Last Notes npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Roy npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum It’s a jihadist regime that killed thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of its own citizens earlier this year. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum There is a US airbase in Abu Dhabi, but the UAE government is explicitly not letting the Americans use it to attack Iran. Nevertheless this is the excuse the IRGC is giving: they say they’re “just” attacking US bases and assets. (If true they would appear to have very bad aim.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum So I’ve been living in Dubai since last summer. Not because I like the city — I don't — but because my girlfriend lived there when we met and she wasn't quite ready to leave yet. Admittedly the tax benefit is nice too. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum https://knotslies.com/ npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum For anyone interested, there’s now a Telegram channel to discuss BIP110 URSF specifics: https://t.me/+svDDMRJtO8UzMzNk npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Bitcoin Core developers have explicitly said users are free to run different software: https://bitcoincore.org/en/2025/06/06/relay-statement/ npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum You didn't address @nprofile…tqyx's point-- instead you just got triggered by the word "censoring". npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Keep digging that hole buddy you're doing great. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum The day Bitcoin Core developers bend to the pressure of a misguided Twitter mob riled up by populist social media influencers, instead of merging code based on their best technical judgement, is the day the codebase should be forked to re-establish sound engineering practices. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Liar. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum What if I think the default is the best option? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum If 90% of the network runs on defaults that is because 90% of users voluntarily decide to do that. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Luke-jr moving through the Bitcoin space. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Yes I agree with your premise. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum I doubt it would represent a significant loss, and in fact I suspect that adopting BIP110 would harm the value of bitcoin more than losing these people would. But without fork futures markets --which I'm very much in favour of!-- it's anyone's guess unless and until there actually is a split. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum No miners are currently signaling support for BIP110, so investing time and effort in developing a URSF client seems like a waste of time and effort at this time (to me, anyways). npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Devs can't do that. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Name one prominent small blocker from the block size war era besides Luke who's now in favour of BIP110? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum I was tagged in an X post by @npub1r8l…x5dk correctly dismantling the false narrative that BIP110 is today largely supported by the small block faction of the block size war era. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum No one “votes” with a node. (And that’s a good thing because if that were the case Bitcoin would be trivially Sybil-attacked!) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Question for the taco plebs: which dev team is more centralized, Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin Knots? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum No one is hard forking. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum So you gonna take on one of these fork futures offers, or just shitpost about things you don’t understand for clout? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum If you always find yourself on the opposite end of expert consensus you don’t have an independent mind— you’re a brainless contrarian. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Wrong. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum I’d been encouraging Bcashers to fork off for probably over a year before they finally did it, because I and many others were tired of hearing their dumb Bitcoin Core/Blockstream conspiracy nonsense. Sounds familiar yet? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum See, the error in your thinking is that you think "hard fork" means "chain split", and "soft fork" means "no chain split". npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum It's not essentially a hard fork-- it's a soft fork. And it doesn't necessarily have to be done by Core. (Nor do I think their reputation is deteriorated in the eyes of serious people.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Little incentive to invest time and effort in creating a URSF client when there’s ~no support for a UASF in the first place. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum There probably won’t be a re-org either because BIP110 never gets a majority of hash power, or because a re-org is simply prevented with a URSF/checkpoint/whatever. (Or both.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum The Knots crowd has become toxic enough that I do in fact hope they fork off. I’ll happily sell my BIP110 coins back to them—assuming there will be enough blocks on this chain for these transactions to confirm—and they can go their Bcash way. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Bitcoin is now trading lower than when “pro-crypto president” (read: shitcoin scammer) Trump was elected. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum I visited “Bitcoin Jungle” (Uvita, CR) a few days this week. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum There is nothing to disagree on, it’s a fact. You’ve been misinformed. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Matthew Kratter (@npub1s33…252p) will talk shit about Bitcoin Core devs and other bitcoiners from behind his monitor reading out pre-written scripts all day long, but he does not even have the balls to come on a podcast and defend his position. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum There is nothing in Bitcoin Core 30 that makes it harder to run nodes. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Nonsense. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum These are the projects pushing this vision forward. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Do you think bitcoin should be used for monetary transactions? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum It does. Rules without rulers. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum FWIW I agree you don’t have to be an anarchist to use Bitcoin. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Yo @npub1s33…252p let’s do this. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Wait a minute… npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Meanwhile, @npub1azr…jl96 says he is committed to finding consensus for his proposal within the technical community. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum In case anyone is wondering, for BIP444 @npub1lh2…a9nk @npub1lh2…a9nk is willing to throw BIP8 soft fork activation overboard in favour of a flag day activation with no miner signaling. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Of course, @npub1lh2…a9nk @npub1lh2…a9nk is worried about fork futures because he knows that will effectively reveal the lack of support for his fork, just like it did for Segwit2X back in 2017. