On top of this, I do not think it is unreasonable to point out that there are people involved in making this decision who will benefit from being able to store large amounts of data in op_return. And I think there's a non trivial number of users who do not want that to happen. And these users include cypherpunks, people who are current and past contributors to core. it is not cut and dry.
I don't think the community is done discussing this by any means. And I think rushing something like this on any level will increase the chance for forks and even forks between reference implementations will have implications that could be unexpected. that are possibly even negative

I appreciate you taking the time to write these answers and I actually understand the points that you're making already. I think we diverge fundamentally at an earlier point.
In some ways I feel like this argument is like sort of a harm reduction argument. And I think harm reduction is a good idea for drug addicts for example, but we wouldn't mail everyone in the world a pack of needles and some clean heroin just in case so they would have safe things to use if they ever decided to.
In some ways, this seems like the windows registry to me. I think part of the idea there was let's have a sanctioned place for developers to put their configuration data. Well, that kind of thing can grow into something unexpected and that's what I'm worried about as we continue to open the doors to data storage on the Bitcoin blockchain.
I would much rather see us work to find ways to make storing (large) data on the blockchain in any of the three places harder to do.

Isn't one of the possible recommendations to remove the limit completely on op_return? And if so, would that not allow basically limitless data to enter into the Mempools and be written to the unprunrd blockchain.
I understand that spammers are using the witness area now, and that that is worse, and part of the idea here would be using OR as it was intended. But it doesn't justify either usage, in my opinion.

2025-05-05 13:18:15 GMT

- reply

Remove all limits from op_return is on the table. I not see how that would not have tradeoffs. One of which would be potentially exploding the size of the unpruned blockchain, right?

2025-05-05 12:43:44 GMT

- reply

I said was I good reason for debate. Not a good reason for potentially allowing unrestricted data in OP_RETURN.
I, and many others am not convinced by the arguments FOR that change yet.
Is all tradeoffs. For example I am also not entirely convinced that this rush to Knots is a good idea either.

I think it's very important for us to be honest and clear about these kinds of things.
As far as I can tell, this "test" is at best moot and at worst quite deceptive.
He is using the view key to see things that are available by design for the sender.
This is actually a feature, not a bug nor a weakness. So I don't know if the person is being disingenuous or just ignorant, but it's one of those in this case.
Also, in my opinion, the argument between these two camps is stupid and childish.

And I gave him a hundred merits for it.
There really is no other way for it to scale to the masses.
I really do respect your show and your take on things. And I am one of those Bitcoiners who also believes Monero is still important for example.
And scaling isn't the only issue. Also just the complexity of self custody of wealth safely and without making terrible errors is a huge deal.
In the end, I think we will see some "bitcoin banks" that really are rug pulls waiting to happen, but others that are designed in ways that make trade-offs that are worth the benefits.
For example, There are new wallets emerging that use combinations of on-chain, liquid, and lightning transactions along with trustless swaps to do amazing things while retaining ownership of your keys and keeping trust distributed.
See #aqua and #mistybreez.
I think we will also eventually see e-cash solutions developed that can fit into these types of methods as well. Although currently, the active solutions being developed are single trust point abominations, in my opinion.

2025-04-26 13:01:33 GMT

- reply

While lightning retains much of the Bitcoin base layer's tradeoffs and security, Ecash changes much of them and quite profoundly.
Here is just one example. E-cash transactions are not finalized until the token is redeemed. So you can send someone E-cash, but until they redeem it, you still have control. Because of this unclaimed tokens can be clawed back by the issuer.
So transaction finality has been seriously changed under this scheme.
This could be very useful for example in a store that wants to issue promotional value (like coupons or scrip) but not be responsible for the value of unspent ecash. Or, a family member could gift someone bitcoin using this method and then if that person loses or doesn't ever redeem their bitcoin, the family member can claw back their value rather than just having lost it.
But this also means that the mint has more control and is a centralized system that must be trusted. particularly in the case of cashu in which mints are single issuers and must be trusted explicitly.
I am quite concerned that the Bitcoin community in general is treating this like some Bitcoin analog. Almost as if it is a one-for-one scaling method, and it is not.
We need to carefully consider the trade-offs and see what advantages they give senders, receivers and issuers, and then what disadvantages also are implied by these changes.
I am personally avoiding using it for anything significant whatsoever until the effects and downstream and attack surface of these trade-offs has been more deeply probed and defined.
Good luck.

The revolution is we don't HAVE to trust third parties not that trust is always bad.
Bitcoin enables you to minimize trust to the extreme, but also add it back in to the extent that the trade-off helps you and is appropriate under the circumstances.

#asknostr
I've been curious all my life. Why do so many (western or non Asian) people use chopsticks to eat Asian food?
It is a vibe thing? Is it an authenticity thing? Tradition? Trying to experience or honor culture? A fun dexterity challenge, perhaps? Or maybe learning new things?
I mean, there are certainly many arguments for doing it. It might cause you to eat in a more sensible way compared to the little pronged shovels that we Westerners tend to use. But I don't think that's why.
And if you really like it, then why don't you eat your spaghetti with that too? It really just is tomato sauce in lo mein after all, right?

Ah, I think I understand what you're saying, but I disagree with you very strongly. It is not a black and white issue.
I currently trust the base chain of Bitcoin for almost the entirety of my holdings, which is more than I have in any other single asset.
I would trust the liquid network somewhat more than something like PayPal because the federated model protects me against rug pulls and I would store an amount of money on liquid similar to what I am comfortable with on PayPal or CashApp.
And I would trust Cashu as much I would trust putting my money in someone elses pocket and spending an IOU that they promise to pay upon receipt.
There is a huge difference in those three security models, in my opinion.
As to Fedament, I remember seeing you kind of brag that they were an abandoned project not too long ago. I would be willing to use a federated e-cash system way before single issuers. That's for sure.

2025-04-08 14:03:53 GMT

- reply

If I understand you correctly... this is just terribly wrong.
Yes the Bitcoin blockchain provides security, but you lose that entirely when you trust someone else by taking an IOU issued by a single point of failure/rugging.
So it is really only providing that security for the issuer. So you MUST TRUST the issuer.

2025-04-08 13:57:03 GMT

- reply

This is only true if you think in black and white. Liquid for example (this is who you mean, right?) is a federated model and therefore a security model with trust distributed across multiple signers. It inherits much of the security and trust model of the base chain.
Cashu, however is a single point of custody. Not only that, but the issuer can melt (or claw back) the value of issued tokens at any time. They can also just close their lightning channels and mint and steal all the value. So, though it gains fantastic privacy, this implimentation completely tosses out censorship resistance, and requires complete trust in the mint.
Doing this in Liquid would be difficult and would require collusion amongst several signers.
I strive NOT to think is black and white paradigms. So I CAN see value in both of these "bitcoin bank" (see an early post on the BCT forms from Hal Finney on this topic) implementations, and am all in favor of their development.
But the claim made above is entirely false and possibly dishonest.

But at this moment bitcoin's most compelling use for many is as a primary store of value or a hedge against uncertainty (which arguably is at a peak currently).
People who live in countries with relatively stable currencies (an illusion possibly fading as we chat) do not yet see the value in using bitcoin transactionally. But those in countries that have weak currencies ARE using it that way now.
But people have to HAVE bitcoin before they can spend it.
My biggest discomfort around all this is the concentration of bitcoin in the hands of custodians and of course then possible rehypothication.
But I also believe that will end very badly for those who try it as it always has.
But is the first rain users stack bitcoin is for the "digital gold " use case I think that is both a very legitimate use will as a good introduction for people to realize what it is beyond that.
