I think we need decentralization of the node development. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt It's open ended. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I feel that. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Default settings are powerful, no doubt. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt 🫡 npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Hey, that's cool!

That's a ludicrous definition. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt The blending of categories is the foundation of exploitation. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Bip110 is derided unjustly. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Good luck. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt The brain is a JIT (Just In Time) Compiler. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt At 4% forever: supply 2x in ~18y, 4x in ~35y, ~50x in a century. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Agreed, but that's not what I was refuting. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I'm not sure what the relevance of that is. The downloading of arbitrary data in _plaintext_ is the problem, not the block size. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Samson is not as well reasoned as he thinks. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Nodes need to back themselves with hashrate to be taken more seriously. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Bip110 doesn't claim to stop all spam.

Jaw dropping. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt 99% of the people who ask “what about the roads”, don’t even know how the roads are done under statism. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Your argument is fine, but contains absolutely no justification for why the default needs to be unanimously changed, or why the configuration needs to be deprecated for removal. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Society has encoded valuable ideas that we should conserve, yet some ideas are wrong or incomplete and should be progressed. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Unfair to Saylor. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt “Open Source Developer” is not a virtue, and doesn’t make for a Saint. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Father as of 7 days ago👨🍼 npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt It’s hard to escape JavaScript.
