Almost seems like gold is a shitcoin.
Miners decide what's in blocks, node runners decide what goes in their own mempools. I won't run software that takes away my autonomy. If there's a reason to remove the limit then convince me to change the setting. Forcing this is a big red flag.
Why pretend that all PRs are the same. Some may generate more interest from the users than others. You sound like "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
My mempool, my choice.
Miners decide what's in blocks. Node runners decide what's in their mempools. I will run the software that respects this.
The increasing ivory tower, high priest, attitude is enough incentive for me to run knots. For example the second sentence in the third paragraph starting with "There's no debate..." That was the final straw for me. Good bye core, hello knots.
Then clearly the government is a complete and utter failure. If it's gotten this bad then it's time for revolution.
I sometimes think about the countless other open source projects with little to no user interest. Devs can make any changes they want and no one cares. Bitcoin is the opposite of that.
Some people will scan their eyeballs before admitting they were wrong about Bitcoin.
"Without government, who will do the science?"
The behavior of some is appalling. Not sure about the group as a whole. If they want "people who don't know shit" to run their software, they need to become better communicators.
Sounds like you had an interest in that monitor, but a conflict with your graphics card. Smart move to recognize that and change course.
For #3, the same person who made the op_return PR: Peter Todd.
Current core devs seem more like bluesky types.
It's always the same story.
He's been calling for this for a while. At what point is it no longer trolling?
The lesson learned here is if maxis don't fund Bitcoin development shitcoiners will. Core is a lost cause but maybe we can learn something from this fiasco.