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum How did I not behave like a normal person? (Feel free to share a screenshot of whatever it is you think warranted a ban.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum I'm also banned. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum A new Bitcoin, Explained episode appeared! npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Other than watching a debate or talk when I was bored I ignored all this for a long time because I thought it would just go away. (As you know I was with you in that ordinals are retarded-- but I also didn't see it as some kind of fundamental threat to Bitcoin.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Someone should write a book about Bitcoin's origins. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum We’re probably close enough on 1 & 2 that we don’t need to split hairs :) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum 🙄 npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Actual fork futures (as per @npub1emd…c9aw’s proposal for example) would be much better, but this is nice too: npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum I’m not arguing semantics, it matters. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum 😅 npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Core is Bitcoin's de facto reference implementation to the extent -- and _only_ to the extent -- that users treat it as such. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Besides, if there's more data in OP_RETURNs, there less room for data in Inscriptions; 4x less even. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum There is nothing official in Bitcoin. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum 👏 npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum 1. I tried to earnestly understand and explore @npub1lh2…a9nk @npub1lh2…a9nk and @npub1yxp…399s’s arguments. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Good video by @npub1yp4…kqyk. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum 💯 npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum (I was told to post my questions here.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum #note1y8t…medz npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum The kernel of truth is that these big blockers generally didn't like Segwit either— but what they ultimately really wanted was a block size increase through a hard fork. So that’s what they did. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum This is a lie and @npub1lh2…a9nk @npub1lh2…a9nk knows it. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Not recently. I (used to?) have a technical podcast with @nprofile…6mks called Bitcoin, Explained. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Yes. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum IIUC, @npub1lh2…a9nk @npub1lh2…a9nk @npub1lh2…a9nk is a sedevacantist, which is kind of an off-shoot from the Catholic church that has the pope in the Vatican, which he considers pedos. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum MAP? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Starting to sound very familiar.. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum You’re contradicting yourself. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum >Bitcoin Core was, until recently, the closest thing we had to something “official” npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum I am not. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum There is nothing “official” in Bitcoin. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Presumably. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Censorship resistant transactions in the hardest money ever invented will be in high demand, and will out-price other forms of data storage. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum That one lawyer did not even want to stake his name and reputation to defend his claim. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum A soft fork without consensus does *not* lead to a (lasting) chain split if and when a majority of hash power mines the soft fork chain. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum The risk you allude to always existed (and probably will always exist) because 1) it was always possible to mine a block with illegal content in an OP_RETURN, and 2) illegal content can always be embedded in the blockchain using various other methods (even if your BIP is adopted). npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum "You don't nuke and ant, you don't nuke a mosquito. You don't fight spam with consensus. [...] It's not a game of whack-a-mole where you can realistically fight it with consensus changes." npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Ok, so now you’re inferring why other people may or may not want run nodes, which is a largely unfalsifiable claim— though I would point out that the data we have available suggests that users don’t mind: node count has risen in recent years despite all the Inscriptions nonsense. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum It says at the bottom of the BIP that the original draft came from Luke. (And FWIW, even before I saw that, while reading, it was pretty obvious to me that that was the case.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum (This refers to the reactive scenario.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum One irony of @nprofile…vw43's CASF (CSAM activated soft fork) is that users would have to go and see that there's ndeed CSAM in an OP_RETURN, which AFAIK would actually be illegal. (I know I certainly won't do it.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Depends on the exchange rate between the coins :) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Why would that be the case? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Do we also agree that *for the purpose of node decentralization* it makes no difference whether a block contains 1MB of monetary transaction data or 1MB of OP_RETURN data? npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Having an opinion is a cheap substitute for gaining an understanding. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Yeah I noticed that apparent contradiction as well, but I guess the keyword in the first mention is "lengthy". npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Users and/or miners could also deploy a URSF/MRSF that rejects signaling blocks, forcing the split. (Or maybe just use some kind of invalidate block or check point… though I think that might be a bit more iffy.) npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum So yeah every discussion I’ve had with Knots proponents ultimately leads to one of two conclusions where we just have to agree to disagree. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum OCEAN would presumably mine the Knots chain. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum To be clear… npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum Ok so apparently rolling back the chain in case of a CSAM OP_RETURN is also proposed as an activation mechanism for this “anti-spam” soft fork drafted by @npub1lh2…a9nk @npub1lh2…a9nk. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum So if CSAM ends up in an OP_RETURN (of any size) that gets mined into a block, @npub1lh2…a9nk @npub1lh2…a9nk will reject that block and encourage others to do so as well; basically a UASF, even when that would effectively mean rolling back the chain. npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5 Aaron van Wirdum What you're describing is a centralizing effect. (Less stale blocks and/or more fees for larger miners versus smaller ones.)
