Last Notes npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr And we shouldn't fork off Taproot, just close the vulnerabilities it introduced npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Witness is part of the block.... npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr That just means you're stupid npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr *Rejecting* BIP110 is the hardfork. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr BIP110 fixes a threat bigger than any theft/inflation bugs. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr BIP110 is already safe, despite SuperTestnet's FUD npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The block size limit was never set in bitcoin.conf - maybe you mean the size of blocks you produce as a miner? Knots still has that. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Removing rules is a hardfork. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr These are mixing up words, but the concepts sound coherent. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It doesn't fail. If it could fail, that would mean Bitcoin is fatally flawed and will never work. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr "Inscriptions" are spam, not data/image storage, despite what the scammers want you to believe. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It accomplishes what it intended to: closing the CSAM attack vector. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Others have proposed that. But the witness discount was created for good reasons. I don't think a blunt removal is the right approach. Maybe some more thought to weight as a concept instead? The Knots Discord has a #future-softforks channel that would be perfect to begin discussion of "what next" after BIP110 is active. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr That being said, running older/Core nodes _does_ leave you insecure if miners attack the network. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr With respect to BIP110: npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr All merchants. If they trust Square for everything, it's Square that needs a full node. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr BIP110 does not protect against it until activation. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Doing nothing is acceptance npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Yes, it's been possible since the Core30 release in October. We're getting close to fixing it with BIP110 npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr In the meantime, talk to your favourite merchants and businesses. Ensure they don't fall for the "BIP110 has failed" gaslighting, and that they've upgraded their nodes. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr You will know. If you use Bitcoin anyway, that is intent. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Scammers and bad actors have been claiming BIP110 was "dead on arrival" or otherwise failed from the first day Dathon Ohm published it. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Now do if running a node requires committing a crime npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Happy Dependence on God day! npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It does. But the main goal isn't to prevent spam, it's to prevent CSAM legal attacks against Bitcoin. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr BIP110 creates a rare opportunity for bitcoiners we should take advantage of: npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There's only one "side" right now: RDTS. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Wrong npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr That's not possible. Only invalid blocks will get reorg'd (and only to obsolete no-longer-full nodes). BIP-110 blocks will never be reorg'd (aside from the ordinary course of races) npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr No, BIP 110 only fixes bugs. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It doesn't invalidate any transactions, much less past ones. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 1. You are, by supporting a diverse ecosystem of multiple node implementations and not leaving Knots as the only option. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Bitcoin today is the result of a few hardforks npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr BIP 110 has already succeeded. Miners stopping mining Bitcoin in response would be a reason to change PoW, but there's no reason they would do that npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr (The tools are hardforks and PoW change only; PoW removal is not such a tool; there's still no sane alternatives to proof-of-work!) npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Both are important tools the Bitcoin community always has available if ever needed, and people shouldn't be afraid to discuss them; but the current situation does not warrant their use. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Certain bad actors are trying to distract you with lies about me supposedly calling for a hardfork or proof-of-work change/removal. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr RDTS has sufficient community support npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr That was also subverting it npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Completely irrational. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr That's a lie. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Is there a way to get past such psychological bugs? npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Core30 intentionally enabled attackers to force every Bitcoin user to distribute CSAM. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr No, because a counter-fork to reject RDTS would be explicitly protecting the ability to force others to distribute child porn. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The current Bitcoin is activating RDTS npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr I do not, liar. Bpedo is the counter-fork to reject RDTS. Bitcoin is RDTS. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It's obvious to anyone paying any attention. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Then you're an idiot npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Coming out as anti-Bitcoin? npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Core would gaslight that it's not a bug. Giacomo would insist we do nothing. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Haskell isn't bootstrappable so bad for security npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The spec for Tonal Bitcoin (TBC) was finished 2011 January 7th npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr What? npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There's nothing to address, it's all just lies npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Anyone vs anything. Big difference npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Just keep pretending consensus rules are the only rules and hope people believe you? Idk why you would expect that to fool me npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Not interested in your scams. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The other restrictions prevent the same issue. OP_RETURN is not the only contiguous region that can be abused. There is no "different issue" addressed by RDTS. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 1) The RDTS limit is 256 _bytes_, not kilobytes. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It takes time to think through, implement, and review a more complicated long term change. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr No, it acknowledges BitVM issues are a tradeoff and that is part of why it expires in a year. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Miners do not control the network. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 60% is what recent data shows. Feel free to do your own analysis. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There's ways to do it, but the spammers _want_ to force you to download and distribute it, so they intentionally use the harmful ways. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr If you oppose preventing CSAM, you objectively do support CSAM. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It doesn't, this is just the latest Epstein narrative being parroted over and over to try to brainwash people. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Your "argument" is no basis to force others to store and distribute anything, much less CSAM. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr So no actual bug, just FUD npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Until it expires obviously npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There is only one chain, soon with RDTS rules enforced for 1 year. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr What "fix"? RDTS isn't broken... npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr You don't know what you're talking about npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Liar npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Consensus is 100%, not a majority. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Softforks almost never have consensus. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr BIP444 aka BIP110 npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There is NO difference at all between CSAM on a hard drive and CSAM via Core30's data storage mechanism. And you're ignoring the whole distribution part. And yes, they are accessible by non-techies. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Wrong, RDTS brings us back to where we were before Core30. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr They would be anti-RDTS npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr One-word replies are necessary to counter Brandolini's law. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It has nothing to do with me, troll npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr No, it makes CSAM completely impossible. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr There's also a risk bad actors will retaliate and/or counter-fork, but those risks only go down with more RDTS adoption. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 2) No real impact/cost. Miners and nodes need to upgrade. There's some strictly theoretical tradeoffs documented in the BIP itself: https://github.com/dathonohm/bips/blob/reduced-data/bip-0110.mediawiki npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr 1) Bitcoin's security depends on a supermajority of the economy using their own full node. CSAM means every full node will be actively engaging in child porn distribution. Most people will never be willing to do that. Without people using their own nodes, Bitcoin becomes just a worse version of fiat (including, but not limited to, inflation, seizures, etc). Spam makes it harder to run a full node, so is a similar threat over a longer period of time. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr You're the liar. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Dorsey invested in OCEAN npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It's okay to be ignorant about RDTS and withhold judgement until you understand it better. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Without the lies you're parroting. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Imagine thinking fake news media is a defense. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr Yes it is. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr More lies. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr All comparable softfork attempts have succeeded, and so will RDTS. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr It's not part of BIP110, but I don't care. Bitcoin is dead if it mandates CSAM distribution. If such a block is created, I am personally rejecting it and encouraging everyone else to do the same regardless. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr That doesn't mean you should join the scammers, Odell. npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk Luke Dashjr The only things RDTS is hostile toward are CSAM and spammers.
