Therefore, the aim must be to prevent node runners from picking a team by following the simplistic arguments of famous and corrupted sinfluencers and celebrities. Saying &#34;it will fail&#34; without providing a reason is not an argument. Instead, wide-ranging arguments interconnecting economics, psychology, and other fields should be presented so that node runners can decide for themselves. #BIP110 2026-07-15T14:39:24Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsq48n3p6ay4krweu3s6xs74ttuupdvsxsw2q25nmv2nk3kepp2stgzyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5y76e3cr Activation of #BIP110 does not cause a permanent chain split. Therefore, people talking about selling one side of the fork are mistaken, as you cannot sell an unstable split (wipeout risk is a no go for exchanges). Furthermore, complaining about missing replay protection is misguided. If CoreV30+ wants to protect their spam chain in case of a temporary chain split—to make it permanent—then they have to hard fork themselves. The protestants (CoreV29-) will certainly not move there. So, posting this misinformation really reveals their desperation. 2026-07-13T07:58:36Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9w967zs6q5sng0c7eqnv35hr4d5q6xc67stxzn2glx05rvvequ4czyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5yhr0rgc The store of value narrative, lending against bitcoin, treasury companies, ETFs, and making it harder to run a node are all attacks against the self-custody of your bitcoin.

As a result, you will probably have three major players in the market, with progressives in the minority, and ossification will accelerate further. #BIP110 2026-03-29T07:29:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspm7em3l5wzldqdfzfk45xqevmppe0gezwwc876fth76sxk2mtt7qzyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5yszxq82 If users who have not yet updated to &gt;=v30 or changed to Knots switch to #ProductionReady, then the loss of market share for Core would be correctly reflected even on legacy node statistics sites. The loss is, in fact, far more than 50%. I mean, how can you count the people who refuse to update to the Core camp?

The fact that the girls hired for DEI purposes struggled to produce anything useful for a long time underlines this point. Developing in the open (book recommendations: &#34;Producing Open Source Software&#34; by Karl Fogel, &#34;Working in Public&#34; by Nadia Eghbal) cannot hide politics or mediocre performance for a long time. In the end, everything will be revealed rather quickly, and forking the codebase is the result. #BIP110 2026-03-28T07:13:12Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgc46tpzqeknjj8dqme5usjf2ld6mvt39w69hy2w5qyrclp30h5nczyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5yu7mkk5 If a miner is relying on the additional fee currently generated by spam, then such a company is doomed soon anyway.

At least you need to provide an explanation of why you think so — only then a debate is possible.

Giacomo assumes they follow hash rate. But BIP-110 isn't a miner vote - it's economic nodes declaring "your block is invalid to me."<br/><br/>If exchanges, payment processors, and hodlers run Knots/BIP-110, that minority chain has the economic weight. Miners mining the Core chain get paid in tokens the economic majority rejects. The "rational" choice follows price, not hash rate.<br/><br/>Giacomo admits he doesn't run Core v30. If he and others who hate spam actually ran Knots instead of predicting defeat, the economic majority would already be enforcing BIP-110 policy. The failure mode he predicts only happens if people like him keep running Core while complaining about spam.<br/><br/>On "Wasted Consensus Space"<br/>Giacomo argues we should save our "fork political capital" for CTV or block size reduction. This is backwards. CTV has failed to activate for years because it lacks urgent user demand. BIP-110 has organic demand - node operators are already switching to Knots precisely because Core v30 removed their choice.<br/><br/>If we can't coordinate on "stop forcing nodes to host illegal content," we certainly can't coordinate on covenants. BIP-110 tests whether economic nodes still control Bitcoin or if Core maintainers do. That's not a waste - it's a prerequisite for any future change.<br/><br/>On the "Fake Emergency"<br/>Giacomo says spam is decreasing (post-ordinals). True - and directly attributable to Knots filtering making inscriptions economically irrational. The emergency isn't "spam is winning." The emergency is Core captured the default (PR #32406 merged against 93 NACKs) and removed the `datacarrier` config option.<br/><br/>When 38% of your UTXO set is inscription dust under 1k sats, and Core incentivizes more UTXO bloat to benefit Citrea (per Todd's admission), that's not "fake emergency." That's ongoing capture. Waiting until nodes require 128GB RAM to validate is too late.<br/><br/>On Breaking OP_IF<br/>Valid technical criticism - BIP-110 shouldn't break miniscript/nunchuk. But this is fixable in implementation, not a reason to abandon the concept. The PR is still open; feedback improves it. Giacomo conflates "current draft has bugs" with "concept is bad."<br/><br/>The Real Disagreement<br/>Giacomo wants ossification - he says "consistency of rules matters more than the rules being good." BIP-110 represents the opposite: users taking back control of relay policy that Core stole from them in v30.<br/><br/>He predicts BIP-110 will fail and damage the anti-spam camp's credibility. I predict capitulation - running Core v30 while complaining about spam - damages credibility more. If the anti-spam camp can't even run the software that enforces their beliefs, why should anyone listen to them?<br/><br/>BIP-110 might fail. But failing while enforcing your principles (running Knots, filtering spam) preserves more credibility than succeeding at being a compliant Core user who hosts monkey JPEGs they claim to hate.<br/><br/>Run Knots. Filter the spam. Let the hash rate follow the economy. <br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqs9pjtzytkt7hpu6w58y65p2t407cakmrxzf0zkxnfunn3cu2fs6uczypuqwzqz2q34ky7gldn6ate5pujvxwz9kfrsulwu0mqdgrqqdqny2qcyqqqqqqg05dh9q" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…dh9q</a></span> </blockquote> 2026-03-14T08:08:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw62p4s2k2shdl5j6gz25796wcprsgw093t3hnxxy4ceyglszeleszyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5yw4jw6v In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA4T-66itoA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA4T-66itoA</a> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cprfmhxw309a382emdv9hzumt8w4ujumn9wsargwp58qhsz9mhwden5te0vfjhgcfwdehhxarjd9kzucmpd5hszxmhwden5te0vejk2ern9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshhgmmw0y3vm78m" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>BTCsessions</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…m78m</span>)</a></span>, <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsw3znfr6vdnxrujezjrhlkqqjlvpcqx79ys7gcph9mkjjsy7zsgygpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsc5rrsm" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>NVK</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…rrsm</span>)</a></span> and <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqs94rjcrut2qyhzf54xgq2j44tzqkxtqe0pmu5wjp7ph75zc9gv3wspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7d907hm" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>FRANCIS</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…07hm</span>)</a></span> made fun of the unusability and impracticality of running nodes of other chains, but I did not hear any thoughts about the fact that this could happen to bitcoin, too.
