How can anyone be sure the coins were actually stolen and not just conjoined by himself?

Always accuse the other side of what you are doing is another fed tactic. The more I learn the more I see my instincts about dash are correct.

Would you support Core reverting v30 changes to OP_RETURN? From what I’ve seen of BIP110 proponents (and I can’t speak of Luke’s views because he blocked me years ago and I have previously warned of Bitcoin Luke’s Vision) - they are monetary maximalists, they do not want paper Bitcoin and will sacrifice NGU for that. So to say they want paper markets to dominate I’d say is completely mischaracterising them. Core is fukt IMO. Gloria should never have been maintainer - that is obvious. She sucked cock to get there. Andrew wants to chop his dick off and can push code which will break my life savings if he can’t be bothered fixing it. What he does depends on whether he feels like Andrew or Ava when he opens his laptop and I wouldn’t let such a person anywhere near me but he can do open heart surgery on my money if he likes.. So how about a reset? How about Core cops to what they did, they eject Andrew for being completely fucking unstable, they commit to not rolling changes that were majority NACKed by the community and we start fresh? Could you accept that?

You think spam helps scaling? retarded take. removing arbitrary data does not hurt scaling, it helps it, leaving more room for channel opens, closes, monetary transactions. Please enlighten me as to how a single 4mb jpeg taking up a whole block is going to fucking HELP scaling?

Did I say that spam helps scaling? No. Grow a brain.

Remember Mike Hearn? History doesn't repeat but it rhymes. The Knots fork smells the same as XT and Cash, and their proponents were equally as confident and misguided. It's painfully obvious but unfortunately none of the knots people have been in bitcoin for very long (vast majority seem to be making the kind of mistakes that are only made by the post 2016 crowd) and will take a couple more cycles to understand.

He's too much of a pussy to lie to the FBI.

It makes sense for mempool relay policy to match consensus policy, otherwise you give an unfair advantage to large miners. 80% of the community are new to bitcoin but think they know everything because they listened to some podcasts and read some books, and wearing other people's opinions like a jacket. Only a small percentage has been around long enough to have actually lived through the last time this happend with Mike and then Jihan. From my perspective, Core has been under attack for well over a decade, which is why most people quit and the competence level keeps dropping. We definitely have a problem, but Luke and his cult sending death threats etc are just the latest useful idiots in a long line of them which to my memory really started with Mike. The best option is to pile in with Eric Voeskuil and libbitcoin.
