Ikr, there's an ongoing attack and it feels like I'm the only one doing anything (at least it's a small crowd)

Yes, it was actually a surprise to me when sipa announced the block size increase addition.

But at the time, we thought it a necessary compromise to appease the (would-become) bcashers

4) The "Bitcoin Independence Day" is only coincidentally related to Segwit. The relevance of it is rejecting control of Bitcoin by miners. Several developers attempted to re-assert miner control over Bitcoin 2 years ago with Taproot (so-called "Speedy Trial"), and it's important to remember what "Bitcoin Independence Day" was all about (and the lessons we supposedly learned) and push back against that to ensure it never happens again.

3) Increasing the block size has only limited/reduced access to run Bitcoin full nodes, not ensured it. Node counts have dropped drastically (50%!) since then, and it is clear in retrospect that the block size increase was a huge mistake.

2) Segwit's block size increase was technically a nice hack to cleanly implement it, and without a hardfork. But it truly did increase the block size limit, and is not any more space-efficient in that regard.

1) Segwit does not separate signatures from transactions. It shuffles them around slightly, but that's all. (The primary difference is that they are not used in the transaction id calculation.)

Not all facts are in Scripture. This one is. But you still have to read it, not cut pieces out of context.

God isn't subject to your imagination

nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk: Is there a list of who are the participants of that ā€œdeveloper mailings listā€? So far I have not read any comment regarding the relevant aspects of this topic.

Anyone can participate

Prior to Jesus, everyone who died either went to Hell, or what is now called the limbo of the fathers (in older renditions, also considered Hell). When Jesus died for our (including their) sins, the just were freed from that limbo, and are now in Heaven with Him.

When we die, our soul will be immediately judged and go to Hell or (possibly with a stop in purgatory) Heaven. At the end of the world, our bodies will be resurrected also, and we will all be judged again generally, collectively, and publicly. The damned will return to Hell with their bodies in whatever state they are in, while the just will return to Heaven with glorified/restored bodies.

Maybe he means because this world has too many real conspiracies 🤣
