I was tagged in an X post by @npub1r8l0...x5dk correctly dismantling the false narrative that BIP110 is today largely supported by the small block faction of the block size war era. There’s been a bunch of stolen valor post-block size wars: maxis that associated themselves with the small block movement, but actually weren’t around at all during the 2015-2017 years, or at least weren’t well-known at the time. Out of the prominent small blockers of these days, I believe *only* @Luke Dashjr @Luke Dashjr is now in favour of BIP110. Everyone else that I can think of is either against it, or maybe in a few cases still kind of neutral/undecided. FWIW

An incorrect talking point amongst some of the BIP110 crowd seems to be that "it's the same people who were small blockers in 2017 on our side". ...

As I already alluded to earlier today, unless and until any of these guys are willing to take this offer I really think they’re best ignored. No need to invite them on your podcast, or hoist them onto your conference stage for yet another debate, or write a BIP110 explainer as if it’s at all serious. All bark, no bite. View quoted note →

If you always find yourself on the opposite end of expert consensus you don’t have an independent mind— you’re a brainless contrarian. View quoted note →

I received a few requests to write an article or record a podcast on BIP110, but frankly I don’t see the point right now. Until someone is willing to put their money (no one has taken on @npub1emdt...c9aw’s fork futures offer) or hash power (not even Ocean is signaling support) where their mouth is, it’s little more than a DOS-attack on our attention and time.

The Knots crowd has become toxic enough that I do in fact hope they fork off. I’ll happily sell my BIP110 coins back to them—assuming there will be enough blocks on this chain for these transactions to confirm—and they can go their Bcash way.
