What I can see happening in the future: Quantum threat pushed, Satoshi and other coins frozen. Then we will see a few million coins are in fact permanently lost, then a proposal to print more coins to make up for the lost coins will be proposed, also to pay miners. They will say that it will be just until it makes up for the lost coins, then they will try to make it a forever feat.

what bip110 showed it's that we need to decentralized the economic power by creating circular economies, and we need to decentralize mining, plebs must start owning the majority of the hashrate. Currently the plebs probably loose on both ends, hashrate are suits majority and economic power(nodes) the same, this isn't about 110, it's that any SF that we don't want or even an HF we might not win.

They could do more than that, if the user reached them and prove that he is the legit owner, the owner could give the tx ID that they were planning on broadcasting and miners would include just that or just send the tx to the miners out of band.

Keep in mind that just because you are a maxi who self custodies, and consumes all the btc content, doesn't automatically makes you an expert about securing your family and friends btc, you are just passing information that you learned from the community, if even btc OGs and coders got blindsided by this, how can you assure your family and friend that your setup for them is solid? Just be transparent about what you know, the options, the pros and cons of self custody and let people choose their path. Not everyone is revolution material.

2026-08-02 01:42:33 UTC

Bitcoiners now texting their normie friend that they got into Bitcoin and self custody to help the revolution, that they need to buy casino grade dices write 0 and 1s in a completely airgapped device with immutable Linux distro to calculate the seed words, add a passphrase, do this 3 times for a multisig back all up and distribute them geographically, if the normie complains tell him that if he could manage to learn to drive he got this, if along the way somehow he lost the coins at least he died on the hill we wanted it was like a true bitcoiners and it was for the greater good.

2026-08-02 00:47:24 UTC

Since anyone can do the same hack, people could try to hack before the bad guys to keep the funds safe and return them to the owners.

I agree, but I won't force people to self custody just because I think it's the best option, it has to be their decision and if they are comfortable, it's not my money, also, bitcoin can't be used as money if people loose it all, the space is still very young and just waiting for better solutions to come up can be ok.

2026-08-01 16:18:11 UTC

I stopped advising people to self custody, it's a lot of responsibility, if something happens to their funds its on you, what i do is just explain the options and tradeoffs. Self custody is hard, don't try to fool people, for most people having the coins on an exchange is still the best option.

Miners could help here. If they take out of band tx for spam they could take the owner tx out of band and reject the attacker tx.

2026-07-19 15:59:16 UTC

Miners can always have out of band services, Ocean could have a service where you would send your tx to them alone for only them to get your tx fee. BTW right now you can pay out of band in LN or fiat to some big pools to accelerate your txs, doesn't that break fee estimates? doesn't that benefits big pools? Stop falling for gaslighting.

2026-07-19 15:43:31 UTC

Do not try and predict the next block; that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth… there is no single policy/node implementation. Then you'll see that it is not the block that wasn't how it should be according to prediction; it is only yourself.

witness data is cheaper than op_return.

2026-07-19 15:10:50 UTC

how do you predict what will be in the next block if the network has multiple node implementations and miners also put in a block what they see fit according to their own views like ocean?

2026-07-18 13:44:02 UTC

Bitcoin needs to have more node implementations, Core has a way too big market share, same for mining, its centralized. Right now core can put a SF, and 3 or 4 pools just activate it because they mostly don't care what SFs do, if Core looses the biggest market share, miners have to actively pick a node implementation. 1-Decentralize node implementations, 2-Decentralize mining. 3-Reject SFs, with each SF the attack surface only increases. Bitcoin doesn't need new toys, it needs stability and merchant/real world adoption, adoption is not failing because of lack of features, merchants and normies don't care about Defi or NFTS, Bitcoin already has what it needs to be used as money. We don't need distractions with Defi features, Bitcoin needs to stop, and people must focus on the ground work.

They can pay high fees, just not for an extended ammount of time, because the payment would be higher than the ROI over time, in fact inscriptions died of a lot since their peak. what we can't say is fees handle it and they say making them pay more does nothing, either fees handles it or they don't. The problem is the incentives, segwit gave data a 75% discount, taproot gave 4MB data, and now more data space in a block with op_return. I'm not saying bip110 is the solution to all evils, but we need to change the incentives and make data more expensive than it is now.

2026-07-11 01:03:31 UTC

- reply

There is no solution to spam other than small blocks and fee market - small blocks and fee market are hinting at higher cost to the spammers, and we'll everyone, forcing encoding in pubkey forces just that, the difference is that it punishes only spammers, not valid txs. Spammers right now have a discount, so in a fee market they still pay with a discount VS normal txs. So when ppl say fees are for spam, well, they have a discount, and forcing to use pubkeys increases their costs.

we are here. There is no "correct" feed, clients will have differences in feeds, and can probably miss to fetch some notes, some clients are better than others on that regard but Nostr is a bit harder to get all the data and knowing you really got all the data. Pubky is model actually better in this regard imo.

nah. Current knots percentage represents well the ammount of people clearly against Core actions, many didn't agree but just didn't upgrade. knots reaching about 20% of the nodes is already huge. Even without 110 I think it would still be in this plateau. But over time Core will loose more market share.

the closest thing that exists now on Nostr is for clients to propagate the event that tells the network the relays you are using, and there are some relays that are specific just for those kinds of events like purplepage.es or something like that.

I really don't care but people outraged about onchain zaps because of privacy, because of the link of your identity to your balance, well your identity alone on Nostr will already by itself tell a lot, who you follow, memes you like, posts you like, re-tweet etc, are public, if not carefull apps and relays can also get your IP, so before they track your sats, they probably will get you for the memes, and your "extremist" views.
