Stop bitching about custody when talking about zapping a few sats at a time. Learn about tradeoffs, iron triangles and what it means to adult and how to coach and transfer beliefs.
Sure, run your own node, be my guest, the more the merrier. But when introducing people to nostr and bitcoin, save the maxie speeches for after the purple and orange pills have had time to go down the gullet. The prostylite will show promise by beginning his accumulation, only then can you appear to them as the master.

Following on The Nostr does not need to be public. Right now, you can create private lists, which means nobody can see your special private feed.
BUT... It could be that your published "following list" contains encrypted data where only those you follow can see that you follow them by encrypting a "follow status" only they can decrypt. I'm not suggesting this change, only making an observation.

Remove OP_RETURN altogether? What is your definition of STANDARDNESS? To remove a default? If there is "no standard" than what is the default you propose? To refuse to run unless someone intentionally configures the parameter? All that could do is establish to a de-facto standard size.
It does nothing to address using outputs to hold data, which makes the utxo set demands ever worse. The OP_RETURN is almost a necessary feature to hash-stamp an out-of-band proof to a transaction. Yes, BIP110 is insufficient to stop spam, but it will implement resistance, and knots-style filters will add more resistance.
The only remaining alternative is to move to ZK proofs and/or encrypted UTXO destination addresses, not for privacy, but to eliminate the possibility of clear-text transactions and to provide liability protection through plausible deniability to node operators.

You're arguing two separate issues. 1) open up OP_RETURN and let the fer market decide rather than let the nodes filter transactions, and 2) the vbyte discount distorts the market price. I am not addressing issue (2) because it's irrelevant to issue (1). Changing (2) does not fix (1). You're essentially parroting a variant of core's position that spam should be handled by the market price of blockchain space. That's like saying "let the bandwidth of your email server limit the amount of spam that can get into your inbox, and all you need to do is increase the amount of good emails to crowd out the bad emails.

You are claiming ownership over my property due to my running a node. That is not ancap, that is not pragmatist. For me to have a right to deny you access to my property is a prerequisite of property itself. To insist I am committing violence by denying you access to the use if my property is arguing in bad faith. To invoke the Landauer principle against BIP110 is to use jargon you do not understand.
Either you are in cognitive dissonance, drunk or acting in bad faith. You pick.

The topic shifts on nostr from week to week in my experience. I rarely see nostr talk other than software devs talking about what they are doing. My feed is bitcoin heavy, but only about 20%. The other 80% is anarchism, sovereign living, personal commentary, philosophy/metaphysics, politics and general news. It pretty much keeps my funnel full. If you're trying to follow "important people"/normie-intellectuals, you're on nostr way too early for that, though we will take all we can get to build the network effect.

Fee markets are driven my human preference. A majority who adopts rules restricting the use of their property, and limits the definition of what money they agree to trade in, is not a government. Prices are effected by these agreed-upon rules. It is true anarchist, self-sovereign, market-driven rules that flow out of this collaborative network of nodes who represent the choice of those who transact in their concensus-money. It is not "Democrat" or "Republican" it is "state" or "non-state". I am not saying BIP110 is either state or non-state, but the infiltration by the owner-class and state covert operations into the core team does represent the will of the state, and their anti-concensus behavior reflects an exercise of power under the cover of darkness, against the will of those who depend on them to reflect their collective will. BIP110 is merely an attempt to mitigate the damage done by the state.

2026-07-13 12:05:54 UTC

Yes, but the "Republican" argument can also be the anarchist argument: "I will not be forced to sponsor things I disagree with, therefore if you want to utilize my property, you first must follow my rules."

It is a non-trivial operation to switch from core v28/v29 to knots. I suspect the majority of the "protestant" nodes are simply lazy and/or don't have the horsepower to run two nodes during the changeover.

