but when is it going to become part of bitcoin core?
Precisely. Nobody (who understands how it works) ever claimed differently. However, each Ordinals transaction is a Bitcoin transaction. Counterparty works in a very similar way in that it requires a special explorer to view token balances.
yeah but if an alien race came down to earth and looked at raw blockchain they wouldn't know who owned what unless they could get a copy of casey's github code.
caseys project does not transfer proofs in blockchain data. no references transfer in hard data
if you dont have hard data proof of possession. you have no possession
this is a very valid point. what you are saying franky is something that no one else is but that doesn't make it any less true. it actually is true. whether that bothers nft people or not i guess that's up to them but i guess some of them doesn't even realize about this issue. i call it an issue but you can call it whatever you want to...
Let us assume that some unsavory character decided to mint a lot of illegal pictures through the ordinals and paid a premium fee to make their transactions go through as quick as possible.
why just pictures though? what if someone uploads instructions about how to make a bomb? there's all kind of bad things people could upload that are illegal. how about top secret classified documents of a government? none of that can be stopped though. and what's with the premium fee? they just pay the normal fee like everyone else. illegal stuff doesn't cost more to upload
That means most of node operators would end up having those illegal information in their SSD, right?
maybe.
would not that imply node operators could get arrested in their countries/state?
possibly. each country can make their own rules about this type of thing.
This idea rather turning into a good excuse for regulators and the enemies of Bitcoin to call for node banning...
Perhaps I am exaggerating, but knowing how politics works nowadays, I would not be surprised to see a proposal of Bill in the congress of the United States about Bitcoin node banning, claiming storage of unlawful material, as soon as more people of power start to get aware of this possibility.
well yeah i mean if ordinals got out of hand and alot of illegal stuff started appearing on it then yeah i mean the usa government might do something like that but i don't think bitcoin has really been attacked by people doing that yet. probably at some point it will be. but we don't know that for sure.
