Thank you Matthew Really appreciate your work

Might be one of your worst takes. Luke is a statist, and the state he wants is a theocratic authoritarian nightmare. He is openly hostile to privacy. Not surprising you are into him considering your Thiel connections. The authoritarians always find each other. The picture falls into place more and more. An anti privacy pro state hostile take over of bitcoin rooted in dumb moralism and blind devotion. I was initially thinking this was all accidental but it’s becoming clear what future you all want. Thankfully I think the cypherpunk ethos is still strong enough to remove this parasitic behavior.

MK on top of his game

what are you talking about

Nice one Matthew 🤙

Every video Matt posts makes me angrier. And I think a lot of the blame lies with us, the community, for giving in to complacency, without considering that having only one client could be a key point of compromise.

I'M HAPPY FOR YOU, OR SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU - EITHER WAY I'M NOT READING THAT SLOP

Cool story

Are they really calling the removal of spam censorship??? wtf 😅

Where is the Lopp comment today? Maybe is building a good prompt for an answer.

Everything you just said is the opposite. Luke built an alternative client - that is literally decentralizing at the node level. His views on privacy are irrelevant here because Bitcoin was not originally intended to be private, that is simply a narrative to be debated (there good arguments for both sides here). However - Bitcoin was originated shipped implementing a fully public, transparent base layer. Also ad hominem attacks on Kratter are irrelevant- especially since he’s been honest about his past life and addressed this fully. The truth is that core is attempting to centralize Bitcoin at the node level and they failed. No amount of VC funding can change Bitcoin because Luke decentralized it. If Luke makes unwanted changes, another client will emerge, offer stricter rules and decentralize it further. But the era of people attempting to control BTC at the social/node level is over. #bip110

The alternative node is not the issues and has in practice done very little for decentralization. Your node is your business. The issue is an emergency soft fork and the insinuations that anyone who doesn’t support it is a pedo. It’s not an emergency and if you have serious reservations around the current consensus model you would hard fork. Luke’s views on the state are relevant to the consensus systems we adhere to. He will readily sacrifice privacy and this is a slippery slope for a system that is under constant nation state attack. Kratter has moved from one demagogue to another who share the same authoritarian leanings and th same insane biblical delusions. He clearly has a blindness when it comes to autocratic personalities.

What privacy is he going to sacrifice and how?

Knots and ocean both excluded op returns in excess of 42 bytes when while whirlpool transactions by samurai typically need 46 bytes. Only someone who wants the state to control bitcoin would take such a course of action.

God bless Luke Dashjr (Luke 14:11)!

On censorship vs. filtering: If the post office opens your letter to check for dissident thought, and won't let it through, that's censorship. If they say, "no, you can't mail a 2x1x1 meter object, whether it's a fridge or a pallet of gold bars; go to DHL", that's filtering. The salient difference is not government (or Big Tech, but I repeat myself) involvement.

I am guessing software developers and people in general never want to tighten or removes options and would always prefer to widen and add options. I believe Luke is a very rare developer and person as well as Dathon Ohm. Years from now if Bip 110 is successful it will seem obvious but it probably had to always start with just a few unique individuals that got the ball rolling.

Bingo

lol this one is brilliant 😂
