Last Notes npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic if they tried another 110, i would run it becuase it’s better specs npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs9hmkdxk7d97fees65q23zc24h7l833wl7wg3t9w698xzxa6nvapgurqq8u npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic the principles of bitcoin’s security remain npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic if nodes don’t control the network, then how does the network remain decentralized? npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic For anyone in opposition or on the fence about 110, if you cannot point to how 110’s tighter limits inhibit your use of the network, then perhaps you don’t have a principled reason to oppose it. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic Regarding BIP110: npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic yeah, most definately npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic baffles the mind the things that must be said today npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic Why would anyone want a non-110 block? npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic was looking again, 110 does cap UTXOs to 34 bytes, so spamming UTXO would still be marginally more expensive than it is currently, but again, it’s still not the cheapest way to get the data onchain and people wanting to put their spam/scam in a UTXO have some other incentive superseding the pure “economic” cost of the transaction npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic will have to wait and see npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic sorry i wasn’t clear on the point about “would "immediately URSF"” npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic yeah, it’s really milquetoast npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic yeah, if 110 broke something monetary, you could say it, point at at, but it doesn’t. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic that boring it puts you to sleep 😂

the people who don't like conflict and the BIP110 war, just know it is necessary. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic From my view and participation in BIP110 dialog, it seems like all the tension is related to people processing the seeming paradox of a dynamic relation producing immutabley stable effects npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic #bitcoin ‘s consensus is an expression of collective self-interest. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic Hunter Beast is making the technical argument that there are extremely sophisticated attack vulnerabilities which enforcing

day, you are a rational creature. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic hmmm. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic “we should ask what the physics of Bitcoin requires” npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic I’m a bitcoiner, i’ll remain on the longest chain with the most energy whether it’s what I think is best or not. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic yes, break the chains npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic people choosing what software to run, miners choosing what chain to mine on npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic i also love the “low IQ” as an insult. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic the “fork now” idea betrays the posture of superiority. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic “bullying” has a negative connotation i don’t think is accurate to reality.

hylomorphic the incoherence of core advocacy comes from the fact that what carries their thought doesn’t appear in what they think. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic most people talk that way, but when it comes up natural u don’t notice. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic sats left the wallet, but not showing in

you are still limiting what I can put in my transaction. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic but they didn’t remove the limit, they moved the limit to 100k. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic when ur saving and spending in bitcoin, you are still creating things in the world, creating value for others, anchored in, tethered to reality. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic We haven’t had a Y2K like panic yet, so it has to be prior to 2000.

hylomorphic Ironically, both sides of the v30 vs BIP110 debate use the same principle to establish a limit. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic “paying for the bits” npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic “This the distinction between monetary vs non-monetary is fiat.”

npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic absolutely. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic It’s easy to fall into focusing on “similarities.” npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic “shouldn’t” is a category error. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic

politics makes sense once you realize the purpose of “political squabbling” is to distract people and obfuscate what the monetary system is doing. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic welp, spaceboi is literally retarded. npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic privacy, like freedom, is a means not and end in itself npub18zsu6xlfpwdgnrfyzhwpq80ssu83tdew5g7dkzkl4tavsrgzl5yslzlyv6 hylomorphic as a neutral party, the better team won tonight 🤣
