This question is why NOSTR is so hopeful. Objective, creative, interesting questions is what makes solution media. More questions like this when we aren’t sure about something and we’re gonna be ok. nostr:nevent1qqs0tqm8l2tqz7yvcjqr42tu34z450xr9t6zgq7pcjtqfswp28grn3gprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctve77vuy

This is where my technical ignance becomes an advantage🤔 Huh??!?😂 …now if they eventually hard fork I’ll ignantly keep both sets of coins…and thru blissful ignance have remained tru to my libertarian btc’er roots while clearly demonstrating my patriotism …it’s a win win😳😂👍🏽

Hedging with the State?! Burn him!! 🔥🔥🔥

I tolt u MF I’m ignant🤨🤦🏽‍♂️

Remember the 14 years when people celebrated how bitcoins legal status was grey (at best)

Ignant like a fox!

😳😂

I’m here for separation of money and State. So, in short, “No”. That would be time for men to be courageous outlaws.

I’d say “Fork Off”

Good luck getting the rest of the world (outside their jurisdiction) to agree to those terms

Eww, no

Fedjacketing is fed behavior.

Great question, and it's a conversation I'm not sure we're ready to have. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpsnz9jgkmxusuy9grv46v7cehh7966lzdsjh2mglnyxn0pwwzdsmqqs0tqm8l2tqz7yvcjqr42tu34z450xr9t6zgq7pcjtqfswp28grn3ggfjfxv

No, I wouldn't.

If I thought the fork was a net benefit then yes, regardless of who is proposing it. If not, then no. Of course, if its a government trying to force it then its almost certainly not good. However, if its a voluntary thing, where people can choose for themselves, then I'm all for that.

User Rejected Softfork is an as-of-yet misunderstood aspect of #Bitcoin Game Theory 🤔

Except that's not what's going on with BIP-444 🤷‍♂

Overruled. Speculation. Goes to arguments by both sides.

But they’re saving Bitcoin 😂😂

Depends if I agree the fork is better for Bitcoin or not. Period. Who wrote the software and what their legal opinions may be do not factor into my decision.

Then they wouldn't understand the basics of bitcoin, a peer to peer electronic cash system. PEER TO PEER No government No bank No central authority They cannot declare something illegal that they have no access to. Now, go to your favourite coffeeshop and talk them into accepting bitcoin. 🟠

What would you do with your node if even one CP gets into opreturn? This is a sincere question.

Does the new node software change the fundamental use case of Bitcoin?

I run knots because i hate core, but tell me if CSAM has been uploaded to the chain yet? Nothing burger! This issue needs to be spearheaded at the miner level and not the node level.

Nope. I would imagine any such shitcoiners would be rejected by the main economic actors since violating the fundamental usecase of bitcoin makes the network worthless.

Inherently.

😯Support soft fork? Oooo... HELL NO 😑 😶😶😶

more optionality ! let's have a second and a third iteration. And don't forget not to update !

What if it’s only “temporary,” though…? 😬

If the coffeeshop needs an easy way to accept bitcoin: https://swiss-bitcoin-pay.ch?refCode=BTCGVA

Let’s do a quick thought experiment. Imagine a government wants to attack Bitcoin. What could they do? They can compromised a number of developers. The developers could start slowly degrading Bitcoin. They could change the definition of Bitcoin being "digital currency that uses peer-to-peer technology" to just be a "peer-to-peer network". They could change the definition of the datacarriersize. Using that as argument they could deny fixing the inscriptions spam. Then they could use the inscriptions spam as an argument that spam is unstoppable so they better blow up OP_RETURN and invite even more spam. Just like BSV did after which someone uploaded CSAM to the BSV blockchain.

The point is that Bitcoin is money not data storage. Core 30 brings BS and we should do

When govt says “temporary” 🫣

F the DS.

That's a tough one. First, let me state that I will never upgrade to v30. I'll keep my old node has long as it works. If need be, I'll switch to whatever other implementation is possible at that time. Second, if the kind of content you mentioned makes it into op_return, I think I will : 1. make my node private, 2. have a new node that will be pruned to keep as little data as possible and have that be the public-facing node (again, as long as it's a previous version of Core or it's Knots), and 3. configure my private node (1) to only connect to my pruned node. I might also consider a satellite node, so it never connects to anyone else. Hopefully, some third implementation comes along. If the kind of bad content you mentioned makes it into op_return and if neither older versions of Core nor Knots work, and if we don't get a third implementation, I'll stop running a node. That the Core team got it that bad, and then doubled-down, really shook my faith in the project. I felt spiritual clarity during the blocksize war and the bcash fork. This is different. That both Greg Maxwell and Adam Back seem to have lost the plot is very concerning. I never trusted Newberry since I saw him drop a pen during a presentation and not pick it up again. Someone who is not autistic enough to feel like he must pick up the pen that he dropped, shouldn't be touching the code for the monetary system of all of humanity. I also don't trust his underlings. I still want to believe that bitcoin is "manifest destiny", that Bitcoin is destined to be humanity's best weapon against the dystopia that the Parasites are pushing on us. That bitcoin is the fire from Prometheus. I used to feel that, but with these events, this belief has been shaken and is now only a hope. nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgqgzx3h nostr:nprofile1qyvhwue69uhkyat8d4skutndva6hjtnwv46r5dpcxsuqz9nhwden5te0vfjhgcfwdehhxarjd9kzucmpd5qzqxvfqd89dw8kqmrjfaz6zt8gfggcg93p4tm3s2slv4jrszuugfmt74rjkj #bitcoin #btc #node #core #knots

This will happen. Then it is your choice to stay or go.

Obvious once you see it.

No, I would not. Now, let's do another thought experiment: Imagine the Core team decides to radically change bitcoin into a piece of software that openly states that it welcomes any non-monetary-transaction-content, legal or illegal, and will relay it. They decide to call it v30. Would you run v30? Is that the hill you choose?
