You're a forum drama-queen. But what's the solution franky101? A hard fork the bigger blocks to "scale onchain" and end with us having an unscalable, bloated blockchain? Because that's always been your stance, and probably also the removal of the Core Developers as the stewards of the network. Your gaslighting might work on newbies, but it will never work on the forum-sisters. Hahaha.

Frankly (no pun intended) I don't understand why he even bothers... He's wrong on a technical level a decent deal of the time so its not like he's really "here to educate." He's here to derail topics and crack heads, specifically those of people who believe in milli-sats.


Gaslighting and disinformation. I could personally say that it truly works on plebs/newbies, because I was one of those plebs/newbies who thought that a hard fork to bigger blocks was the right solution to scale Bitcoin during the days of the scaling debate, thanks to franky101 and jonald_fyookball. They did a good job in convincing many many people that the "Evil Core Developers" were acting in their own self-interest by regulating the block size. But everyone already knows it was FUD, and ignorant comments. I don't know why people in the forum vote him every year as the "Anti-Hero". Hahaha.

The major difference between villain and antagonist (anti hero) is that a villain is a dark or wicked character who opposes the story's hero, whereas an anti-hero is a protagonist who lacks heroic characteristics.

I was going to make a replication to your last comment, but i learn you are TROLLING a high level. Its doesnt worth to waste energy in a answer to that last claim.

I hope nobody keep feeding this troll. DONT FEED THE TROLL.
You have nothing to say in essence and you decided to get personal? Cute. I have more Merits in 120 days than you. I don't hide my face and don't try to lick ass on a price watch thread. So shut up and go fuck yourself.

Permissionless freedom or bust.  I'm never budging on that, so either get used to sharing a blockchain with me or fork off.  Your call.   Tongue

So Bitcoin belongs to you to do whatever you want with it and its the end of discussion.
Bitcoin belongs to anyone who is willing to pay the market price for a transaction. But for some reason you demand special preferences for yourself, and it seems your best argument is that transactions used to be cheaper than they are now. That's funny.

the idiot brigade above have no clue they dont want the exploits fixed because they cant explain how to fix one.. all they think of is "forks" so thats all they want to mention(create new networks) as their possible option..

however exploits can be fixed without a fork.

forks (2 divided chains than sustain) happen when there is contention.. EG low acceptance rate of one side (no super majority)
doomad loves low acceptance rate he hates super majority. he loves contention. he things the only options is to fork networks where people have to create altcoins. where only core can control policy. where no one should ask core to do something for the community

however there can be a high consensus acceptance rate, without a secondary chain creation.
there can be rule changes that after block X witness area needs to be lean. with expected data that fits specifications..
there are many opcodes that can be changed. many limits many formats. its not just "put up with it or fork"

rules that expect formatting, expect actual signature proofs to belong in witness area is not censorship. its called efficient use of blockspace. people can still transact. but without having junk push their tx out of mempools.

all doomad cares about is the devs that patented a secondary network get to mess with bitcoin to push peoples transactions into such a premium and such a hassle that people give up using bitcoin to use the secondary network doomad prefers. because that secondary network (which has alot more bugs, flaws) is a network where middle men take a cut of the fee's people pay to use the middle men just to get them to accept their payments


the idiot brigade have pretended that bitcoin was always soft weak and open to abuse. yet if they dared even try to bloat a legacy transaction they would learn the hard way that bitcoin was not always like this.
if they even dared research outside of the spoonfed narrative they all recite and echo to each other like a cult. they would finally learn a thing or two about what actually happened, when it happened, how it was caused and how it can be fixed. but all they instead want to shout is "put up with it or f**k off to another network"

its the latest updates that became exploitable, not ones from decade ago. and they dont know this so wont admit this because all they have been told is stupid stories about how blocks have always been exploitable.. all becasue their silly puppet masters dont want them to know the real cause and dont want them to talk about how it was core devs cause.. not miners. how it should be core devs that take responsibility and fix their errors

core have become too centralised.. any dev thats not the "core" half dozen maintainers are treated as opposition if they even tried to fix the exploits. thats how centralised things have become. total elitist authoritarianism and yet the script puppets want to pretend its those that didnt code the exploits being called the authoritarians.. which is absolutely illogical narrative.

For the record, there are a ton of power users who fork codebases left and right, and I don't consider any of them as developers. Same if you don't actually know how to code and you use a Generative AI to write all of your code.

