There is no The Bitcoin.
Every Bitcoin user, runs an instance of their Bitcoin.
That the whole point of Bitcoin, decentralization.
It's not distributed.
It's not a democracy.
It's decentralization.
For that to work running a node, being an actual Bitcoin user should be easier over time, it should become the norm.

Bitcoin is about cutting the power line of the parasites.
Changing your mindset.
It's not letting parasites wrap the Bitcoin, and let you use it only their wrapper.

2026-07-17 20:17:53 UTC

If you are running a Bitcoin Client
(im not gonna call it a node, because you are the node)
Then you might have noticed the slowdown after 2021.
You do realize we can't sustain that slowdown right?
We have to get rid of it.
It's a roadblock for true Bitcoin adoption.

2026-07-17 20:17:34 UTC

Are you a Bitcoin user?
"Yes i use Bitcoin."
What impl do you use?
"I don't run a node."
Then how are you a Bitcoin user?
You don't verify.
You don't interact with the network.
You might as well just use PayPal.
Everything what makes Bitcoin Bitcoin is out of the window.

my only problem is witness discount.
which should have been temporary in a hard coded way.
also taproot should have been more strict. it was suppose to reduce data on chain originally.

2026-07-17 12:53:57 UTC

if we didnt have segwit discount
timechain would have been only ~500GB rn.
instead its ~750GB (excluding the indexes and stuff that makes the chain data actually useful).
you wouldnt need a 2TB drive.
you would need less bandwidth as well.
less processing power too.
after taproot and spam, processing power requirements went even higher.
its funny how we are keep damaging the thing we should maximize and optimize for, which is making running a node easier.
bitcoin is the NODE you have. bitcoin doesnt live on the sky, you alone run all of bitcoin yourself. all of the ideas of bitcoin being decentralized are based on every user being a node.
if you are not using your own node you are not using bitcoin. you dont have to know how your node works, or be a nerd to run a node. bitcoin user by definition is a node. but its too complex, too user unfriendly. its almost like they dont want you to run your own instance of bitcoin.

how is that giving control over to "luke",
versions of nodes just exists, you choose to run it.
nobody is voting luke to be the maintainer of bitcoin.
if people like his client they run it.
if they like the upgrade they run it as well.
its a simple change, that reduces unnecessary data in some fields.
and removes unnecessary op codes from tapscript. its not rocket science.
a few lines of change, you can fit all of the changes in a single screen.
and its temporary, so if it breaks something we dont want it to break we can change it later, we dont have to hard fork of it back.

once again, democracy is not decentralization.
just because there are "more devs" on core doesn't mean its decentralized, its the most centralized implementation of bitcoin. its not like you get more options from devs at core. there is still one core software. its an entity. that's not decentralization.
decentralization is you deciding what rules to enforce for your own copy of the timechain. and what to relay to others. its your property, its free speech. its free market. that's what bitcoin is and what makes it decentralized.
looking at an institution/organization like bitcoin core, and calling it decentralized is absurd. its the most centralized point of failure for bitcoin. one software.

they turned node running into a niche nerd thing to do.
but each bitcoin user suppose to be a node runner, each node supposed to be a bitcoin user.
but they are still designing node software for servers.
bip110 is the first softfork that does something good for the node runners.
this all becomes controversial because of the lack of node runners, if we had each bitcoin user running full node for everything bitcoin. then we would have easier time doing softforks that makes node running easier.
the ideal state of node running would be, everyone having one on their phone.

like everytime i go like, omg finally someone did this this way. then it gets popular, and they suddenly forget what made them different. project turns to shit.
that's why i hate organizations, people in charge changes, and then the projects does 180. that's why i like it when only a single person is in charge deciding what should get in or not. this way at least, the project doesn't lose its identity because people in charge changes. you get what you signed up for.

