Last Notes npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost For some reason I either completely misinterpreted your note or replied to the wrong one. Can't for the life ofe think why I was replying about nodes. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I don't think it's about network share. Those are empty numbers that can be manipulated. It's about economically relevant nodes that originate high volumes of transactions (e.g. exchanges, swap services, etc...). If none of those entites are signaling BIP-110, the miners can't be bothered to care. After user activation, BIP-110 will immediately drop in hash rate and transactions will take hours or days to confirm at a safe depth. It will die so fast, and so many of these amatuer outrage-addicts are going to be even more confused and angry than they already are. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Take screenshots, keep the receipts. You have an asymmetric bet that could turn into a dunking opportunity. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No that he was a Pokemon cartoon fan and adopted the moniker from the main character (in Japanese). This plays into his backstory as an awkward autistic kid who dressed up as a ninja in public. His sister did a whole testimony fleshing out this story. Its. A. Whole. Deal. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I learned that from Craig Wright (unfortunately). He worked that fact into his lore. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Oh yes, I have Zeus. I can't get enough consistency getting my payments routed through purchased liquidity, and I've experienced too much instability in the app. The delivery is getting a little sloppy imo. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I guess to answer your "Why not" question, I suppose it's because the rest of the options appear to be less private than Phoenix, although I'm aware there are tradeoffs in there as well. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Such as? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Am I being a bitch when I say I am annoyed by Phoenix Wallet fees? Like, okay, 75 sats isn't the end of the world but, come ON, this is the best they can do? Jesus, whenever I make that much in routing fees or nostr shit posts, I'm like "Really? I kinda didn't do anything." npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Everyone knows this is a bluff and the only people who would do this are complete retards. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Are they SSD or spinning platter? Spinning platter over USB is going to take a very long time to sync. I experimented with an external USB 3.0 SuperSpeed spinning platter external hard drive and a raspberry pi 4, and it took a month to sync the chain. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost If it is their expectation that we're all just gonna pretend BIP-110 never happened after it fails, they are sorely mistaken. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Ask Trace Mayer or Roger Ver npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Oh calm down and get offline. You guys already sound like a suicide cult. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin Core doesnt gauge its success by raw user adoption. Pleb nodes don't matter. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost https://river.com/learn/terms/a/assume-valid/ npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Um, the reason the backend of the chain takes significantly longer is because "assume utxo valid" no longer applies past a certain block height. Your node only fully validates the very recent chain history. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Sir this is a Wendy's #nevent1q…n2df npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Meh it was to be expected. The problem with "bitcoin" the culture is that they spend so much time dreamboarding about bitcoin's success that they forget what on-the-ground progress actually looks like. It's easy to fool ideologues. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Kinda weird how Ron Paul and all his circle of influencers appeared on Iranian state PressTV, innit? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Yeah, if the transaction is replayed on the fork chain, and the transaction signs for a utxo that doesnt exist over there, it's an invalid transaction. But honestly, splitting coins for BIP-110 is a pretty stupid thing to do, since it likely won't even have a spot market before the miners abandon the effort. Lot of room for error with very little chance of reward. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost You can mix a post-fork utxo into your BTC move transaction and the fork coins will not replay the tx, bc the utxo only exists on the BTC side. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Inside getting expensive too with this heat. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Can someone explain to me why a soft fork is worth making inscriptions 1% more expensive. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost They're just going to blame everyone else for their failure, call them enemies of bitcoin and pedophiles; like they always do. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Hey @nprofile…fele, we are up to 20 square vendors now accepting bitcoin. Measurable progress for spending bitcoin. How many did you onboard to BTCPayServer? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Hosting e-commerce with bitcoin is actually so hard and expensive, it's stupid. "Just integrate BTCPayServer with Shopify!" Shopify: $40/month minimum. Customization of the template adds greater upfront cost. BTCPayServer: Requires bitcoin full node, a lightning node, an NBXplorer indexer, and a place to host. Most people just lease a lightning node in the cloud, like with LunaNode, which is like an $20 a month and you STILL have to manage channels and liquidity. This is insane. Why the fuck is it like this. It's like we've been making internet native currency work like shit. On the internet. As currency. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost On-chain enjoyooors: Let's make bitcoin simple and accessible to everyone by giving them a static on-chain address Day 1 on nostr! Same people: #nevent1q…glwj npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Today I learned that satoshi was just as bad as getting people to run nodes as I am. #nevent1q…4m4p npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bro it's cat meat. Therefore the argument is irrelevant. Doyyy! npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This is where I stopped reading X last night, and it only took 5 minutes of scrolling. I should thank Arthur for being so absurd. https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/3b68e3262775c4ad90291a1c5d4c42f2a8f44f80919cc6cc282278c98defbbc0.jpg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost That would be just as crazy as assuming good faith in everyone, including people you disagree with. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I run a Core 29 full node that services a 5 year old lightning node with dozens of peers and non-insignificant liquidity. Maybe top 100 nodes. Also I administrate your mom's Core v30 node since I owe her a favor. