For anyone in opposition or on the fence about 110, if you cannot point to how 110’s tighter limits inhibit your use of the network, then perhaps you don’t have a principled reason to oppose it. Dare I say, 110 probably better serves your interests. image
Regarding BIP110: If your argument depends on “how” “who” “what” or “when” while ignoring “why,” you’re doing battle against a strawman.
Bitcoin is a “why” before a “what.” Telos informs its technicals. Function has primacy. Purpose cannot be divorced from the act of running Bitcoin software.

Why would anyone want a non-110 block? 110 blocks have better specs. What does a non-110 block do better than a 110 block? #asknostr

For me it all turns on defensibilty. 110 is either ≥ legacy legacy is either ≤ 110 with 110, we can win more defensibilty with legacy, we can win _____ How do you fill in the blank? Why should I play russian roulette? #asknostr #BIP110 #core #bitcoin

nakamoto consensu is sausage made from everyone putting their dick on the chopping block it’s not about being right or wrong it’s about putting it out there

For the people who don't like conflict and the BIP110 war, just know it is necessary. It's a gift to both sides, no matter who comes out on top. If you don't test your ideas against proof of work and put them in the fire, you have no fucking clue what they are really made of.

#bitcoin ‘s consensus is an expression of collective self-interest. I think not understanding that dynamic relation is the principled root cause of all #BIP110 contention.

Syllogism: 1) If it is true that BIP110 is unnecessary, then the set of possible malicious attacks of 2^83 must be equal to 2^100,000 2) the sets of possible malicious attacks are NOT equal 3) MT ∴ BIP100 is necessary

what is the issue with this line of reasoning: 1) acknowledge 100k makes network less defensible that 83. 2) acknowledge benefit of 100k < defense of 83 3) acknowledge BIP110 > current consensus rules #asknostr #bitcoin #nostr #core #knots #BIP110 #v30
