You can't give people privacy. They have to adopt it. You can have all the private tools in your tool belt and still be bad at OPSEC. Imagine thinking that if a money is ubiquitous enough, the CIA won't have an opinion on it.🤣

Yes, not directly, but indirectly. Giving people the idea that a contentious soft pork pushed through without a URSF it's not only doable, but more likely. To be fair, to BIP110 though, the SegWit soft fork really opened this door and BIP110 methodology is just widening it.
Remember, there's literally nothing anyone can do about someone spinning up fake pubkeys. That is a serious validation vulnerability and I don't think there's any (palatable) way to do anything about that.

Why would the pool of potential candidates be small? It's not like you had to have some sort of credential or anything to come up with the idea. It's basically a mashup of already existent cryptographic techniques and distributed server systems.
I didn't know I was going to get absolutely enthralled by cryptography and anarcho-capitalist systems. I was a truck driver before this. I literally just wrote my first program in Rust yesterday. Although I've written other stuff in C and C++ before, but that was like in high school.
And given that the first implementation of Bitcoin was not particularly well written, I think that rules Adam out.

I think it's being fashioned into an "US vs THEM" conflict because people on the Core side do the old trust the experts line while people on the RDTS side are hand waving away the potential for it to go very badly.

2026-07-13 19:47:29 UTC

- reply

I don't claim ownership of anything. To use bitcoin you agreed to store consensus valid data on your machine.
The right to deny that data falls into two categories: Your mempool of pending transactions and valid blocks.
To deny the first, you set node policy.
To deny the second, you fork Bitcoin or stop using it.
I didn't invoke the landauer principle against BIP110, I am talking about Segwit and taproot and by extension, the current valid Bitcoin chain.
I don't know how you arrived at your response but please read more carefully.

I'm talking about the intended purpose of OP_RETURN which is return zero when added to the stack, which in layman's terms means do not relay to the network.

2026-07-13 13:46:23 UTC

- reply

While I understand your perspective, it is still hinted by elements of force. The root problem is the fee market being manipulated by discounting certain bytes (via weight unit measurement) at one-fourth the cost as other bytes when they are both physically on people's nodes.
Now you can say that people are complicit by running the code, but I would also say then you should call everyone a statist because they're complicit with the state's demands as well.

"Tight" as in, the way it was intended to be used?
Would you say it's a "tightening" of policy in a gold standard to not overprint coupons?

2026-07-13 12:10:35 UTC

- reply

It cannot be anarchist argument because even in restricting the rule set they still distort the fee market. You haven't fixed the root of the problem which is the "governmental" interference itself. This is at best Libertarian and we all know how that works out.
Think of it this way. Believing in property rights allows you to hold cash and nobody can force you to spend it. But the government can still print it, which is the actual problem. In this original analogy, the "government" printed block space.

The thing I hate the most about this Core/RDTS shit is democrats and republicans in Bitcoin and no one seems to call it out.
Root problem: Weight units measurement breaks the fee market.
Democrats: fees will price the spam out, lets give them a safe place to put the data.
Republicans: lets restrict freedom everywhere so that the bad guys can't spam (they still can.)
Me (Anarchist): Remove the witness discount and make OP_RETURN non standard again. (Removing perverse incentives and letting the market decide)

The signature prior to the fork transferring the coins to another wallet can be replayed on the other chain.

You literally cannot add a bare pub key to Monero. It will be rejected by consensus.

2026-07-11 13:43:29 UTC

That's how a computer works. Your firewall is rejecting data that it doesn't want. Everything you store on your computer is being filtered by your parameters. This is not new and it's not censorship.
Even by your metric, you're filtering out Bitcoin transactions from a Monero chain. Filters are in place "censoring" data all the time. It's just you draw the line further.

Well, it would (unless block height restricted enforcement was used) be a hard fork to change it now, unfortunately. But the result of which would be transactions being priced correctly and fewer total spam blocks getting in. Very likely if spam is not as necessary as true transactions, they would be priced out.

You see a sea of cryptos as a way to adopt Monero and Bitcoin? How? Why?
If I can make fiat in a digital wrapper, sell it as crypto because...yadda yadda blockchain, yadda yadda mining... Then what incentive do companies have to actually adopt sound money? You know sound money is much harder to fuck around with, right? This is what Saylor is learning first hand. This is what all the suitcoiners are learning and have learned since probably 2017. The reason why sound money works is because when you try to financialize it, you get absolutely fucking wrecked. That's not a bug. That's not something discouraging mass adoption. That's a feature.

He's literally talking about more Bitcoin adoption and less fiat adoption in that post. So I kind of don't know what the hell you're talking about.
The option isn't some altcoin made out of thin air or fiat. There's also Bitcoin that they could have accepted and they advertised, but then they changed their mind.

Please read Mises or Rothbard, man. Diversified portfolios are boomer logic about gambling on stocks.
Bitcoin is having a crisis surrounding the informal ologarchy of maintainers and devs.
People talking about the price in dollars are retarded all around. You might as well worry about how many bitcoin you can get for handwoven tablecloths, it's completely irrelevant for people who don't want those things.
Ethereum is an inefficient computer network. It's not a coin anymore than the bits on your computer are a "coin" or token of the information you are saving.
Monero...AGAIN, is neat, super cypherpunk, and great for privacy. It is also a terrible economic tool because believe it or not most retards don't understand it and never will.
If I hand you a part to a 1968 Corvair and say "Here, trade me 100lbs of meat. This part is very valuable!" You would rightly say: I don't want that no matter how cool or valuable it is to you. THAT is Monero. It is only valuable to cypherpunks and like it or not we are .0001% of the economy (if that).
As complicated as Bitcoin is under the hood people like the simplicity of the suitcoiner mental model of Bitcoin. Slogans like "Not your keys not your coins," "Only 21Million," and "12 words allow me to store money in my head" make it so retards can use something that they can't even comprehend.

Pride is a useful to for continuing tradition. Why do what your forefathers had established? Why not completely reinvent society every generation? Pride in that very chain you speak of. No one claims they single handedly made western society, that is a strawman. They simply look around at the ends of each of these preceeding cultures and see that western culture builds a coherent structure where others fail at: freedom of association, presumption of innocence, meritocratic reward, and so many other faults.
This pride is not some mockery of other cultural failures. It is a message to those around the world that western culture has put many of humanity's achievements into a single framework and it works. The deviation from which is done at our own peril.
This blueprint on how to achieve must be inhabited to be fulfilled. The separation of your race or culture, birthplace, etc, is to say "I could have been born anywhere, any race, or in any lineage and had the same principles. This is simply not true. You are the bext in the chain but you are not interchangeable with any other link. Humans are not gray interchangeable blobs.
