Smart choices!

If you aren’t watching, the latest “sub 1sat summer” it’s not adding value and core developers are asking people to about turn on it.

Bitcoin Core is turning into Ethereum and Knots is trying to preserve Bitcoin as money.

Run knots 🪢 🤙

Guys, surely @bitcoincoreorg deleting comments and marking as abuse is just not the way to execute.

Irrespective of which side you’re on, censorship in your development process is not the way to build a “censorship resistant” money.

This isn’t a win for anyone, and makes the whole Bitcoin identity look weak.

This method of building, architecting, and executing on change only ever ends badly.

Incredibly scary stuff.

Not the way.

Treating the Bitcoin Core repository like it’s a subreddit.

😱

This is a great insight from nostr:nprofile1qqsf6hls5tv9ypxyp49vy7ajdzd7n992rvhl8lyy7y0uj37tr28mglspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejs9pf9af

Given he’s been on the podcast already this year (check out the ep, it was awesome as always)

Who is keen to join me as a guest and run through what is going on with Knots?

Ideally they’ve upgraded their node and got deep in the weeds

It truly is incredible to watch, and I do have a side that aligns with my beliefs, but it’s always interesting to watch rocket ships and dig into the “why”. What makes people put in the effort to run this software without any financial benefit? Etc…

I think it will be a great case study win or lose!

Misalignment among network operators (the people that keep the code online) is what fractures them.

I’m sorry that you weren’t educated on the topic before you spoke to the topic.

Also, rarely check Nostr hence delayed reply 🫡

Ohhhhh I getttttt it now….

You’re a crybaby when you don’t get free reigns with no accountability.

Networks chew people like you up and spit them out. I’m here for 100 years, you’re here for hero clicks.

Weak.

Because you don’t make changes (regardless of the change) during hostile environments.

The same reason you don’t get out of a moving car.

So nuancing the specifics is irrelevant. CTV and all that shows promise. But misalignment shows bigger risk.

You can complain all you want, I’m not the inventor of this logic.

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsf6hls5tv9ypxyp49vy7ajdzd7n992rvhl8lyy7y0uj37tr28mglspz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsr26j3j

Did you have any actual critiques of CTV+CSFS or were you just engagement baiting? (The latter worked, apparently)

You think I’m some conservative boring person, while I am, I tinker probably a lot more than anybody else in the industry with these things.

CTV isn’t the conversation, it’s the process to get CTV activated and when.

You don’t make big changes in the middle of a misalignment shitstorm. That’s what governments do during election years, purposefully for the effort of destabilising the citizens and dividing them.

This is a process and social alignment convo, zero technical nuance.

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsf6hls5tv9ypxyp49vy7ajdzd7n992rvhl8lyy7y0uj37tr28mglspz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsr26j3j

Did you have any actual critiques of CTV+CSFS or were you just engagement baiting? (The latter worked, apparently)

I posted it because people are skipping the rigorous process for making changes.

If you skip processes it may work in your favour today, but long term it doesn’t.

I’m not engagement baiting, I don’t care about engagement.

I’m telling you it ends badly when everyone doesn’t have consistent predictable processes for change.

As evident, people are already arguing about Core for a different CTV related issue.

You’ll all eat each other over time as the lack of process may favour you today, but over time becomes crippling and incentive orientated (not process orientated).

Like I said, follow process, have a process, stick to it, and show that the community can rely on it moving forward.

What part is difficult to understand about that and what part don’t you like about it?

Nothing ever scales without process and Core Apologists are learning this the hard way.

Hubris and ignorance works for 20 minutes but this is a 1000 year protocol IF we don’t drop the ball.

Below is an example, the writing is on the wall.

Stop apologising for this garbage, it is bad by association.

Gm nostriches, awesome nostr:nprofile1qqsr6je43dgdyrp7fkz47fel7pkyn0rt8ahx93p2a4z0y7r59l2hnkspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpramhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnvw43k2mn5d3skyuewvdhshvmgta chat with the man, the myth, the legend, nostr:nprofile1qqsf6hls5tv9ypxyp49vy7ajdzd7n992rvhl8lyy7y0uj37tr28mglspzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnhd3m8xtnnwpskxegmfjcgs. Maybe not the take you were expecting but loved the great white shark story.

Those tradfi bros need taking out on a boat to show them they’re not top of the food chain anymore. “See those sharks buddy, yeah, they’re #bitcoin” https://fountain.fm/episode/lpzUgmvP5LlAsQL8cGeu

True story! Very humbling, and I think your analogy is correct!

Got to chat with nostr:nprofile1qqsd0uazmzmhwseeym3rjhf3txyjapreapc6sq8yq8cy07cg45tlx2cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7dqfhve

on what bitcoin did!

We talk about what nations will do to secure Bitcoin:

They will pay miners a premium over spot to balance their grid and extract natural resources, they’ll receive coins in return. Assuring they have a steady incentive system for acquiring newly minted (no history) coins.

I’m really excited for people to hear this, as I think it’ll be the silver bullet!

At Bitcoin Bush Bash we got to go through an example of creating and implementing a timelock!
