"Yes that's what I'm saying. Otherwise we are quite fucked: we can't really expect to socially coordinate a soft fork every time a government attacks with hash rate shitcoin-style and at the same time keep the system decentralized. It's like imagining to socially coordinate a soft fork every time spammers come up with a new spam technique (which is what most bip110 proponents seem to imagine). https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021139221939961905 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021139221939961905"

"You are very wrong about your expectations about what normal people would consider "sanctioned" over just steganography. Most people accepted or would accept that any system like Bitcoin would imply the possibility of downloading bits involved with the latter when syncing and would need much more than what happened in v30 to be concerned with the former. You are projecting a distinction which is only relevant for you (and maybe a dozen of people like you). And you are using the random zero-cost signaling by a couple hundreds or disenfranchised users who are repeating without any understanding"

"Not much it seems tbh. Try starting from here and ignore pages with clear updates past 2014: The New York Mag and the Vanity fair articles cast an aura of "mistery".

"I really do think indeed that *steganographically" adding objectionable data to Bitcoin is literally the same as using other people's computers as basic file storage where anyone can just run "give me data from block X from byte Y to byte Z" if the "steganography" in question is just limited to requiring you to add "and also skip bytes from K to J" to the same terminal command. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019786753893126507 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019786753893126507"

"Don't reuse variable names during the same thread X and Y were byte references already :D Both are literally file storage instances.

"I'm in favor of cultural actions to mitigate which by definition don't include code change at all otherwise I'd not call them "cultural". I would have been in favor of maintaining a restrictive policy in Core and even to consistently update it to new spam schemes. I'm still in favor of maintaining it in Knots or in custom Core configs although it doesn't do much in practice since default matter and since this BIP110 campaign totally stopped any Knots adoption growth.

"I feel like this is a good time to come clean and confess *all* the truth about my personal relationship with Epstein. It's easy to imagine I've never actually met the man in person due to the obvious circumstances of our respective lives. But I have to confess that I often fantasized about meeting him. I would certainty accept to meet him if he was still alive and I would probably even enjoy some of it. I have read a lot about him and from him. Hell: I think I may have even read all of his published letters possibly. And he was writing a lot to a lot of famous and influential people. I can't"

A block size reduction or a consensus limit to op_return would be part of the nice things I'd support building consensus for (but not splitting the network with unilateral enforcement attempts for).

"BIP110 is not even mentioned in the diagram. It would sit somewhere between CSAM and spam FUDs (its proponents inconsistently oscillate between the two). But it's generally true that Epstein and quantum have nothing to do with BIP110. The diagram where BIP110 is not even considered let alone mentioned is about those. The joke is that: - people FUDing Bitcoin because "Epstein created or compromised it" and because "Quantum computers breaking it are imminent" both discuss alleged "Satoshi's coins"; - the former and people claiming spam will kill Bitcoin both tend to bring up "CSAM"-related"

"Social heuristic dominate in most low-risk scenarios. If the guy was introduced to me by MIT partners I already trusted I wouldn't even make the effort to memorize the name let alone google it (assuming there was much on him on Google before the second arrest). When I was in Taiwan last year I was shown around by (very sweet) people who's name I couldn't even pronounce.

"@OrangePillJam @maxkeiser @saifedean It sounds a bit rhetorical and corny but."capitalism is a spectrum" ahahah. The fact we never had nor can ever have a perfect one shouldn't discourage from fighting to approximate it. I agree it definitely correlates with sound money"

"The fact we never had nor can ever have a spam-free monetary network shouldn't discourage us from fighting to approximate it. Agreed. BIP110 doesn't do that it just forks you off the main chain and then goes back to status quo assuming the resulting shitcoin has enough hashrate to survive until difficulty adjusts. You have explained why to @hodlonaut in private but plebs are left in the total dark. There's almost nothing I've told him which I've not extensively explained in public several times already. And the few private pits were totally unrelated and inconsequential. This whole thing is"

"@rad_nomad False: - V30 wasn't an hard fork so going back from it can't logically require a soft fork - BIP110 invalidates things that were valid in V29 too - BIP110 is politically harder to successfully activate than an actual reversal from V30 to V29 by node runners would be"

"The latter is an unrealistic explanation for lack of conviction. People who are convinced about the outcome but who can't personally change it can multiply those funds to be used later to help Bitcoin. Like it happene with B2X. The trust issue is more convincing even if it didn't stop market expression with B2X and any actor could act as oracle in theory not necessarily just shitcoin-friendly exchanges. There may be the issue that soft forks are messier to split"

"For most of this time span was only in OPRETURN. The most prevalent and worrysome initially was actually satoshidice tx. Consensus can't change often to chase arbitrary encoding schemes.
