For anyone interested, there’s now a Telegram channel to discuss BIP110 URSF specifics:

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". ...

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 →

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.

Matthew Kratter (@Matthew Kratter) will talk shit about Bitcoin Core devs and other bitcoiners from behind his monitor reading out pre-written scripts all day long, but he does not even have the balls to come on a podcast and defend his position. View quoted note →

Do you think bitcoin should be used for monetary transactions? Use bitcoin for monetary transactions, then.

FWIW I agree you don’t have to be an anarchist to use Bitcoin. …But Bitcoin *is* an anarchist form of money. If you don’t like that, use fiat. View quoted note →

Yo @Matthew Kratter let’s do this.

In case anyone is wondering, for BIP444 @Luke Dashjr @Luke Dashjr is willing to throw BIP8 soft fork activation overboard in favour of a flag day activation with no miner signaling.

A new Bitcoin, Explained episode appeared! On Bitcoin Core 30, the non-drama edition. With @Sjors Provoost (possibly compromised).

Actual fork futures (as per @npub1emdt...c9aw’s proposal for example) would be much better, but this is nice too: View quoted note →