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost That's just the market allocating capital to where it's needed most! I'm surprised all the LARPertarian claptrap on nostr hasn't gotten throught to you yet 🤪. Have you not yet guzzled the requisite 900 hours of indoctrination it apparently takes to be a Bitcoiner? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I can't believe after an hour with AI, I understand nftables/iptables, NAT, conntrack, and IP masquerading on a level I never thought I would. O'Reilly must be shitting their pants over how much better AI is at explaining technology than they are. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost You guys love huffing your own farts. It's like bitcoin the software is incidental or ancillary to this ridiculous, teetering stack of philosophy you've constructed. You'd rather LARP in some fantasy world where bitcoin has already won. None of that stuff is going to matter at scale. And now we are moving into the "at scale" phase where, to be a "bitcoiner", it's untenable to suggest you devote hundreds of hours of self-radicalization. A bitcoiner is someone who owns and uses bitcoin. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost We love our BIP-110'ers, don't we? So excitable. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Wow, doesnt this sound like a lovely afternoon? What else were you going to do with your precious time that isn't as important as sperging out about shit that has absolutely nothing to do with using bitcoin to buy things, which is its primary purpose. #nevent1q…verg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Nah it's just software npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Oh this basically IS inscriptions. It just wraps the inscription in a different script envelope npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Finally we can add the Ordinals project to the BIP-110-ready list. https://v0-bitcoin-companies-table.vercel.app/ npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost LOLOLOL https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/dc5b91a70bb74501e5371596152bf1ba201409ef83239dd50707d47411f78489.jpg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Here's the sort of nonsense I'm talking about https://x.com/AdamBLiv/status/2072538204343873832 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost My complaint is that the LARPertarians have convinced you that "bitcoining" is hard, because it necessarily involves converting the masses to an entire liturgy of libertarian self-radicalization talking points that have nothing to do with bitcoin. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The apotheosis of Bitcoin self-radicalization is speaking in broad civilizational terms with the assurance of victory over evil, as if it were a covenant from God. It's just software, people. #nevent1q…5wmq npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost LARPertarians, cone on! You're getting smoked by the people who say that "bitcoining" is just owning and using bitcoin! It can't be that simple! Don't they understand they have to do 900 requisite hours of self-radicalization? Do they not listen to podcasts!? Do they not world-build around extremely boring and heterodox economic theories? #nevent1q…k2wq npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Never heard of it https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/642fdc722e7a079a97d5bdb1221e9bbb38188ec6effe2a725eee81fecf7e91b3.gif npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost In case it was obvious, you don't. If you want a good test of whether an idea makes you a bitcoiner, try to spend the fucking idea and report back to me. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost In a game where people have to signal to win, not telegraphing your move is literally the dumbest move. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Why yes, I have. And 99.3% of the work is being done in service of not-BIP-110. https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/2543e79eb2f6d282b17bf00d9e63d1cf4fbb863d7ad38f2e13e534a6cd3c1aac.jpg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This tweet is making the rounds, and it's absolutely infuriating me. Listen very closely: the only thing that makes it hard to be a "bitcoiner" is your own retarded LARPatarian notions that you have to make more LARPatarians instead of more bitcoiners. That's it. You are playing this shit on hard mode unnecessarily. All those people who turned on bitcoin on their Square point of sale systems? Those are bitcoiners, and they didn't have to read a single fucking page of Human Action or listen to a single minute of Jeff Booth droning ON AND ON about deflation. Stop punching yourself in the face! https://x.com/AdamBLiv/status/2072538204343873832 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I truly believe that belief about what bitcoin is doesn't create the reality of what bitcoin is. The only thing that creates bitcoin reality is putting ypur money where your mouth is. And all I see on the BIP-110 side is a lot of mouth and very little money. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Is Shinobi wrong? How do YOU think the scenario will play out? Because what he's proposing will happen sounds entirely within reason. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I have met people who know better, and just decide to LARP in a world where they don't. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The one thing that creeps me out about AI is not even about AI -- it's how some people are so desperate to escape lonliness that they will deep LARP a relationship with AI. They will wish it good morning and thank it for its service and have private, personal conversations with it. It makes me wonder how real people like that think I am. It makes me wonder if they are just some sad, impotent variety of psychopath. #nevent1q…ks9p npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost As in all things with bitcoin, gathering and projecting cheap opinions without bringing economic weight is futile. They can spin up all the Little Nodes that Could they like, but if they don't clearly present support from major transaction oroginators or miners, it's just a bunch of wasted time and energy. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I think it's mostly non-technologists wishing on a star that the laziest interpretation of how a UASF works will somehow come true. Bitcoin consensus being as easy to change as activating a yammering pack of hyenas has two possible explanations: 1) It can't, and they're all actually just as dumb as a bag of hair 2) It can, and bitcoin has a much wider, retarded attack surface than anyone, in 17 years of Bitcoin discourse, ever thought. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost What I love most about the BIP-110 drama is how willing people are to stake their reputations on it. There WILL come a time where all the confident saber-rattling will end on one side or another, and the opposite side will happily supply the screenshot and nevent receipts. You typically only get one Bitcoin reputation. Use it wisely. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that shitcoin. Has it been around very long? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Terrible people: Nostr can't improve until there's something other than Bitcoin to talk about!

