"Bitcoin is many things to many people🙄, and not everyone has the same ideals or goals in mind😳. For people who use the Tonal number system, Bitcoin's ability to adapt to it is a "killer feature", and gives them reason to prefer it over their local fiat currencies. " Tonal systems are used in music by composers and musicians, particularly in the Nashville number system for popular music and the twelve-tone technique for classical music, and in languages by their native speakers. Linguistically, #tonal languages like many Chinese and Bantu languages use pitch to distinguish words, while musicians use systems like the Nashville system to simplify chord notation or the twelve-tone technique to compose atonal music. The goal of Tonal #Bitcoin is to bring Bitcoin to Tonal, not to redefine Tonal (which is older than hexadecimal) or advocate change to the #number system itself, so this is out of scope. image

from X @MajorianBTC What a soft fork #proposal could look like: Abstract This #BIP proposes two consensus rule changes to Bitcoin's protocol: (1) Enforcing a hard cap of 83 bytes on OP_RETURN data outputs, aligning with long-standing node policy to prevent arbitrary data bloat. (2) Introducing restrictions on witness data usage in Taproot scripts to curb the "inscriptions" and "ordinals" mechanism, which exploits witness discounts to embed non-financial data, inflating the UTXO set with unspendable outputs. These changes aim to preserve Bitcoin's focus on financial transactions while maintaining backwards compatibility for valid existing outputs. Motivation Bitcoin's protocol has evolved to support efficient, secure value transfer, but certain exploits have emerged that prioritize data storage over transaction utility, leading to network congestion, higher node resource demands, and UTXO set bloat. 1. OP_RETURN Data Limit: For over a decade, Bitcoin nodes have enforced a standardness policy limiting OP_RETURN outputs to 83 bytes (initially 40, later 80+3 for versioning). This prevents excessive null-data spam. However, consensus rules allow unlimited sizes, enabling miners to include larger outputs if they choose, potentially fragmenting the network or encouraging abuse. A consensus hard cap at 83 bytes codifies this policy, ensuring uniformity and reducing risks from oversized data. 2. Inscriptions and Ordinals 'Hack': Introduced via Ordinal theory, inscriptions embed arbitrary data (e.g., images, NFTs) into witness fields of Taproot spends, leveraging the 4x witness discount to store up to ~4MB cheaply. This creates unspendable UTXOs (e.g., via bare Taproot keys or annulled scripts) that bloat the UTXO set, as nodes must track them indefinitely. Ordinals assign "rarity" to satoshis based on inscription order, turning Bitcoin into a de facto data layer. This has caused chain bloat (e.g., 2023-2024 spikes in block sizes and fees), deviates from Bitcoin's monetary purpose, and burdens full nodes. The proposal mitigates this by restricting witness data in non-standard scripts, without censoring legitimate uses like multisig or covenants. These issues threaten Bitcoin's scalability and decentralization. This BIP addresses them through targeted consensus rules, drawing from community discussions (e.g., on mailing lists and forums) without introducing soft-fork complexities like CTV or new opcodes. Specification 1. OP_RETURN Hard Cap For new blocks after activation height [TBD, e.g., via BIP-9 signaling]:Any transaction output script beginning with OP_RETURN (0x6a) must have a data payload of exactly 0 to 83 bytes (inclusive). Payload is defined as the bytes following the OP_RETURN opcode, up to the script end. Transactions violating this are invalid at consensus level. This aligns with longstanding Bitcoin Core policy (max 83 bytes, including push opcodes). 2. Inscription Mitigation Target the common inscription pattern: Embedding data in Taproot witness stacks via unexecutable scripts (e.g., OP_FALSE OP_IF ... OP_ENDIF) or bare key spends where the witness holds arbitrary payloads. New consensus rules post-activation: For Taproot key-path spends (no script path): Limit witness stack size to 1 element (the signature), disallowing extra data. For Taproot script-path spends: If the script is non-standard (e.g., contains OP_SUCCESS or unverifiable paths leading to data drops), and the witness exceeds 520 bytes (standard push limit), mark as invalid. Introduce a "data-bearing output" flag: Outputs with witness-discounted data >1KB must be provably spendable (e.g., require a valid key or script that doesn't annul itself). Unspendable outputs (e.g., OP_RETURN-like in Taproot) are rejected if they embed >83 bytes of data. Exemptions: Legitimate uses like MAST (Merkleized Abstract Syntax Trees) or small metadata remain allowed if under limits. Activation: Via BIP-9 (version bits) with a 95% miner threshold over 2016 blocks, start height [TBD], timeout [1 year post-start]. Rationale OP_RETURN Cap: 83 bytes balances utility (e.g., for timestamps, commitments) with anti-spam measures. It's a de facto standard, minimizing disruption. Larger limits encourage abuse like file storage. Inscription Restrictions: Focuses on witness