https://blockspaceweekly.substack.com/p/issue5-bip-110-fixes-this This is just 10 days of running it, I would disagree with your premise. Saying spam isn't an emergency is like saying using fiat is not an emergency. Sure temporally, not immediate but inaction compounds the future consequences.

See, that's what people are saying when they run their BIP 110 nodes just not from your perspective. They don't believe that people like Lopp and Adam Back are anything but toxic freaks. As they have routinely expressed their acceptance of spam. And they are not going to go along with the status quo because of spam being allowed on the blockchain. No one is forcing you to run that node. Do whatever you want.

Creating a sense of emergency is not anything that was done by the not side. It was the core developers not acknowledging valid criticism of blowing open the OP_RETURN field. That sort of "pipe down, plebs." created a sense of emergency. I personally am an advocate for removing standardness of OP_RETURN and removing the witness discount as a way to let the free market decide on what is important on the blockchain. Inscriptions would be full price and no plaintext data can be saved or relayed (unless submitted directly by a miner) BIP110 is what happens when people with authority moderate valid opposition.

But prior to this contention you wouldn't have said unless you're betting on Bitcoin Core by wagering people on Wall Street with Bitcoin bets you don't actually believe in Bitcoin?

Just found it. That is hilarious that I never knew this was from a game!

I didn't know this song was in a game! I just liked the song.

So to be clear, someone who goes through all the time and effort of setting up multiple node instances costing themselves $1,500 a month just to keep up the illusion of a minority supported position is not signaling preference. They are simply LARPing unless they also engage a known spammer and adversarial actor in a wager? Did I get that right?

I guess I don't get those videos sent to me. Most people seem to be antagonistic to those stated "terrorists" (I think state agents are their own category of evil). Confronting, spitting, whistling, and otherwise putting a target on themselves. Maybe I should widen my "news" (another term with a poisonous subtext) to include the ones you see.

What like as you are going to the store or something?

I'm confused. Is how many nodes are running the software a good metric or not? You seem to be contradicting yourself here.

This always smacks of hearing "Don't touch that" You say "If I'm holding a stick that is touching it, does that mean I'm touching it?" God says "Yes" You say "but I'm touching the ground and the ground is touching the object. Does that mean I'm touching it?" God says "No" You say "if I'm holding the ground underneath the object, does that mean I'm touching it?" God says "Yes" Stop trying to find the limits when you know that they are in your heart already. When you do something and you feel like you're getting away with it, that's when you should know you're crossing the line.

It is not back tothe way it was before version 29. You can now have multiple outputs, meaning even though the maximum bite size is 83, you can have multiple OP_RETURN outputs. They also uncapped the number of OP_RETURN outputs per transaction.

Michael malice has been saying "AWFL" for years now.

Isn't it too cold for this kind of shit? I get why ICE is there. You know, because of the cold. 😅

Also, they are putting their money on the line by running a node and using that as the source of truth for their Bitcoin transactions.

And I am telling you money≠action. Human action is the only thing that tells you what someone values. They are running nodes with specific software. That action is telling you their intention and their preference. All a one Bitcoin bet means is that I have enough Bitcoin that I can frivolously take a stupid wager with another person. That doesn't tell you anything about my preference. Maybe reread some Austrian economics.

Speculation by not knowing the future is not gambling. Not knowing whether or not I will be alive at the end of the week is not the same as taking out a three Bitcoin bet that I will survive till the end of the week. One of those things has a perverse incentive. Your misapplication of logic is weak.
