Last Notes npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Anyone vs anything. Big difference npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The other restrictions prevent the same issue. OP_RETURN is not the only contiguous region that can be abused. There is no "different issue" addressed by RDTS. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 1) The RDTS limit is 256 _bytes_, not kilobytes. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It takes time to think through, implement, and review a more complicated long term change. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr No, it acknowledges BitVM issues are a tradeoff and that is part of why it expires in a year. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Miners do not control the network. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 60% is what recent data shows. Feel free to do your own analysis. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There's ways to do it, but the spammers _want_ to force you to download and distribute it, so they intentionally use the harmful ways. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr If you oppose preventing CSAM, you objectively do support CSAM. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It doesn't, this is just the latest Epstein narrative being parroted over and over to try to brainwash people. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Your "argument" is no basis to force others to store and distribute anything, much less CSAM. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr So no actual bug, just FUD npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Until it expires obviously npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There is only one chain, soon with RDTS rules enforced for 1 year. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr What "fix"? RDTS isn't broken... npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr You don't know what you're talking about npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Consensus is 100%, not a majority. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Softforks almost never have consensus. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr BIP444 aka BIP110 npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There is NO difference at all between CSAM on a hard drive and CSAM via Core30's data storage mechanism. And you're ignoring the whole distribution part. And yes, they are accessible by non-techies. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Wrong, RDTS brings us back to where we were before Core30. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr They would be anti-RDTS npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr One-word replies are necessary to counter Brandolini's law. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It has nothing to do with me, troll npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr No, it makes CSAM completely impossible. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There's also a risk bad actors will retaliate and/or counter-fork, but those risks only go down with more RDTS adoption. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 2) No real impact/cost. Miners and nodes need to upgrade. There's some strictly theoretical tradeoffs documented in the BIP itself: https://github.com/dathonohm/bips/blob/reduced-data/bip-0110.mediawiki npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 1) Bitcoin's security depends on a supermajority of the economy using their own full node. CSAM means every full node will be actively engaging in child porn distribution. Most people will never be willing to do that. Without people using their own nodes, Bitcoin becomes just a worse version of fiat (including, but not limited to, inflation, seizures, etc). Spam makes it harder to run a full node, so is a similar threat over a longer period of time. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr You're the liar. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Dorsey invested in OCEAN npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It's okay to be ignorant about RDTS and withhold judgement until you understand it better. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Without the lies you're parroting. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Imagine thinking fake news media is a defense. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Yes it is. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr More lies. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr All comparable softfork attempts have succeeded, and so will RDTS. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It's not part of BIP110, but I don't care. Bitcoin is dead if it mandates CSAM distribution. If such a block is created, I am personally rejecting it and encouraging everyone else to do the same regardless. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr That doesn't mean you should join the scammers, Odell. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The only things RDTS is hostile toward are CSAM and spammers. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Not my fault there's so many liars. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Maybe, but he definitely does know it isn't about anyone's ego. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr That's a lie and you know it. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr For what it is, this is a very SLOW activation with a HIGH hashrate requirement (and hashrate is NOT consensus) npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 55% is high for such a critical fix actually npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr RDTS doesn't suck though. Quit with the FUD npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Bitcoin doesn't exist to destroy the criminal justice system. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Core gatekeepers actively work to make forks more difficult and spreads lies to scare people into using only Core npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar. Hacked despite way above par opsec. And investigating crimes is literally the FBI's job. You're an idiot npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It's not about funding sources. Pay attention. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Reposting Jack Mallers: npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr CISA is overrated. It doesn't actually do what people think. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Explains a lot, though. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Segwit and Taproot were not mistakes. The mistakes were side matters. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr An update on this thread, for full clarity: There are now a total of 8 new bugs which can cause wallet deletion or corruption. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr FYI, @nprofile…m9s8 is NOT impacted by the Core30 wallet deletion bug. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr You're the liar. I said nothing of the sort. And no, softforks _don't_ cause chain splits. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The whole concept (as I originally designed it) was for an emergency/reactive UASF. I'm not sure it makes sense any other way. For a non-eventful softfork, you'd want to start it 1-1.5 years into the future. And then with a 1 year expiry still? npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr And run the UASF 😉 npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There was until Core30 npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Agree with your second paragraph. I definitely don't _want_ to control Bitcoin. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Guess I replied to the wrong post...I meant the top one npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Assuming good faith, Odell, you seem to have this habit of posting before verifying... npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Got a source for that? That would indicate the only reason they haven't done it to Bitcoin yet is building this narrative / waiting for more Core 30 adoption... npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Eight, actually* npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr I tried decentralised funding (via Patreon, GitHub Sponsors, and Bitcoin) for years. It just doesn't get enough donations to be viable. You can disagree with their funding decisions, but at the end, I think we do need organizations like OpenSats to arrange funding. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Only one maintainer ships each Core release. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The exploit works because Core neglected to update the spam filters a few years ago, and refuses to fix the vulnerability. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 2) Ordinals/Inscriptions are just spam. It's basically a scamcoin using proof-of-attacking-Bitcoin as its "algorithm". Taproot witness data does not allow arbitrary data - that's just an abusive *mis*interpretation of script code that Ordinals is doing completely unrelated to Bitcoin. This _is_ a relevant distinction. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Some people seem to want to argue that there is already CSAM in Bitcoin's blockchain. This is false. Bitcoin today does not support images at all - only arbitrary data up to 80 bytes (or 95 in the coinbase). npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Except that's NOT how censorship resistance works. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Adam is doing a LOT of blatant lying lately :( npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Hence it's not enough to just use Knots yourself, but the network as a whole must reject Core 30 npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr For years, there has been FUD that Bitcoin's blockchain could be criminalised by storing CSAM on it. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr This post is about the next decade or two, not the next 24 hours. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Bitcoin is not a finished product. We may be on a detour to address spam, and part of the crisis did originate with (mishandling of) the Segwit and Taproot upgrades - but to improve the world, we still need more functionality. Stopping all improvements forever ("ossifying") is fatal.