Get ramps for oil changes, don't crawl under a car on stands. You can get them used from junk yards or Craigslist.
Get a fumoto valve to replace your oil plug, much cleaner, you can drain directly into an empty oil jug.
Cut an old gallon jug in half length wise and leave the screw cap on and hold it under the filter as you screw it off and let the filter fall into the jug.
This is how you do a spill-free oil change. A plastic oil pan is only needed to catch any drips in case something tips over or slides.

I started out doing my own oil. When I was "rollin" in it and had 4 vehicles to maintain, I would bring it into a local place and I trusted the owner. But then he hired different management, and he had jokers working there, then I notice an oil puddle in the garage so I go back to doing it myself.
I find out they overtightened the oil plug, they put the cheap filter on, they never checked the air filter after they said they did. There are only two fixes for a stripped out oil plug: A) a new oil plan, which involves lifting the engine and removing the exhaust manifold. Or B) a timesert. Option B doesent always work, but it did for me and against my better judgement the hard lesson over again: letting a dufus touch your engine costs way more than however much they charge.

There are some valid privacy arguments against using npubs as a wallet, but to use it as a way to send money to an anon is not a privacy problem since most zaps are public anyway. Yes, it can be a doxing problem when the newbie-anon mixes it with their cold wallet or with sending KYC funds, but that's an education problem not a technical one. If one has a policy of swapping npub-associated sats through boltz or an onchain mixing service, there is no privacy problem. At that point it's just sats.

Lightning isn't for normies. Cashu is centralized. I think both can evolve and upgrade, but we don't have a solution yet. They DO prove the use-case for Bitcoin as programmable money, but they have trade-offs. So far as reliability is concerned, Bitcoin takes the cake. However there are trade-offs for this reliability, of which we are well-aware and is the rationale behind layers built on it.
Architecture is not easy. There are no silver-bullets. Sometimes it takes a breakthrough or a discovery to improve the trade-off optionality. I think that is what we are waiting for.
Take this list of system architecture trade-offs as an illumination. It's not always a simple iron triangle:
- Scalability vs. performance
- Vertical vs. horizontal scaling
- Latency vs. throughput
- Stateful vs. stateless architecture
- SQL vs. NoSQL databases
- Batch vs. stream processing
- Synchronous vs. asynchronous processing
- Consistency vs. availability.
- Cost vs. quality
- Time-to-market vs. technical debt

- Status layer: other girls see she has been chosen.
- Agency layer: she permits the ritual instead of mocking it.
- Threshold layer: the door is the passage into another possible life.

I thought it was a little suspicious this company was allowed to operate. Now it makes sense.

If you run your lightning node with a cashu mint, and lock it down with individual credentials, then you can restrict the ecash within your own personal circle, share use of your lightning node with anyone you choose without "accounts" and you can't see what friends and family are doing, which makes it more useful to them.

My 12 year old girls went to a movie with a friend the other day.
They were amazed, they never saw a screen that big before.
Let that sink in.

I "invested" in a gpu card back in the day. It looks great on a spreadsheet, the idea you are going to at least make your money back and get private coin. Then the thing breaks and never works again no matter what you do. All your dreams of breaking-even swirling in a cesspool. I realized it is way more efficient with your time and money to just buy coin.
Leave mining to people who know the risks and the ins and outs. It's like living in the city and buying a horse, not knowing the first thing about horses, but you think it will be cool. Within a week you find out it gets dirty, diseased, causes problems you never guessed about, needs constant attention, makes noise and stinks, and eventually dies but you have no idea why. Your plan was to "make your money back" by riding it to work, but it turned it to be a second job just to have it and you screw up majorly and realize it's going to cost a lot more before you figure out the ins and outs of owning a horse before you can keep one alive, and it's unlikely you'll ever save or make money on the activity.
If you're serious about mining, but have no clue what it takes and you're not interested in losing way more money than you can generate, spend your money on rented hashpower and point it at your own node. At least that way you can limit your losses and learn the ins and outs of mining before diving into trying to heat your home with a miner.
