Everything starts to make more sense when you think of the everyman as livestock that some farmer needs to get to do something. We&#39;re a bit more complicated than your average farm animal so the steering routines have to be similarly more complex.<br/><br/>The craziest part is they generally practice for this shit. See Event 201 on YouTube. It&#39;s all there, pre-rehearsed. Right down to the social media &#34;misinformation&#34; and how they would deal with it. All just months before Fauci&#39;s predicted &#34;surprise pandemic&#34;. <br/><br/>Want to really blow your mind? Look at the coordination in all western countries culminating in the ridiculous tribal war going on in Eastern Europe between 2 factions of the same tribe. Young men are literally being ripped from the arms of their mothers and being thrown into the meat-grinder, senselessly. There&#39;s no prospect of winning, just less Western men with their liberty-mindedness, to interfere with elite/globalist aspirations. Murder in plain sight with a meticulously crafted cover story narrated over decades by propaganda. The end result is the same: a continued decline in the number of western, liberty-minded people. 2026-05-08T13:44:12Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspturcp70ytrglgec5ec058505qwd7j6kqd64vmzl60k298k6ghfqzypxk9009dnw9h7y5pe2zwkftgmty8dr0ryrm5jce35rv0s2wqpf0gazj277 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqavsa3ag52vzcz4rd0qjf936u2z0uzehzhkaps9pqhwareey5qhgpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9upl06pn'>nevent1q…06pn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/> <img src="https://npub1f43tmetvm3dl39qw2sn4j26x6epmgmceq7aykxvdqmruznsq2t6qk38uan.blossom.band/973b2e81d0fca87bd6c03900a5b919b77d5f0ee615d301c62d5325562c8f90b4.jpg"> 2026-05-08T13:17:51Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf0zj536usn4fnpstt3npfvgud6ydf6p4verslke8sgf0wsa9ua8qzypxk9009dnw9h7y5pe2zwkftgmty8dr0ryrm5jce35rv0s2wqpf0gcmt4z7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqq9ah5vmmzw9y2nqeqj95pyt4dz8nlny5wj4ft47dhf8d0zwlcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6tccta8he'>nevent1q…a8he</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That was my point about BIP177.

I thought most of those sort of clips had emerged back when Charlie was assassinated. It&#39;s amazing there are so many examples. He will truly be missed.

It reminds me of early demonstrations of remote payments by sharing a bitcoin &#34;invoice&#34; qr code with a willing payer via livestream or just text. I think Roger Ver demoed that use case back in the early days. <br/><br/>Since this 33me to involve payment via credit or debit card, I&#39;m curious about how charge-backs are dealt with. <br/><br/>I think in-person transactions generally are &#34;insured&#34; so to speak by the payer being present and maybe even on camera. It seems like the remote payer could potentially game a system like this because they are anonymous, off camera, and could just accept the bitcoin and then do a charge-back at some point afterwards. <br/><br/>Maybe the protection is that their credit/debit card company would flag this sort of activity if it happened too frequently? 2026-01-18T17:28:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxnea09pmkh8xppznzprmf6xggwr7c8t9m2xwkh9cpjsk7kv6t2eczypxk9009dnw9h7y5pe2zwkftgmty8dr0ryrm5jce35rv0s2wqpf0gdmqmqm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf3se8yvs9nrfdkft4m4djmrv5q8dst3f4zvclg4cj707rasategsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0dgx259'>nevent1q…x259</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Just think, now that Dorsey unilaterally adopted BIP177 for his many thousands of centralized properties there are now arguably &#34;only&#34; 2.1 quadrillion Bitcoin. <br/><br/>But at least now bitcoiners can spend their bitcoin because we all know there was no way to do that before he popped in to rescue us all. <br/><br/>Such a huge asset to this space.<br/><br/> 🙄 2025-11-15T10:54:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgth5z0ycfns8x9x007nqvt94pfmxdzgfvkre47x3hj9lw8tq6ctszypxk9009dnw9h7y5pe2zwkftgmty8dr0ryrm5jce35rv0s2wqpf0g72wvxd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst80thufpscu2jsz3pxtchnrkyn6mrg9tl6u4qjj28yqw35yjlvlsprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7exn6uq'>nevent1q…n6uq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Just what nostr needs, a massive influx of human created shallow dopamine hits (brainrot) and those who consume it, to counter all the intellectual discussion and content.<br/><br/>I&#39;ll predict what happens next: splintering. <br/><br/>Definitely not a bad actor. smh 2025-11-15T10:36:01Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8gvc4fxejrszktev3w2k9fjnj9jgw29x7tu26kwlytkvpndtau6szypxk9009dnw9h7y5pe2zwkftgmty8dr0ryrm5jce35rv0s2wqpf0gdwhmxs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg6eupe0qr7z5l7ml4g5xzjrcuwhm5vn5cn2z3xpfphs673emdcmspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcmq3l85'>nevent1q…3l85</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s beautiful!

