"Maybe not literally but seems like a compact way to describe the implication of many "security concerns" tweets I'm reading used to scare people into virtue-signaling and allegiance-signaling with upgrades. The implication of some tweet seems even to be that "security fixes will not be backported" which would be clearly crazy and I'm sure is false"

"Tbf some Core devs successfully DO resolve the paradox: - @murchandamus and others claim filters work well to deter new trends from forming but fail to curb established trends noticeably (nuanced view: no paradox in removing some for future stuff but refusing to fix others ie to stop "inscriptions") - @eric_lombrozo and others claim filters don't work and getting rid of the specific op_return one entirely (as default) was a nothingburger: not really urgent nor important (just as keeping it or fixing others wasn't) - @darosior and (many) others claim filter work (he corrected me explicitly"

"It kinda does: assuming AWA had any interest in mempool policies at all (they don't and they will not: they are utterly useless for censorship purposes unlike block validity rules) it's obvious that regulating default parameters a single reference implementation is way easier than regulating a diversity of individual choices"

"This is a very important point by uncle @r0ckstardev. Bitcoin would likely survive CoreV30 being widely adopted and some nasty attackers eventually encoding illegal stuff into large standard op_returns. Bitcoin would likely survive Knots&al taking over Core and the current main maintainers being "fired" (and the same nasty attackers still eventually encoding illegal stuff into large non-standard op_returns anyway). Bitcoin would likely survive ossifying now and never ever getting a new non-bug-fixing soft fork forcing us to use heavily interactive L2s and leaving midwits sleepless over"

During the Bitcoin years I played with Python and JS a bit studied some C++ tried to learn Rust (failing). For my own aesthetical kinks I checked out over the years different LISP dialects concatenative toy-languages like Om/Joy/Cat consistent OOP languages like Smalltalk/Self/Io cool array languages like APL/J/K. I was trying to check out Elm last year but I didn't have time. I deeply despise the C-like procedural notation"

"We can still make educated guess based on logic and game theory. My guess is that when in doubt they will always tend go after: - block validity over mempool standardness - Core default over external diverse templates - sophisticated devs of big companies over simple-UX-dependent users"

"The intentional use of policy to nudge the network is well documented before Bitcoin Twitter was even a thing: on Github Bitcointak mailing lists IRC chats. I agree that it's incentive-incompatible so there is a rationale to gradually move from that to a new use of policy to just prevent LOCAL DoS and predict blocks"

"If I had the even remote feeling active Core devs were sharing your sentiment about hiding relevant security fixes into a very controversial change that many users (including power users tool developers etc.) will not adopt I'd be scared.

"Agree Core should have listened to your 160b proposal and Knots should calm down and not turn a minor bug into counterproductive "death of Bitcoin" prophecies and irresponsible law-enforcement minefields. Just to clarify: to curb future spam more effectively than with strong widespread default filters you need a soft-fork.but to elide old spam (like with ZK compression) would be technically a hard fork"

"that's a soft-fork. hard-fork or re-org with international mining compelled action Well I answered "no" above but reading better: yes I'm talking of the third case you list here: international mining compelled action about block validity.

"So I spent much of yesterday calmly discussing with @adam3us. His intern was not invited. We will do a longer-form public discussion (also with @JeffBooth) sometimes soon but here's the provisional TLDR (he can correct me if I'm missing or misrepresenting something): 1) We agree that spam exists and is a well-defined issue that it's a particularly nasty issue for Bitcoin as a global-consensus system (which blockspace fees can't really solve or mitigate much) that it should be denounced/fought as much as possible that it obviously includes NFT scams and such. He agrees relativist mental"

"No data snippets to support applications are not inherently spam. You can post them on Twitter Pastbine Github your own site or any site that will gladly accept them. If you post them abusing the message fields in a "French Cousine" forum then yes they will be spam and forum users will react and you will be an asshole for continuing. Obviously. If you want to go decentralized instead of using centralized servers that's cool and fun: you can post them on Torrent Nostr etc. If you want some cooperative availability incentive you can try Freenet or maybe build some new cooler LN-based standard"

"To tell the truth I'm actually ambivalent about this whole "woke devs" thing. On one hand the idea of depending in division-of-labor terms on collectivist monocultures is uncomfortable and the idea of a small David-vs-Goliath-style resistance to that cultural monopoly "taking some territory back" is exciting. So I'm happy to see "based rebel software" growing (even if often "based" people just promote a niche flavor of collectivism which opposes the mainstream flavor). On the other hand there's some intellectual pleasure also in the idea that thanks to the very same division-of-labor magic I"

"in the end that transaction isn't about you or me. No that's often the case on L2 transactions. On L1 all Bitcoin nodes will have to download and store that forever. That's also one of the reason we should move most of the economy on L2s using global consensus (which is terrible for scalability privacy scarce-resource allocation MEV risks censorship risks etc.) only for big settlements. My node doesn't need to try to control how others use Bitcoin. It can't control it but it does influence it: your current Bitcoin node is enforcing both consensus on blocks and policy on 0conf txs (even"

As long as XX% of the hashrate complies it works well enough for temporary censorship.