Like what's the history here. Who are the players. Why does it seem like there are in-crowd devs and out-group devs and what, if any, are the philosophical differences that led to that schism. What are the major software projects that help color in the picture better. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Took 25 hours #nevent1q…h2yk npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost That doesnt tell me any more than has already been said. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I will pay someone 2000 sats to explain just what the hell is going on here. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No you sit right down in the future where you own nothing and like it. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Correction: Bitcoiners are LARPing living in the future, and Jeff Booth mistakes it for actual living. #nevent1q…ppml npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost You shouldn't talk about Bitcoin Nostr like that npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Mehhh I mean @nprofile…gyzc comes from a highly abstract view of what bitcoin is. I'd like some more context to this clip to understand what Gloria didn't know very much about -- if it's the case she just didn't give a fuck about fringe heterodox economic theories, that's a lot different than not knowing how the software works. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/a2e65d1a43121b6326427ace4b296eb8d9ca15a9ae3910964a6e239d1540c3fa.jpg #nevent1q…jcs2 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Can anyone explain to me why BCHNostr seems to be concentrated largely in the Philippines?

That makes sense since Roger Ver is a giant LBH. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost "Bitcoiners and shitcoiners are natural enemies. Like Bitcoiners and bankers. And bitcoiners and suitcoiners. And bitcoiners and other bitcoiners. DAMN BITCOINERS THEY RUINED BITCOIN" npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Maybe shitcoiners are what we've been missing all along. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Weed. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This likely has more to do with the Pelosi political machine activating their street teams than it does the juice. #nevent1q…wt4f npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost On the ground, I don't get the impression at all that the % of non-node-runners who even know about bip-110 (much less those that have an opinion) track with the % of node runners that have taken a position. This is a much different environment than 2017. Back then, huge overlap between purchasers and enthusiasts and node runners. Purchasers are now overwhelmingly casuals who barely even understand that bitcoin isn't just a "stonk". Most of them aren't on Twitter, so have no clue what BIP-110 is. Hell, zoom in to the local meetups. Most of them are dumb as a bag of hair. Maybe in a room of 20, two of them might run a node, maybe one of them even cares about BIP-110, and they tend to be the non-influencing hardliner that people secretly hope would just stay home. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Yeah, but why would miners conflate 20% of node runners with 20% of their total addressable market? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost If I'm reading what you are saying correctly, you think that miners will be incentivized by where the purchasing power on the exchanges goes. But where are you getting the 20%? Barely 20% of our little retarded corner of the internet even knows about the fork, and we are a drop in the bucket of total exchange volume. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The fact that miners don't think there is significant economic activity nor value locked up in BIP-110 should be apparent by the extremely low hashrate. The fork activation isn't the signal that miners are waiting for -- it's a deadline. If you hit the UASF fork block with no hash rate, you will know the effort has failed and the wind-down of the remaining holdout minority miners and nodes will only last a few days. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The miners only care about the nodes that originate significant economic volume and value. Some shitty repurposed laptop or NUC in someone's basement has no bearing and poses no threat. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm not reading all that. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost It will be dead in less than 3 days. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Its not becoming popular, and even if it was becoming popular, that's not how any of this works. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Given that this is game theory and computer science, it's a wonderful way to salvage some educational moments, so you guys don't www waste everyone's time with an u popular UASF again. It's polluted Bitcoin Twitter such that it actually makes nostr look like a nice, sane place to visit in comparison. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Number of nodes don't matter if they don't carry economic weight. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost What led you to assume that wasn't an earnest question? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Seems like if the current hash rate 6 weeks from user activation is this low, it will pretty quickly die. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Hey BIP-110 discussion addicts: I have a question about user activation. How the the dofficulty for the fork be re-calculated? Will it somehow only adjust according to the emission rate of "valid" BIP-110 blocks in the last 2016 blocks? Or will it hit the ground running with the se difficulty rate as Core? Won't that matter? If BIP-110 difficulty is that of Core on the fork activation, and BIP-110 has very low hash rate (currently way less than 1%) doesnt tha mean block time will be hours? Doesnt that mean transactions would take like a day or more to safely confirm? Doesnt that mean the next difficulty adjustment might take years? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Today I fixed my clightning remote replication issue and killed a wasp and took a nap and just woke up and its 3pm. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost If only you knew how bad things really were. https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/22f23a36e167e864d32442b67058d9176fd027b735b9d5fdefab6b07679933a9.jpg