Choice is good and multiple implementations is positive. I think we just need to stop short of confidently assigning negative motivations to people who have been doing amazing work for years. <br/><br/>Open and respectful discussion between people who understand all these dynamics is what&#39;s needed. Not emotional libelous flame wars. 2025-10-12T17:39:25Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvvujv4vvtru2g4t0dd44pq3sashevjfauzf95nh242jk32qfkvzqzypxk9009dnw9h7y5pe2zwkftgmty8dr0ryrm5jce35rv0s2wqpf0g2v4pcz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2hjzzajkvvpwhe2n6rw36e03plw0t4kwknchwszdumn890zp94qgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcl9ujcy'>nevent1q…ujcy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>A 26 TB disk costs $550 USD.

There have been a dozen threads on reddit on the matter, which is pretty sad because it's mostly a nothing burger... I've wasted tens of hours writing responses only to find that generally the opponents just vanish.<br/><br/>Back in 2014 the average block size was only around 160 kilobytes, as a result there was no real pressure to drive up transaction fees and it was extremely cheap to stuff whatever garbage data you wanted in Bitcoin's chain. Some people were storing data by paying to fake addresses which were really just data instead of an address. This is maximally bad because it bloats up the UTXO database with unprunable data, directly increasing the minimum cost to run a node.<br/><br/>To address this core devs introduced a 'data carrier' output type also called an OP_RETURN. This is a kind of output which provably can't be spent so it doesn't have to go into the utxo database and can be pruned. Additionally, they limited the size of the data to 40 bytes in order to encourage applications which can just store a hash instead of the data to do that. Later this limit was increased to 80 bytes.<br/><br/>The world has changed a lot since 2014: Fees are now not just meaningful but significant, no one is dumping data in Bitcoin because it's *cheap*. People dumping data in have almost entirely moved to dumping data in the witness portion of transactions. Major miners no longer enforce this limit, because it turns out they like money (and have denied requests to limit themselves), and if you are willing to directly connect to one its easy to get them mined. There are some users who are still creating 'fake outputs' but have said they would change to opreturn if not for the limit (particularly some payment channel thing). Finally, use of hashes for commitments is now well understood and there are over 2 commitments per second flowing into open-timestamps which can aggregate an unlimited number of commitments into a single transaction.<br/><br/>The limit also causes some harm to all users of Bitcoin, particularly since multiple significant miners ignore it. When you don't already know a transaction (because it never reached you or you discarded it) it takes *much* longer to relay a block to you (at least 3x the delay if you knew everything but potentially much more depending on how much data you are missing), this harms small miners at the expense of big miners increasing a centralization pressure on mining (because when miners aren't on the same chaintip, one one bigger miners are on will tend to win). It also contributes to mining centralization by encouraging direct transaction submission since no one will bother submitting to a 1% miner, allowing the bigger miners to make more money. An inaccurate mempool also harms users ability to accurately estimate what transactions are pending for the next block so that they can optimally bid against them.<br/><br/>So it was proposed that the limit be removed. There are two proposals, one that just removes the limit completely, which is the first and simpler proposal. Then there is another proposal which makes the default unlimited but retains the ability to adjust it. At this time neither of the proposals have been merged, descriptions of this as having been done are just untruthful. <br/><br/>Arguments against it don't seem to hold up.<br/><br/>The first category of opposition is basically just accusing Bitcoin Core devs of being in favor of shitcoins or monkey jpegs, having talked to many I am confident that few or even none of them like that stuff (no one I've talked to was in favor of it). But no matter how much they don't like that stuff, that doesn't change that this proposal should have no significant effect on it-- it's unrelated. That stuff doesn't use opreturn today and would cost more in transaction fees if it did.<br/><br/>The next category of opposition is just general opposition to 'spam'-- again this proposal is largely unrelated because spammers won't use this, and to whatever extent they do it'll be good news (either moving from utxo bloating fake outputs or increasing their costs). It's an incidious argument because most contributors to Bitcoin core believe there isn't much meaningfully more that can be done about spam: Miners have bypassed the filters that were there, fees have excluded all price sensitive spam. Bitcoin was designed to be censorship resistant and depends on censorship resistance to work-- and a fact of free speech is that it means it allows both speech you like and speech you oppose. Arguments are made that blocking this traffic isn't morally equivalent to censorship. Perhaps! but it's still substantially *technically* equivalent. But, again, this is all a distraction in that the proposed change shouldn't meaningfully facilitate any new spam.<br/><br/>Ultimately the subject is deep in the minutia. It won't make a difference to your usage of Bitcoin. The only really concerning thing I see in the subject is the degree that people have successfully weaponized misinformation to direct a lot of entirely undeserved abuse at contributors to Bitcoin Core. ... who had only just started discussing a proposal when they were waylaid by a flood of disproportionate comments and falsehoods.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/s/elIDdPaQhL">https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/s/elIDdPaQhL</a> </blockquote> 2025-05-13T09:44:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv64mvzlmjfcsgdavt6j2xjqq6zleeaqeuhpeh8zqqj3njdmutuyczypxk9009dnw9h7y5pe2zwkftgmty8dr0ryrm5jce35rv0s2wqpf0gvkpu2m Dan Held sounds an awful lot like a 2016 nocoiner about Nostr. <br/><br/>&#34;Remember Bitcoin?
