Both talks are pretty milk-brain, to be honest. James O'beirne: Don't worry about centralization risks because you can just trust cores, assumevalidUTXO, plus, who runs a full node anyway, Pleb? Then, trust miners to broadcast weak blocks for mempool diffs (totally small change and not a way to DDoS the Peer Gossip Network.🙄) Jamison Lopp: But the miners money. Money miners. We need miner money. Please bro, you gotta trust me. This is about miners making money. Let me put shitcoins on Bitcoin, man. Honestly, the through line in both of their talks is that we should care more about miners than the node runners. And honestly, fuck miners. If mining isn't a profitable business looks like they're just going to have to collapse then. All of these extra mental gymnastics and mealy mouth rationale all to say "help me keep my ad hoc industry alive." No.
