I think most Bitcoiners haven’t fully grokked how much work Gloria (and Greg Sanders and others) did to get package relay and zero-fee anchors and TRUC over the line and how absolutely critical this work is to Lightning, Ark, Spark, and nearly everything bitcoiners are going to be using over the next few years.

I definitely don’t… any good resources to start understanding?
Cool but how is her bussy grip game? is that how she got promoted?
I want Gloria and woke minded alike far away from the protocol. Go play with toys, idiots.
Perhaps if Core realized they were, whether they liked it or not, a political entity, and had accordingly crafted a public comms strategy, this whole debacle could have been mitigated. Instead they let literal trolls and influencers shape the debate. As such, they've squandered a metric fuckton of political capital on a standardness change and almost guaranteed any actual substantial changes in the future will be an even bigger clusterfuck. The people who want to change Bitcoin most ironically just did a huge service to ossification.
Bitcoin has a unanswered governance problem and it will continue to be like this.
But we must protect the children! Urgent fork now or bitcoin dies!
They have a long way to go to reform their image as a pack of insouciant children, each riding their own little hobby horse.
Good thing they got it in before ossification (v30).
Probably best place is just knowing that both Ark and Spark rely on it from day one, and that Lightning will upgrade to it, finally removing the biggest cause of unintended force-closures while plugging one of its biggest security holes. Optech definitely has coverage (and is usually the best place to learn about some of these kinds of topics - https://bitcoinops.org/en/topics/ephemeral-anchors/ and https://bitcoinops.org/en/topics/v3-commitments/ )
You gonna step up and do that critical work to make massive gains in Bitcoin security and usability? I didn’t think so.
Yeah it's an insane amount of work for a decent sized fix. I think you're right about how important it is. I think also demonstrates that we are approaching the point of diminishing returns for changes to bitcoin core mempool policy. Time for a new model.
If you have any suggestions for incentive-compatible mempool designs I’m sure people would love to hear them! :)

Code is subserivent to ideas, Matt.
For now, I prefer running a client that respects common sense by leaving the filters at their default settings and letting me adjust them if I prefer, like Knosts, rather than running Core V30, which blew everything up because of idiots like you. And yes, if necessary, I'd rather die than have incompetents like you on my team. UASF is around the corner.
That doesn’t excuse the oversight of lifting the OP_RETURN limit, which sends a legal signal that bitcoin is a haven for arbitrary storage (rather than tightening it, sending the opposite signal). If you don’t get it, then you clearly don’t understand the threat environment.
Fork off
Governance can be gamed.
I welcome your forked coins
I don’t support BIP-444. You’re missing the point. Open your ears.
Then we have nothing to make a point about. Conensus is consensus.
we will double our bitcoin balances inshallah
Spend it wisely. Because claerly you are not.
Why do you think increasing the OP_RETURN limit is good for bitcoin?
Who asked for the increase? Plebs? I didn’t see any asking for it.
Thanks!
Sure.
its also a natural self emerging phenomenon.
its not optional.
As a less technical pleb, which version did these features get merged into? Trying to learn more. Currently running 29.2 native Core as a fence-sitter 🤷♂️
For the record, I don’t support Luke at all…
But this legal risk is real.
I would be impressed if I actually understood any of it 😄
It doesnt matter, if the vacuum can be gamed too.

You’ve been duped.
Mostly in 29, though Knots disabled them. 🤦♂️
(They were made materially more robust in 30, however)
So that’s a “no”, you’ll shit on people doing actual work and contribute nothing. Well done 👍
Lol no I haven’t. You just don’t understand the threat environment.
Increasing the bucket size is pointless.
Why is it a good thing for bitcoin? Who asked for it?…
When you push through contentious changes, it tends to overshadow any good work being done. #Enshitcoinification
Where did I make such a statement?
And do many FOSS features come from user feature requests?
Unsung proof-of-work. The future of Bitcoin scales on the patience of a few who never sought the spotlight. Salute.
My no is less destructive.
You’re the one telling me to fork off! All I said was Core didn’t need to increase the limit — all this drama would’ve been avoided. No one asked for it. It helps nothing.
"Yo, you really think I’m gonna sleep on that? What’s the game plan, fam? Let’s get it poppin’ and level up that BTC security! 🔥💪 #Bitcoin"
I would be more concerned about the serious privacy and centralization risk of Spark, and the Lightning affiliate scamming by Ark calling themselves an L2
There is no doubt that Gloria is a great engineer, but that's not the point
Spark is garbage from the outset. We'll see about how Ark actually helps trustless p2p exchange of bitcoin. I think it won't. Lightning is also becoming increasingly centralized, hostile/useless for nodes with pleb-reasonable capacity, and dominated by morons selling nothing but needless complexity and surveillance. Thus far, I'm not impressed.
I will share it when it's ready. I don't have all the puzzle pieces yet.
Bitcoin is money not data storage that is the only thing really matter
So true! 🙌 Huge shoutout to Gloria, Greg, and the team for their amazing work! These updates are game-changers for the Lightning network and the whole Bitcoin community. Exciting times! 🚀💪
We are looking for an investor who can lend 150,000 US dollars to our holding company.
We are looking for an investor who can invest 150,000 US dollars in our holding.
We are looking for an investor who can provide a budget of 150,000 US dollars for our holding.
With a budget of 150,000 US dollars that you will invest in our holding, we will produce an artificial intelligence-supported device called Mindova, which will measure people's physical and mental data and evaluate this data with artificial intelligence, guiding people in a healthy life.
“Mindova” is an artificial intelligence-supported coach that analyzes your personal health data (sleep, heart rate, step count, mood, blood values, nutrition, etc.).
Mindova is a device that analyzes the user's physical and mental data with artificial intelligence and works as a personal health assistant.
People experience mental fatigue, stress, and physical health problems. However, everyone's lifestyle, biology, and psychology are different. Current apps offer "general recommendations," not personalized ones.
Stress, anxiety, lack of focus, insomnia and loss of motivation are on the rise in people worldwide. Current wellness apps give everyone the same advice, there are no personalized solutions. People want a healthy life but can't find a personal system to guide them.
AI-based mental health applications, in particular, are one of the areas where investors are currently pouring the most money (Calm, Headspace, Wysa, Replika, Mindstrong, etc.).
In short, the applications at the lower level of the project we are doing are generating billions of dollars. We are building a project that receives large investments across the market.
We will sell our product at a price of 300 US dollars.
We will have our product produced by technology companies in India, thus eliminating the need for labor and producing a quality product at a low cost.
We will sell our product in two ways. First, we will create our own website, display our product internationally on our website and sell it all over the world. Thanks to our strong advertising network, we will introduce and sell our products to many people and achieve large sales in a short time. Second, we will make agreements with technology stores around the world and sell them to them. They will sell to people in their own countries and earn money.
There will be a 2-month production process and a 2-month sales process, so we will be able to achieve great income by working quickly and in a balanced manner.

Bitcoin doesn't send any signals to lawyers and police and governments other than fuck off. Fuck you. Get Fucked. Go to Hell. and Up yours.
I think I only got interested in these details thanks to the amount of attention that the forking retards drew to relay policy and their attack on scaling solutions such as Lightning and Ark
So, thank you nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk and nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr for giving me the motivation to learn more about, and to appreciate much more, the great work that Bitcoin Core are doing to scale Bitcoin as programmable money for the world
Garbage in the timechain is the point!
Plz fork
You bet.
Most people don’t realize that Lightning and so much of Bitcoin’s next-gen stack only exist because of relentless work by folks like Gloria and Greg. True unsung heroes. ⚡
