Drivechains

Alright people, we are playing a game of chess here. The one thing, the absolute one thing, we can't do is give up the king. To give up the king, in my humble opinion, is to mess up the base layer. This mistake would disrupt the delicate incentive structure that ensures sound money. That sound money pegs the extremely fragile credit markets and out-of-control G7 policymakers that are creating clown world with their CB fiat policies.

We don’t need the sound, pegged, money to move fast, we don’t need the money to do smart swoopty things, we just need it to be pegged, immutable, and digitally sailable to actually stop the madness of clown world.

By introducing a whole lot of technical complexity to the base layer and potentially screwing with the incentives all so we can connect to a bunch of centralized shitcoin projects is like playing offense with the king when you’re down 7 pieces and the other player still has their entire back row at their disposal.

A. Why the rush!?

B. Why not just go use Monero if you need that level of anominity in your transactions. Why do you have to have it in a wrapper via drivechains?

C. Why risk the king without deep understanding and testing of the technical risk and potential change to incentives?

The beauty of Bitcoin is you can build it and softfork it, and we’ll let the community vote with their nodes. BUT, I for one, have no use for drivechains (that doesn’t mean everyone is like me). And as a result, I will not be updating my node and running any attempted “secret” softfork updates by the miners.

I remember drivechains coming up in Twitter threads a few years ago - and I will be honest, I can't remember the technicalities.

What I do know is bitcoin needs to retain it's anti-fragile properties.

I would have to be extremely sure there were no second order effects before I run anything on my node. ( and I will be relying on the smart boys to break stuff down for me into single syllable works for me lmao )

There was a chap on Twitter that would have some good insight ( and a large sample size. )

Brian Harrington - he used to get merchants up and running, and did local talks etc.

I am unsure if he made it over here, and I no longer have the bird app to check / ask.

Good idea, if people use them. Our old office had a few - people used to just sit at them lol

Where you get told there is a water shortage, and are not 'allowed' to water the garden, wash your car, etc etc.

I shit you not, it has rained here practically every day since June!

It's warm, but I'm going to get trench foot if this doesn't stop!
