I'm not worried about going direct to mining pools. I think it's about the utxo set and not even the size but probably the added processing needed to do the IDB and full validation. I was trying to think of the absolute worst case scenario were every single sat is used in its own utxo and inscribed with the max 4mb of garage data. How big would that make the utxo, how long would it take to get there and how long would it take to do a full validation. Then try that scenario with what might actually be possible in reality. Like how bad could it actually get. I didn't really think it through. Full nodes need to be able to do full validation and not rely on shortcuts. So writing all that out it does seem like unlocking op return is good as it would require less processing during full validation. And then if you still see transactions using inscriptions or whatever then you can reason that it's adisguised attack on Bitcoin.

Third caption is unnecessary

I'm guessing each time it's done there's less impact... And I would bet it keeps trending that way. So no change needed.

From the bits and pieces I've read it almost seems like there was too much power and then something went out of wack. Most people were thinking that a sudden drop of renewable power would be the problem... Like you stated this doesn't seem to be the case here.

Career retail automotive here, im gonna give you a different answer than anyone here I bet.

Something naturally aspirated, carbureted & no computers in it.

Something you can work on and fix yourself.

I asked Grok to bullet point them for me:

- Avoid complex wiring, ECUs, or modern sensor arrays. Look for vehicles with basic ignition systems (e.g., points-style or simple electronic ignition) and straightforward mechanical components.

- Manual transmission: Fewer complex parts than an automatic, easier to repair, and more durable with proper care.

- Rear-wheel drive (RWD) or basic 4WD: RWD is simpler and more robust for DIY work; basic 4WD systems (like part-time 4WD) are durable and easier to maintain than modern AWD.

2. Durable Engine and Components:

- Cast iron block and head: These are heavier but extremely tough and easier to repair than aluminum components.

- Low-revving, under-stressed engine: Engines designed for torque over high RPM (e.g., inline-six or pushrod V8) last longer due to less internal stress.

- Forged internals: Crankshafts, connecting rods, and pistons made of forged steel are more durable than cast equivalents.

- Overhead valve (OHV) design: Simpler than overhead cam (OHC) engines, with fewer parts (e.g., no timing belt to replace).

3. Widespread Parts Availability:

- Choose a vehicle with a large production run or a cult following (e.g., classic American trucks, Jeeps, or Toyota Land Cruisers). This ensures aftermarket support and easy access to replacement parts.

- Common engine platforms: Engines like the Chevy small-block V8, Ford 300 inline-six, or Toyota 22R have abundant parts and knowledge bases.

4. Rust Resistance and Build Quality:

- Galvanized steel or heavy-duty frame: A chassis that resists corrosion is critical for longevity, especially in wet or salty environments.

- Simple body design: Flat panels and minimal plastic trim are easier to repair or replace.

- Quality paint and undercoating: Factory or aftermarket undercoating can extend body life.

5. Ease of Maintenance:

- Accessible engine bay: Plenty of room to work, with components like spark plugs, carburetor, and belts easy to reach.

- Standard tools compatibility: Avoid vehicles requiring specialized tools for basic repairs.

- Comprehensive service manuals: Look for vehicles with detailed, widely available repair manuals (e.g., Haynes or Chilton).

6. Fuel Flexibility:

- Carburetors that can be tuned for different fuel types or ethanol blends. This ensures the vehicle remains usable if fuel standards change.

- Avoid tight emissions-compliant designs: Older, less-regulated engines are easier to modify and maintain.

7. Overbuilt for Durability:

- Heavy-duty suspension: Leaf springs or simple coil setups are robust and easy to repair.

- Oversized cooling system: Prevents overheating during long or demanding use.

- High-capacity oil system: Larger oil sumps reduce wear during extended operation.

1. Chevrolet C/K Trucks (1967–1987):

- Engine: Chevy 350 V8 or 292 inline-six (carbureted, naturally aspirated).

- Why: Simple OHV engines, massive parts availability, easy to work on, and a boxy design that’s rust-resistant with care. Manual transmission options abound.

- Longevity: With regular maintenance, these engines can exceed 300,000 miles.

2. Ford F-Series (1965–1986):

- Engine: Ford 300 inline-six or 351 Windsor V8.

- Why: The 300 I6 is legendary for durability, with a simple design and easy carburetor tuning. RWD and manual options are common, and parts are plentiful.

- Longevity: Known to last decades with basic care.

3. Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40/FJ60 (1960–1984):

- Engine: Toyota 2F inline-six (carbureted).

- Why: Overbuilt for off-road use, with a simple design and excellent parts availability due to a global fanbase. The 2F is tough and easy to rebuild.

- Longevity: Many still run after 40+ years with minimal issues.

4. Jeep CJ-5/CJ-7 (1970–1986):

- Engine: AMC 258 inline-six or 304 V8.

- Why: Basic mechanicals, carbureted engines, and a huge aftermarket. Simple 4WD system and minimal electronics make it a DIY dream.

- Longevity: With rust prevention, these can last indefinitely.

5. Dodge Ram (1972–1987):

- Engine: Mopar 318 V8 or 225 Slant Six.

- Why: The Slant Six is nearly indestructible, and the 318 is simple and widely supported. RWD and manual options are easy to find.

- Longevity: Regular oil changes can keep these running for 200,000+ miles.

### Additional Considerations

- Maintenance Habits: Even the toughest vehicle won’t last without regular oil changes, rust prevention, and proper storage. Use high-quality fluids and filters.

- Modifications: Consider adding a dual-carb setup for redundancy or an aftermarket ignition for reliability. Avoid over-tuning, as it stresses the engine.

- Community Support: Join forums or clubs for your chosen vehicle (e.g., IH8MUD for Land Cruisers or ChevyTalk for GM trucks). These provide repair tips and parts sources.

- Budget: Older vehicles are cheap upfront but require investment in maintenance. Expect to spend on tools, a garage space, and occasional rebuilds (e.g., carburetor or transmission).

### What to Avoid

- Vehicles with early fuel injection (e.g., 1980s TBI systems), as they’re less DIY-friendly than carburetors.

- Complex 4WD systems with electronic controls.

- Models with known weak points (e.g., rust-prone bodies or fragile transmissions).

- Obscure vehicles with limited parts availability.

### Final Note

No vehicle lasts "forever" without effort, but a well-chosen classic truck or SUV with a carbureted, naturally aspirated engine, combined with diligent maintenance, can last decades. Pick a model with a strong community and abundant parts, like a Chevy C10 or Toyota FJ, and you’ll have a reliable, fixable ride for life.

Wouldn't you have a pretty hard time finding a carbureted vehicle made after 2000? As a bug out vehicle for a massive solar flare event sure... But as a daily driver a simple direct injection should be pretty reliable?

I’m sure they’re making lots of assumptions.

How can CTV or CFFS be used against hodlers and the original Bitcoin ethos? As all great things can be used for good and bad… are the people championing this change thinking long and hard about how it can be used for bad and trying to mitigate the bad? Or at least explain how it can be used for bad so users are prepared and know what to look for? Or is it really that safe that there aren’t any practical risks to hodlers when they’re ready to be spenders? I’m sure this discussion is scattered around the internet but maybe you can give your thoughts from what you’ve seen so far? I lean towards leaving it out… at the risk of it being even harder to implement later, after it’s proven to be net good.
