Is the only current option manually restoring to the BTC core wallet? Because that would be tough for most users though certainly possible…

I’m sure you and Becca would try to exit gracefully but just always good to consider

Ive gotten a couple thousand sats on nostr zapped to me over the past few weeks.

Today at bitcoin park, my wife wanted a seltzer. You pay for drinks via lightning, and I insisted on paying for it to say, “My shitposting is providing for this family.”

How do you measure that band that you call it "narrow"? You don't know if many of node runners will ever express themselves except by choosing what to run and not say a word. They just run what they value is best for them not for spammers.

Do you worry if today's controversial OP_RETURN PR merger is going to negatively affect the push to enable CTV + CSFS?

"You can just do things!" Well, not really. Core has a tremendous amount of latent power for at least two reasons:

(i) every business has basically hardcoded the use of that implementation with levels of risk aversion surpassing "never got fired for buying IBM," creating an amazing de facto monopoly on economic nodes, and

(ii) bitcoin is so complicated tha

t any non-developer inherently must delegate to some technical authority they trust, and Core winds up (for most sane people) being the target of that delegation.

This is a tremendous amount of sticky power. To not acknowledge that is naive.

Yes, in theory a large part of the ecosystem could decide to run an alternate implementation - but the switching/coordination/incidental-risk costs there are huge. It would take a 5-10x reward:risk proposition for most businesses to switch.

And meanwhile, the Core line is so often "well running another implementation would be dangerous! think of the possible consensus incompatibilities!" Convenient.

This single chokepoint is going to be a big problem for bitcoin, even if the filters issue isn't per se an epitome of it."

You are requesting to the losers and commies who likely don't run their own nodes.

And yes HAVE FUN STAYING CORE...!!!
