Has anyone tried developing a soft fork that would actually verifiably stop all spam? 1. Make a new address type that has a public key + proof of knowledge. 2.5x larger than current addresses. No script nothing else. 2. disable spending to anything other than the new address type. Spam solved. You could modify (1) to allow raw multisig also. You can actually do lightning without script using MuSig + adaptor signatures. So everything keeps working… in theory :)

I see a few people calling people “unethical” or “dishonest” for their technical opinions. Don’t do this, as good as it feels. Pick up your cross and just make arguments.

“I’m waiting for my bags to have one last pump so I can rotate to BTC” is the best genre of post.

Oh my sides. It's unbelievable that if not for Bitcoin the entire human species would have been forever enslaved to this preposterous system.