Now then, forking a huge codebase and applying a few dozen commits doesn't bring your power levels up to 9000, which would be the case if they had actually made 9000 useful commits (that actually accomplish something that users/other devs need), which is also not the case Roll Eyes

Calling them "developers" somewhat insults the rest of the developers in the programming community. What was the last time they made a big commitment? By opening up the repository I only see just a seemingly dumped Bitcoin Core fork. Didn't expect more to be honest.

When I used the term I was referencing people who decided to build on top of BSV (as dumb of a choice as that may have been, some have seen the err of their ways and reverted back to BTC or moved to other blockchains).

But be careful with the narrative debating that "it's not an attack", because Ordinals could be used as an attack that could hide itself behind Bitcoin's very ethos of permissionlessness and censorship-resistance.
I get that it can be annoying to pay the miner an extra dollar, but how exactly can it attack the principles of Bitcoin?

you two fools are both forum-sisters pretending to fight but just trying to distract from the real conversation. your shitty buzzwords pretending bitcoin shouldnt have rules is where you both fail. bitcoin only works due to rules.

the relaxation/removal and softening of rules is whats causing the problem. devs caused that.
asics do not program the bitcoin network. nor do asics choose the transactions. nor do asics choose the fee's so just stop with the "miner to blame" stuff.. its not logical

so you not realise your about 12 years out of date of blaming solo miners..

you want to pretend its user error or miner fault. but its not. its devs that created an exploit which is causing this nonsense useless bloat

bitcoin was invented WITH STRICT RULES.
every byte had a purpose and a validycheck rule for its utility.. over time those rules have been removed, relaxed , softened

your forum wife is the ultimate idiot feeding you both stupid narratives to social drama over to deflect from the real cause. and you both foolishly just follow his scripts like idiots.

bitcoins rules have been relaxed which is bad. grow up realise it and care more about bitcoin and less about kissing dev ass.. devs come and go so defending a dev while promoting the breaking of bitcoin rules is not a good trait. but heck you both are not bitcoiners you both love other networks. so i dont see you actually caring any time soon about the future of bitcoin. as long as you both continue hoping to recruit people over to your other prefered systems.

it is funny how 6 years ago your clan said that rejecting blocks was not censorship (mandatory segwit flagging)
it is funny how 6 years ago your clan said that excess transactions without meme/json bloat was an attack..

but now you are saying the opposite. you dont want blocks rejected for X. and you think spam of junk memes/json meaningless data is not an attack

the only time you pretend its meaningless data is when you see you fanbase move away from kissing your ass so you have to change your narrative to recruit people back..

you both cant even pick a narrative and stick with it. you just both follow whatever script was spoonfed to you.

Yeah but its not though.

Its literally just a bunch of degens who are using Bitcoin blockspace for their latest round of Ponzi hot potato passing. Once they grow bored of it, and they will, they'll simply move on to the next thing and fees will go back to normal (or at least substantially lower). I have heard the conspiracy theory that BSV people are behind it, and there are indeed developers from there working on ordinals and BRC20 stuff, but that's simply because its more profitable to work on BTC than BSV.


I never said anything is/was an "attack", I merely said that Ordinals "could be" used to attack the network. Because from a technical and practical standpoint in any software application - the more features it has, the more attack vectors it will also have. It's a fact.

In other words, complete non-sense.

I agree with your point, OP.
This Ordinals BS being portrayed as some kind of attack over the Bitcoin Core blockchain is something that annoys me.
It's not an attack. It's just a bunch of NFT holders, who don't care about congesting the blockchain with transactions and paying higher transaction fees. I'm not blockchain developer or expert, but my proposal is to impose a high minimum fee for the Ordinals transactions.
Let's see if those NFT holders will be so happy to pay 100-200 or 300 USD fee per transaction and keep congesting the blockchain. Grin


But be careful with the narrative debating that "it's not an attack", because Ordinals could be used as an attack that could hide itself behind Bitcoin's very ethos of permissionlessness and censorship-resistance. The fact that developers are willing to build inefficient apps on the Bitcoin blockchain that doesn't solve anything, or doesn't push the network technologically forward, should tell us that these "improvements" are laughable from a development perspective.

I just want to say... "There is a fine line between protecting the network AND censoring transactions."

