It doesn’t say anything about enforcement, though? The relevant claim is “The heaviest proof-of-work chain contains no blocks that violate BIP-110 constraints from the BIP-110 activation point onward” It is entirely mum on what happens without activation until after the bet “resolves”. Any bet on this would need to resolve closer to the end of the year after the forced-activation.

The way this is defined doesn’t it resolve to “yes” if no miners ever signal for 110 at all (resulting in the fork only happening on sept 1 at which point the bet resolves?)

No, because I’d rather be at a bar :)

I dunno who needs to hear this but seeing a professional (American) football game in person is strictly worse than on TV. The games are made for TV. Do you know what happens in the stadium for the nearly 50% of the time that they’re showing commercials? Absolutely fucking nothing. Oh you have a box? Cool, I’d rather be at a bar watching it on TV.

ODELL finally admits he controls the Bitcoin price.

I mean obviously we disagree but this conversation was never about whether that’s right or wrong. In fact I’m happy to see people disagreeing without assuming bad intent! My point above was that comments like “I hope the next wave of Bitcoin developers agree with me instead”, which you made above, are pretty shitty. If you want to see a wave of Bitcoin developers that agrees with you, do something about it! Either contribute yourself or help find new developers. Slipping in sideways celebration that someone contributing a ton to Bitcoin was driven out by harassment at the end of a comment isn’t gonna inspire anyone to work on it, and worse it’s just gonna discourage people who might have wanted to bring in the next wave of developers to give up because who wants to bring in more people just for them to suffer absurd harassment?

Sure, most do, but at some point if you deal with vile harassment nonstop it’s probably not worth it. Maybe you still believe in the cause, even, but that doesn’t mean you’ll work on it.

Mostly just that the sign was created by people young enough that they didn’t even consider rock to be a risk to kids :)

It’s impressive how well LLMs demonstrate the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.

lol what did you “philosophically disagree” with her on? If you just say OP_RETURN relay, it might be worth pointing out that she isn’t even who pushed any changes!