i now hate bitcoin finance and trader people.
"OH I INVEST IT BITCOIN, MAKING PROFITS"
all they talk is price, investing.
they didn't change their world view, they didn't change what is money for them. their brain still works in the initial fiat wiring. they didn't spend time to rewire it to understand, bitcoin values, traditions, culture, history.
most of them just hold paper bitcoins. its no different than another investment product for them.
they don't run a node. they don't have an itch to spend their money in bitcoin. they are not excited about the revolution. they are excited about dollar number going up. if they build around bitcoin its to profit from it, not help it.
idk.
and worse when people hear you are holding bitcoin, they think about you in that light, like you are doing crypto, and talking about price all day. and gains.
they are fake bitcoiners. they just have paper bitcoin. they are not bitcoiners.
bitcoiners practice bitcoinism in their everyday life, in every opportunity.

you dont seem to understand my point.
you are still thinking about a decentralized network where one "bad guy" does something out of the ordinary.
thats not about that, thats about how much you can resist "official" change. the decentralization aspect.
i already mentioned your point here:
> only way you can reject it meaningfully is you are online at that time, and see the invalid (for you) tx. and out right deny the utxo set.
you make most pow the valid chain (pre-pruned), as long as miners wants a change, that change happens.
once it happens no fresh node even with an older version rejects that chain. you just ride along.
again `utxo_commitment⁠` doesnt prove the specific script was following your ruleset. it only proves utxo set was valid, and seen as valid and has been built on top of it in the past by others. not you. call it what its, which is trusting the collective, social consensus with pow.
you can accept trade offs and say, "yeah i think kaspa does enough" but you dont do that. you insist that utxo_commitment⁠ and pow means verification of past txs some how.
you even admit 51% attack could create invalid utxo for your ruleset. thats the definition of utxo_commitment⁠ cant verify tx was following your ruleset back then. it means there is consensus and work done to accept that history no matter it fits into your rules or not. that's compliance not verification.
another example if you do a temporary hard fork that get deactivated a while later, even the freshly running old version nodes follows the hard fork chain after it deactivates.
its a really simple question:
Q: Do you know every TX before you is following YOUR RULES
A: No
but you keep arguing that "no i can verify", that's just wrong, you can only trust network in large says its good.
you didnt even answered bandwidth point, even if you are are pruning you still download. and with the goal of 100bps that looks even worse. do you think someone's laptop sync with every tx ever worldwide without hogging some stuff?
you also didnt answer periodic "smooth" hardfork activations kaspa has. thats not decentralization, thats a realase schedule of dev team. everybody complies to updates. node impls auto update.
you can't know if history was valid, you just know history has big support.
when i first asked "do you run kaspa" and you said "yes", you were wrong. you dont run kaspa. you listen to the kaspa network. illusion of a node running. if you were running it you would run it from the genesis. yes you can reject blocks as long as you are live. but unlike a bitcoin node you just accept what came before you. you TRUST others before you acted the way you hopped they would act.

proof of consensus != proof of enforcement
also maybe you cant understand it but "L1 should be slow" isn't dogma. it's the cost of letting anyone verify without permission. you can disagree with the tradeoff, but you didn't solve anything. everything works the same its 1+1=2 its the reality of the universe. you love using words like "thermodynamic" so much, its not so hard to understand. its not a bitcoin thing, its any system ever.
you started a new kaspa node fresh:
- downloads the pruning point proof (just headers, not full blocks)
- checks PoW on those headers (only for ordering/consensus, not verifying the txs inside them)
- checks ghostdag structure + blue work (only picks the heaviest proof, says nothing about tx validity)
- downloads the UTXO set from an untrusted peer (the list of who owns what, streamed to you in chunks)
- hashes that set with muhash, compares it to the `utxo_commitment` field in the header (only confirms the set matches a number a miner wrote into the header)
- validates txs in the pruning point block only (that single block, against the set it was just handed)
- everything before the pruning point: never executed (no scripts run, no signatures checked, data never even downloaded)
what verifies what:
- PoW: energy was spent on the headers
- ghostdag/blue work: this proof is heavier than competing ones
- muhash check: the set you received matches a number in the header
- nothing: that the number was produced by valid txs following the rules
the `utxo_commitment` is just a value in a header. the node confirms "the set i got matches this value." it never confirms "this value came from valid execution." consistency, not correctness.
proof of consensus, not proof of enforcement.
nodes will rejectrt `utxo_commitment` if:
- a utxo set that doesnt hash to the value in the header, meaning someone hands you a snapshot thats been tampered with after the fact. the hashes won't match. rejected
- the only thing that breaks the check is a mismatch between the bytes you received and the committed hash. basically checksum.
- only way you can reject it meaningfully is you are online at that time, and see the invalid (for you) tx. and out right deny the utxo set.
`utxo_commitment` doesnt enforce that the transactions which produced that utxo set were valid. its generated by the miner who mined that block. if devs pushes an update and miners mine based on it during a period. and days pass. you have no idea if it fits your ruleset or not. you just accept it because its the most pow.
a fresh node goes:
does my downloaded set match this hash? Yes. Accepted.
it has no way to know the set contains coins that should never have existed.
the `utxo_commitment` proves the set matches what was committed.
it does not prove what was committed was legitimate by your rules.
it catches tampering with the snapshot, not "fraud" or period of rule change baked into the history, deep enough.
its trusting the work, not verification. and assuming the bandwidth a kaspa node spends, you cant have a lot of nodes that you cant easily find one that is telling you to double check that older block. if you can find a copy of the said block of course. assuming only few big cloud runners will be running a full node soon.

