Pretty sure he means any features of a desired chain can be had with a side chain, but BTC is the common denominator, no special token.

So if there's demand people will peg in BTC, vs generating fake demand with a fake token.

Drivechainers claim that miner incentives on L1 wouldn't change, just increase profits.

From my understanding their claim sits on the idea that any sidechain created still uses bitcoins, and the only way to get bitcoins is by using the mainchain.

Also, I'm not sure about everyone up in arms about "shitcoinery on btc" as new tokens aren't necessarily created - rather just trustless pegging in Btc & then peg out just like LN.

Introducing a bug on the mainchain is what everyone is always worried about, as am I, but if we look at previous code changes,

Taproot,

Segwit,

There have been no critical bugs, & these upgrades were highly necessary imho.

It seems to me that the only point we should be focusing on is miner incentives, not what drivechains can or can't do.

I believe we need to maintain intellectually thorough discourse on how people feel mining incentives will play out.

Hopefully this is executed with long format writings, making points that are backed up by substance.

What we have now is tribalism on a topic that needs coherence, regardless of the outcome.

I don't think saifedean's opinion on drivechains is anymore useful than any pleb out there, he's an economist - not a technologist.

If you ever need help with GitHub, don’t ask me. I’ll delete your stuff without knowing it 😂

Apple's ban on zapping notes on Damus is being worked around. For now, probably use ZapplePay with Alby if you want to zap a note. Upload video to nostr.build and add link to note.

Did you know in US the government can take your property away at any point for public good reasons?

All they need to do is provide you with “just” compensation which usually means the lowest amount possible unless you get an attorney involved.

It’s called eminent domain and it happens quite often.

हां मैं इसका ही यूज़ करता था लेकिन यह परिणाम अलग-अलग टाइम पर अलग-अलग बताता है, जैसे अभी चेक करो तो सब ठीक लेकिन 1 घंटे बाद चेक करूं तो कुछ अलग ही रिजल्ट आता है।
