But why have it be Opt In? I'm still having to convince business owners that would never know I'm paying with BTC. On By Default to USD is what we need.

Sorry man, filters don't work. Look at the sub sat transaction research. Flip it over, imagine you want to stop me from putting a consensus valid (this is very important) transaction on chain and you have 90% of nodes. Research shows you cannot stop me. Again b/c my transaction is consensus valid, filters are relay policy. If filters actually worked an attacker could easily spin up thousands of AWS nodes and eclipse the network. Bitcoin would have very little value b/c that's not censorship resistant. BTW I fucking hate ordinals and OP_Return increase, but this ain't the solution.

I work in mining. S9 is a very old model and very inefficient compared to today's models. Expensive unstable power is the opposite of a good mining environment. You'll likely loose money on this deal. Mining generally is almost impossible to make more SATs than you spend unless you have some edge, like subsidized power, valuable use for heat, etc. It would be a hell of a learning tool though, 4-5 years idle... eeek!

Great, so I can spin up thousands of AWS nodes, eclipse the network, and stop your transaction? Sub-sat transactions have proven filters don't work. There's a new research paper on it

So let me get this straight, Blockstream was the villain for for block size, now chaincode is that for... relay policy? Get a grip, what a nothing burger

Szabo is spitting nonsense here and you guys are not thinking this through. These lines of reasoning are crap. Fees have NOTHING to do with nodes and Bitcoin has never given a shit about what is legal. Ya'll need to go back and listen to Andreas Antonopoulos.

Node war :) how stupid, its like none of you actually understand how bitcoin works

How can Bitcoiners be so smart... and so dumb at the same time?

Chicken of the woods?

reminder that 60% of the ballot are measures that determine taxes, education spending, flood management, infrastructure, etc. its not all blue and red

the entire concept of jaywalking was created by the auto industry. before cars streets were considered a shared resource. the auto industry created jaywalking to distract from the huge rise in pedestrian deaths from cars.

why is the ability for a government to help people always associated with money printing? cities in the US used to pride themselves on the large beautiful institutions they would build for the mentally challenged before the prison industrial complex took over that role. these facilities were made on a harder money standard. money is used to express the values of the holder and just because we are currently told that is must be printed to help people doesn't mean its true. helping people is a choice regardless of the hardness of the money.

no. IMO bricks won't ever have a stand alone currency, just a currency swap system

At the BRICS summit in Kazan, a symbolic banknote featuring the flags of member nations was unveiled, sparking discussions on creating alternatives to the US dollar and fostering a more independent economic system.
