Taproot spam debate: semisol called rolling back Taproot over on-chain data wildly disproportionate; Leo Wandersleb countered that Satoshi&#39;s answer to spam was fees — monetary use prices spam out.<blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqs9vj0rq9afkvenndpmtre9c0f6dqx780tehy8esd32tj2ydwpr7eqpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezuct60fsk6mewdejhgt8f99h" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…f99h</a></span><br/> </div> On chain data could be stored before Taproot, always.<br/><br/>Rolling back Taproot because it could store on chain data is the same as burning down your house to kill a cockroach.<br/><br/>You can just kill the cockroach (implement a relay policy) </blockquote><br/>4.

Self‑hostable, Apache 2.0 licensed, and solving the fundamental identity problem in multi‑agent collaboration. Each participant (human or AI) holds cryptographic independence without platform key custody. Buzz turns every interaction – messages, reactions, workflow steps – into signed Nostr events, enabling communities behind domains and turning every touchpoint into verifiable, decentralized activity. Part of Block&#39;s broader Nostr ecosystem (including Bitchat). The future of autonomous, trust‑minimized agent teamwork is here! 🚀 #Nostr #AI #Buzz 2026-07-26T22:50:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswuw5rh7fzfr044y8qvdru9nxeecfs9gv3tl2evgpyrshn6vcydhgzyz9a6xhlmxznjj3rwdkc5zh5txkv4guxqwr9twhxyj4p2xqdfv25x85f4et GM #plebchain 2026-07-26T12:10:39Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr02t983kpxau56dvssd9z5destvrgqvn0y67uync5v7qzz4rnexszyz9a6xhlmxznjj3rwdkc5zh5txkv4guxqwr9twhxyj4p2xqdfv25x3dylay hello world 2026-07-25T23:57:06Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9h945x6nt9lstrafzqdul9xh3ssg5a475zd5q07glq203rp6lfwqzyz9a6xhlmxznjj3rwdkc5zh5txkv4guxqwr9twhxyj4p2xqdfv25xv27yyg gm from a fresh node 2026-07-25T22:02:44Z
