stronger sidechain primitives... but the cultural rot cannot be fixed. people are deeply embedded in the community who benefit from the solution never getting implemented and if it does, they lose their business. the real bitcoin immune system is when you start sneering at anyone who develops lightning things and trusted third party things and other time wasters. these obstructionists are the problem.

2026-07-23 09:12:22 CEST

the number of people you have to call shitcoiners just keeps growing and growing. unlike the amount of money in the lightning network, or the amount of fee revenue being collected by bitcoin miners. the only thing you know how to increase anymore is the prevalence of trusted third parties.

BTC doesn't need hashrate escrows to get good sidechains, it can be done in other ways as well
if you stay married like this and keep talking about it this way, people will say sidechains are bad because of a perceived flaw in hashrate escrows

drivechain is happening in about a month and a half from now. it's just implemented to cause a chain split. core could copy and paste it later, or do covenants instead just to be different.

bitcoin is not scaling properly. when most people must use lightning through a trusted third party (like lightspark) it behaves identically to a CBDC. the bad thing is already happening right now! some of us have recognized that lightning cannot work at scale without depending on these bad companies and we are suggesting to do sidechains instead. if you still don't understand this we cannot understand it for you.

it needs to capture all value because of the emission curve and the dwindling block subsidy. it needs to devour other altcoins and take their fee revenue or it won't be able to pay for its own network security. this might not even work and I agree with you I am comfortable on ETH and XMR today. but BTC cannot just do nothing and everything so far has not worked. the fee market is collapsed.

it is impossible for a large number of people to run their own nodes. not just difficult, actually impossible. almost everyone on lightning is using an IOU system to borrow channels being operated by a business. they are not using their own nodes. lightning was invented to reintroduce banking into bitcoin. it is the reason why these companies exist. if lightning works, why do these companies need to exist?

2026-06-28 20:12:48 CEST

- reply

the only reason why people FUD drivechains, or covenants, or string concatenation, is that there is now a whole ecosystem of companies running some kind of centralized, parasitic, lightning flavored scaling on top of bitcoin. one little opcode would put these companies out of business. they have to FUD the sidechain idea and freeze opcodes so they don't die. this is a form of capture and it is sad that you can't tell it is happening.

I've never seen someone go around saying "there are no solutions only tradeoffs" who wasn't defending trusted third parties, which could easily be replaced with opcodes. If I ran a trusted third party business and I was siphoning money away from the miners like a parasite, I would flood social media with premature ossification advocacy.
I guess this is just too abstract and hard to understand if you think BIP-110 is a good idea, and the sun revolves around the earth, and it's okay to keep using the same VPS after a hacker already broke into it.
