Miners are under no obligation to include specific transactions into a block. Always has been. Said differently, you can’t coerce a miner into including a specific transaction into a block. Miners excluding specific transactions from a block is not censorship because Bitcoin is voluntary all the way down. Always has been. Some of these devs need to get this NorCal rot out of their brain. They’d coerce miners into *including* all transactions into their block. They want to turn Bitcoin into San Francisco.

Part of the problem is that some devs, to save face, won’t admit that their support for taproot was a mistake. Generally, devs want more features. Everybody else just wants sound money with only as many features as *absolutely necessary*.

“What do you mean you don’t want Simplicity on Bitcoin???”

GM, we’re not all on the same team.

A good heuristic is to do the opposite of whatever Corallo says. Zero integrity, nonstop lies, and looks like he’d lose in a fight to a light breeze.

https://www.youtube.com/live/5CN-gZqwzMI Scott finally lets it rip on broken money around 45 mins and Darryl is utterly stunlocked. Darryl’s only rebuttal is that sorry, debt-based money is too Lindy so we’re locked into it forever. God bless you Scott for finally putting Darryl in his place. The only problem is that apparently neither realizes that the fiat system has to transition to Bitcoin. I expect Bob Murphy will do another episode on Darryl’s nonsense. View quoted note →

How would you respond to a UTXO set spam attack by a well funded actor like a large government? Right now, the only response I can hear is “too bad, you can’t stop spam.”

For the record, fees alone would not stop a UTXO set spam attack from a large government. A defense would have to be mounted. View quoted note →

If segwit had consensus, who was the blocksize war against?

Great interview at the end of a local police officer who was (illegally) fired over the use of the cameras. He couldn’t raise the money to take it to court. View quoted note →

When police departments say they can't solve crimes without Flock, it's like a student saying they can't take tests or complete their homework without Al.

Apparently caring and acting are cringe. Bitcoin is overrun with blasé. You don’t need to worry, problems will resolve on their own and if they don’t, someone will take care of it.

We just gaslight you and say nothing is wrong, sorry can’t do anything about it anyway, Bitcoin is ossified now too late. View quoted note →