I do not own any of these shit tokens and I will also not defend something that are causing congestion on the network, but I will lift my hand and try to highlight the fact that caution must be taken that filtering measures should not be applied, if the transactions are not deliberate to attack the network.

Bitcoin are not like some Alt coins, where they "authorize" ..what transactions are legit and which needs to be filtered or blocked.  Roll Eyes

I get the distinct impression that some people don't even realise that asking for censorship would make Bitcoin weaker.  Not stronger.  Once that line is crossed, it sets a dangerous precedent.  If you help pave the way to censor others, they may later find it easier to censor you.  Be very careful what you wish for.  

This is basically the bottom line that many people don't get. First for example it's censoring BRC20's, next up it can be wills, testaments and other important data inscribed onto the blockchain. Notably no-one complained when data was ever previously inscribed onto the blockchain, instead it was celebrated as being creative/diverse use of the Bitcoin network, it was only when the fees increased people started complaining and calling it spam. It seems hypocritical when back in 2017 during the equally high fees period (if not higher), people were instead sensibly talking about the need for L2 solutions and adoption, not censorship.

But we're not talking about art. From a REAL developer's point of view, anything they build should be finding a better, more efficient solution in doing things, and BRC-20 "fungible" tokens, which truly are NOT fungible, are definitely NOT a better solution than what's currently available. Why are those developers forcing themselves to build their apps on something unreliable? What's their incentive?

I have no exact information about the intentions of the developers. However, it is highly likely that the desire to make money on the wave of hype with meme-tokens plays an important role. I don't really follow this shit, but I think there was a big story recently about a guy who bought Pepe's green frog tokens for $250 and soon made $8 million from it. Or something like that. In such conditions, development speed is much more important than quality, because it is important to catch the right moment.


Development speed" = merely riding the hype-wave while there are newbies and plebs who are willing to buy into their Ponzi?

Because scripting in Bitcoin is limited, and from a long term perspective, their "development" of "not-fungible tokens marketed as fungible" made through Ordinal inscriptions is already dead.

Quote

This is the case when it is better to make a mistake at the right time than to do the right thing at the wrong time.


Like scammers?

 Cool


It was a surprise to me to learn that the Pepe green frog meme has a huge community of several million people who, for all their heterogeneity, are united by a strange kind of irrational love for the image of the green frog.

What if a significant proportion of these people are not willing to resell their token to earn a few dollars, but simply want to own the digital rights in the largest and most secure decentralized network to their copy of the green frog image, as a sign of belonging to this strange meme subculture?

I would refrain from calling them all scammers, they honestly paid the market price for their part of the deal and got what they wanted. Are those who gave them such an opportunity scammers? Without hard evidence, this sounds like a false accusation. And even if they really are scammers, so what? Is bitcoin no longer a trustless system? Does bitcoin need to start giving moral judgments to the content of the transaction in order to continue to work normally?


I'm not debating if something like the Pepe is a scam. I'm debating if the developers of BRC-20, because as I understood you said they are merely riding the hype-wave, are acting like scammers.

Because from a developers viewpoint it wouldn't be rational to build something that wouldn't be making it more efficient/better. Let's be frank, what they're developing won't make trading tokens better. In fact, they're making it more inefficient and more expensive. If the incentive is just "profit now", then they're like scammers? Cool

doomad pretends to be anti-censorship but is always telling people to not do research. not talk. and disapear. he wants peoples posts deleted and people banned.
oh he also doesnt want people transacting below certain value and wants the blockchain pruned


how about actually think about real fixes EG each byte have true meaning and reason for being in a transaction. where each byte is counted and actually checked for validity. non of this cludgy bypass crap

but no idiots like doomad want to soften the rules, make nodes not validate all transactions and prune them off just as quickly so that the blockchain is a cluster-f**k of data that is not complete or correct in all full nodes

all because he wants bitcoin to get ruined from many points of attack, lack of utility and expense.. all so he can advertise his other networks he adores so much he prefers people to use instead

Or to take that line of reasoning a step further, there are clearly some who feel that the very suggestion of implementing censorship is an attempt to (perhaps unwittingly) attack the fundamental nature of the Bitcoin network.

I get the distinct impression that some people don't even realise that asking for censorship would make Bitcoin weaker.  Not stronger.  Once that line is crossed, it sets a dangerous precedent.  If you help pave the way to censor others, they may later find it easier to censor you.  Be very careful what you wish for.
