Actual childhood trauma 😢

Let's wait 15 years then rename zaps bolts. Fucking genius.

It's too late. Reputations take a lifetime to build & seconds to destroy.

GM #nostr - night fishing at the Camber, treated to a short fireworks display. Phone cameras have gotten so much better, this snap wouldn't have worked a few years ago. In the background is the Spinnaker Tower, and closer to we have the Isle of Wight ferry. #photography #portsmouth

Such a glorious day and I have to go to the fiat mine 🥳☀️ On the plus side, I'm going night fishing this eve and this time I have a plan. All I've done for the last few trips is feed the crabs and not had a single real bite, so this time I'm adjusting my trace so that I outsmart the little feckers amd bring home some dinner. I can remember when my life was a lot harder than it is now 😂

GM #nostr Still considering my opinion regarding the op return debate. At the moment I'm considering that the 1MB block size limit was probably an early attempt to prevent spam clogging the network, despite the generally relatively small size of blocks at the time. If that was indeed part of Satoshi's intention, then it can be argued that anti spam filtering has been a consideration in Bitcoin for a long time. Therefore, the recent argument isn't a new one, it's just a new version of what's gone before. Personally, I'm in favour of filtering blatantly non critical data from the block chain. The current limit has worked well for years and doesn't need to change. Another concern is the second order effects which we can't see or predict yet. Taproot should have given everyone pause for thought; Yeah, it was a great shiny new upgrade that enabled this that and the other new clever thing. Then it was manipulated to do other things that wouldn't have happened of not for taproot. What would the consequences be for this upgrade, directly in terms of what new attack vectors are opened up, and indirectly, in terms of how it affects people's mindset about the nature of Bitcoin, in the years ahead. I currently think that the limits we have are enough, economics should drive out the utxo spam, eventually and we should now move to maintain things as they stand. The only upgrades to Bitcoin that I'm interested in, going forward, are those which add to and improve security or speed of communication across the network.