"Trust the 'Science'. Even thought I don't get it fully. Because it sounds sciency~"
"Just trying to prove myself right any means necessary, mentioning things that doesn't even exist in Kaspa"
You just hear some stuff that you dont fully understand and, go "oh so thats why" *clueless*.
THE mAth doesnt "prove" what you think it proves... Or you dont know what is suppose to be proving.
you think you have some cool new solution while mentioning 40 years old papers.
kaspa literally doesn't use zero knowledge proofs.
it uses muhash commitments and sampled headers. which is a hash of a set. it commits to what the set is, not to how the set was derived.
even if it did, zk proofs require a prover. someone generates the proof.
bitcoin doesn't need a prover. i am the prover. i run the computation myself from genesis.
you invoked zk proofs to sound technical. but kaspa doesn't even have them. and even if it did, it wouldn't solve the "valid by whose rules" problem. it would just move the trust to whoever generated the proof.
you don't even know what the scripts are.... as a newcomer node.

kaspa is just the other side of the bcash coin. "fuck verifying txs, we will just have lots of txs"
honestly im tried of all "lets make L1 fast" "solutions". L1 suppose to be slow and small.
stop trying to walk around it.

also no. you cant assume tx fits to your rules because of a "proof".
that would be the best compression ever created.
you are losing information.
its impossible.
as i said in the beginning "delusion of a solution"

you are still thinking about someone breaking rules. not rule changes.

there is no way you can know if someone rejected something in isolation at some point.
the commitment proves the utxo set is consistent with the history that was accepted. it doesn't prove that history was valid by your rules.
those are different things.
you still cant verify what script ran, how.
the commitment proves "this utxo set is the result of this history"
it does not prove "this history followed the rules you would have enforced"
"this utxo is valid", valid by whose rules?

> that block would be rejected by every node online at that moment.
you are saying it yourself here "at that moment".
what rejecting a change proposed by the kaspa devs looks like? what happens if miners support the change but you don't.
also nothing blindly trusts PoW.
but with default kaspa node if software rules changed at some point for a while you would have no idea because you dont replay those txs. you just trust what the network tells you the utxo is.
if a chain has 2x of pow of your current chain in bitcoin, but has a single tx that doesn't fit into your ruleset, you wouldn't pick that chain.
but with kaspa you have no idea that happened. you either have to always online to catch it, or run and verify every tx from the genesis.
you can only prove everyone on the network agreed that valid utxo set looked like "this" at some point.
no matter how many tricks, ideas you have not to verify txs one by one for real. none is actual verification of the tx.
that's trust, not verification.
you cannot meaningfully prove anything about the past.

you get the utxo from from the snapshot.
you dont verify anything to that point.
you trust pow. that's almsot exactly like spv behavior.
if a bitcoin node sees an invalid tx they blacklist that block hash because the whole block is invalid.
you can't build on invalid tx. is that so hard to understand?
you can't just download a utxo set and call it verified just because it was timestamped in the DAG/chain.
you dont even know if the chain you are on is valid.
you just pick what ever has the most pow.
because you can't verify a tx from one week ago.
you trust the utxoset your are given.
be honest with yourself.
you are claiming things that are not real. be real.
