they earn next to nothing from these. it's unsustainable.
the scenario where extremely expensive lightning channel maintenance transactions are funding most of the hashrate is extremely bad for permissionlessness and freedom. it's bad for the user. so we need something different.
gold failed to scale permissionlessly because of physics.
every attempt at scaling bitcoin so far hits a ceiling where it has to sacrifice permissionlessness in order to keep going. liquid, cashu, spark, and arkade start with that ceiling already on the floor. even lightning itself hits a ceiling. only middlemen and ultrarich will own channels. everyone else will ask for permission.
bitcoin ends the way gold did unless people lose interest in all these time wasters.
This gaydar is diabolical!

I find this unbelievable. that app was demolished a few years ago. we're talking like you get an unskippable ad every five clicks, unless you pay $75 a month
they will eventually activate consensus changes to attract more fee revenue, or they will go out of business
I found a critical vulnerability that affects all monero wallets. they display the transaction amount on the user's computer screen. this will leak information about how much cocaine the user buys if the chupacabra sneaks up behind them and looks at the screen.
I disclosed the vulnerability to the featherwallet developers and they have been ignoring it for 8 months!
none of the lightning wallets are affected by this vulnerability because you cannot use lightning to buy cocaine anywhere.
I want to like him because he is decent enough to not reflexively slam the mute button like a child, and he is intelligent, but he wastes so much of his intelligence on dishonest pilpul
yeah, and these super dangerous wallets also have a way to export your seed phrase. this can be privacy harmful if you accidentally write it on your forehead
they have a way to view your transaction history and some of them let you export it to CSV. this is incredibly dangerous for privacy in case you make a mistake and fax it to the police station
a cashu mint is not a permissionless decentralized blockchain but I can see how it's easy to get confused
I don't think that's true either. I don't agree with your root cause analysis or your bogeyman selection. it became normalized to tell transactions directly to miners when blocks first started being full. this is what opened up the can of worms with nonstandard-but-valid transactions becoming more common than they were before. if you still want to blame core for something, you can blame them for this.
yes I know, and it's a very stupid question. if you relay blocks at all you are already relaying illegal data. this is a fact. if you are afraid of that you shouldn't run a bitcoin node. you are trying to make this into a thing where you are being safer or more virtuous by pretending valid transactions don't exist for their first 20 minutes, making your node run less efficiently for no benefit, and like I already explained it doesn't matter. you want to have your cake and eat it too.
I love Jurajs stuff
but this is "i saw someone selling mushroom chocolate on Insta" level information
no wait his drug dealer goes to a different school
his drug dealer is from canada
you can tell the person is new to bitcoin if they don't remember repeated periods of full blocks and the kinds of huge problems it causes. anyone who lectures you that self-custody is always an option is like this.
I was thinking of something else with the OP_RETURN thing. it's unspendable which is the reason why it is safe to prune... there are so many ways to store arbitrary data on bitcoin it's hard to remember them all.
please read the STAMPS documentation
I also remember looking through an imageboard on zeronet where someone had made custom java code to embed arbitrary data into addresses on outputs. it looked completely novel like it was someone's hobby project. they were bragging about what they had done and they believed it would advance the conversation on legalizing CP.
someone suggested to fork bitcoin so that a person has to initialize an address before it can receive funds, which I guess would make this a little more difficult but not impossible. but that would be a ton of work, almost like starting over.
koreader doesn't really replace the firmware of the entire device... it's more like an "app." it shows up as a normal book in the kobo's interface and when you open it, it tricks the machine into executing a bunch of code and launches into a newfangled environment. the stuff in there is better, like a real hierarchical file browser that explores the contents of the storage. the reader is also better. if you shut the device off completely and turn it back on you have to go into the "app" again to make it come back.
tether used to be an omni token. it doesn't mean shit if they add another bitcoin adjacent network. nobody will want it. there was never any demand at all for stablecoins outside of EVM networks and solana.
ecash isn't bitcoin. it fits on the "crypto" side of the fake "bitcoin vs crypto" dichotomy. you belong at the conference
the far left hates gay marriage and gay people who get married. marriage is inherently a conservative behavior. it also enables you to pay fewer taxes and put your spouse on privatized healthcare. they hate all of that. and they hate that gay marriage activism could have instead gone to AIDS activism or stuff for transgenders or people of color. they see gay marriage as a rich white coded thing for people who are too focused on conformity. the far left sees gay people as nothing more than a weapon for tearing down society and pushing socialism. if you opt out of this nonsense, they will eventually attack you worse than evangelical christians.