exploits without banning Taproot. Limits are inspired by existing stack/item size rules (e.g., 520 bytes). This reduces UTXO pollution (~10-20% bloat from inscriptions as of 2025) while preserving innovation. Alternatives like fee adjustments were considered but deemed insufficient, as they don't address unspendables. Soft fork design ensures old nodes see new blocks as valid, but new rules enforce on upgraded nodes. Community feedback: Builds on proposals like Luke Dashjr's inscription filters (2023) and avoids "censorship" debates by using objective size/spendability criteria. Backwards Compatibility All pre-activation transactions/outputs remain valid. Post-activation, non-compliant txs are rejected, but existing inscriptions/OP_RETURNs are grandfathered. Miners/nodes must upgrade; non-upgraded nodes may fork if activation occurs. No impact on wallets unless they create oversized data. #btc #bitcoin #datacarrier #non-witness #tolerant #minority #usecases  #economic #node #nodes #game #theory #financial #incentives #fee #estimation #ossification #mempool #logic #L2 #security #model #public #private #merge #softfork #disintermediation #user #free

from https://twitter.net/14g23h34 Unending Universal #Revolution & #BTC In this thread, we describe the psychological worldview of Marxism in relation to bitcoin #culture. In the previous thread, we touched on Marxism being a “revolutionary” worldview. What does revolutionary actually mean in this context? After all, there are just revolutions in response to tyranny. We need to be careful not to conflate the phenomena of revolutions per se with the individual psychology of a revolutionary Marxist. The pursuit of, or return to, Freedom should not be conflated with the motivation of personal pride. Bitcoin’s Revolution vs. Marxism Bitcoin is a revolution of the former: circumventing and replacing a tyrannical and corrupt banking structure built on abuse of the participants. How do we know? Because #Satoshi walked away. Marxism is an outgrowth of a narcissistic worldview. It is through a life of dissatisfaction, envy, or feelings of resentment that this person nurses the idea that it would be better to change everything that is. Marxist View of #Reality Reality is too restrictive and oppressive. The alluring and childlike desire to live in an imaginary world of your making requires everyone else to live in it with you. Children are the most harmless example of the phenomena, as children and their nature are as they should be. Marxism is infantile Youthful Ambition and #Temptation A young person, early in their career, joins an important firm and feels that urge to distinguish or prove themselves. It’s only natural, after all, they have a career to build. Solutions seem so simple, and all it would take to get recognized and build a body of work is turning (inverting) the founding values of the organization on their head. Understandable, even forgivable, because there’s no one that has not felt this temptation in youth. Adults with wisdom to see the error step in and mentor a revolutionary youth until life experience can show them that “progress” is an illusion in the absolute sense. There are only trade-offs. #Modernity and Fiat Culture When we’re young, new experiences, ideas, technologies, and features carry with them a self-justification because their novelty tickles the senses and amuses. #New = #Good, #Old = #Boring. In fact, our entire Global culture is captured by this convention of modernity: AND IS THE RESULT OF FIAT ECONOMIES. ●I must buy the “new” phone because it has the “new” feature. ○Therefore an Economy based on producing ever #derivative products with #obsolescence as the goal. ●Classical #art is “boring” it has no “originality”. ○Therefore popular culture producing ever degenerate material for shock value. ●Bitcoin is “useless” it has no “utility”. ○Therefore the desire to include more data, economic reports, jpegs, gifs, videos and #NFTS, p0rn. ~" In the era of unsound money, no artist has the low time preference to work as hard or as long as Michelangelo or Bach to learn their craft properly or spend any significant amount of time perfecting it. A stroll through a modern art gallery shows artistic works whose production requires no more effort or talent than can be mustered by a bored 6‐year‐old. Modern artists have replaced craft and long hours of practice with pretentiousness, shock value, indignation, and existential angst as ways to cow audiences into appreciating their art, and often added some pretense to political ideals, usually of the puerile Marxist variety, to pretend‐play profundity." S. Ammus /the bitcoin standard Fiat Brain and Marxist Mindset This is the Fiat brain default state. This is the addict’s need for immediate gratification. This is the juvenile’s desire to be ‘different’. This is the short time preference of value. This IS the insistent, and selfish world of the Revolutionary Marxist. The adult iteration takes a far more sinister path... Progress as a Weapon If the aforementioned young professional lacks proper mentorship, and is allowed to successfully implement their revolutionary agenda, they learn the lesson that “all change is good change”. Their desire for progress becomes totalizing, and is the lens through which they see all of reality… if it worked in the micro, why not use it in the macro? They then turn #PROGRESS as a weapon against the #social layers of law. There is no law that states I shouldn’t sit down in an elevator. There is no law that states I should have to bathe. But these are norms that we enforce at the social layer because in a strong culture that is the only place we should have to. This “law of the social layer” is where the adult Marxist attacks. Why? Because no law exists to stop them, and no normal person spends their time policing the unconscious day-to-day norms and relationships that we all take for granted Marxist View of the Body To the scientist, the human body is a technical biological marvel worthy of admiration for its complexity. To the religious, the body is a sacred icon of its creator, worthy of care and respect. But to the Marxist, the human body is viewed as a prison in which we are forced to experience suffering, disease, disabilities, aging, or physiological and biological restrictions, and the ultimate insult: Death. They ask "Should we not have full Mastery over the human body? Let us change it to be the “new man” recreated perfectly in its own reflection. #Transhumanism and Fiat Marxism The pipeline from BBLs and leg extensions to cybernetic implants is of course only logical from the revolutionary worldview. And the Fiat addict wants the new radical body augmentation, the latest pharmaceutical, the premium subscription #brain #chip without midroll ads! Transhumanism is only the modern regurgitating of far older ideas. Are you truly a man or a woman? Or is it simply the body you are imprisoned in? Creation is simply not good enough, and would be better shaped by anyone other than the creator. Fiat Theology Marxism is not a political worldview, it is a theological worldview. At this point the reader should roll their eyes🙄 and accuse me of making this a “religious issue”. But I’ll provide you with the opening words and dedication to Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” It is the seminal handbook for Marxist political movements since 1971: “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins—or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer Lucifer, Marx, and Satoshi I’m not asking you to be religious, nor am I trying to prove any supernatural aspect. I’m showing you that there are a limited set of human conditions, and for each of them there is a classical story that has been used to educate, #inspire, warn, or protect us during the few years each of us have on this earth. Lucifer judges creation and its creator as insufficient and takes it upon himself to replace God and INVERT reality to his own designs. Marx took direct inspiration from this act and created Marxism. Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” honors this tradition and continues the PROGRESSIVE, universal and PERMANENT revolution of Marxism. Satoshi created bitcoin, an economic Revolution overturning centuries of tyranny and corruption, saw that his creation was good, and then he left. Bitcoin’s Culture vs. Marxist Progress Satoshi's sacrificial act terminated the revolution within its intended boundaries instilling cultural laws and ethics into the social layer of bitcoin. This is a culture not of perpetual innovation or technological progress, but one thing only: Uncorruptible sound money. In my last thread I described ways that Marxists attack institutions, but for now focus on these two: 1. The founders and, 2. Identity/Culture. To them, Bitcoin is not #sound #money, it is a tool of #power and revolution to forward PROGRESS and shape the world. So you see to the Marxist... Satoshi Must Fall. Creation and its creator are simply not good enough, lacking, restrictive, unimaginative, unfair, and a new Creator must continue the work. I can smell it. “You see Satoshi did not create the 21 million limit… you see that was a bug… it had to be patched… The Creator erred." So I put the question to you as you’re reading this: Does Bitcoin have a culture worth conserving? How much of what makes Bitcoin ‘Uncorruptible sound money’ exists at the level of hard code, and how much of it is governed by unwritten culture, and relationships between node runners, miners, plebs, and devs? The Boomers will die, and then Gen X and so on. Marxism is never defeated. It shifts and moves to infect a new host and all ground not held will be taken in the name of permanent PROGRESS. https://github.com/bitcoin/bips https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0042 image #communism #socialist #bitvm #socialism #anarchist #comrade #marxist #libertarian #btc #bitcoin #fintech #defi #cypherscam #paperpunks #bapp #privilege #non-witness #tolerant #minority #usecases  #economic #node #nodes #game #theory #financial #incentives #fee #estimation #rambo #ossification #relax #siamstr #zap #runknots nostr:nprofile1qqsvfr3f7p95stxqrjslnmuvsmhcxxxqt8swjdfjx5tz7zq0yms5cygpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpzdmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82c30av56d8
