GM nostriches, loving a bit of Tuesday morning @npub159xc...g2g6 and @jimmysong , helping me make a few connections, but please correct me if I’m wrong, but……. If the op_return limit has been increased to 100k, this adds additional data to a block, which admittedly can be pruned later, BUT this extra data will likely slow block propagation, particularly if a number of nodes aren’t running v30. As Jimmy says, even a 6 second delay is a 1% reduction in mining uptime, surely transmitting v30 blocks will reduce miner efficiency. We’re always told miners are economic actors and will be making decisions based on this, even if fees for op_returns are significant. 1% of the block reward is equivalent to 3.1million sats! The passing comment that miners should use knots wasn’t given a lot of time, but was telling, meaning only blocks without increased op_return limits would get added, irrespective of what economic nodes are running.

Hey @Lawrence Lepard , opened a backed of @Bitcoin Trading Cards , “bit block boom” today and saw a familiar face. Very cool indeed.

Ga nostriches, they never come out quite a short and succinct as I’d planned, but at least I’ve attempted to back things up where I can. Given we’ve moved into the budget danger zone of everything being the eternal Schroedinger’s cat (simultaneously on and out of the budget), thought it was worth putting some ideas out there. It isn’t about the wealth anymore, it is not knowing what could come next and there are people cheering for it and they haven’t considered the consequences. A country that Villainises the wealthy and breeches property rights isn’t a place you want to be.

But surely, we can just tax the billionaires!

it is an awful trap wrapped up in good intentions and not critical thinking

Great rip Joey 💯 on the money or to be more specific, where tax dollars are going!!!!

Cheers @Implausible Deniability , so ms reeves is thinking of putting up a 20% barrier/hurdle for the wealthy and productive wanting to leave a country looking to take 50% plus of their earnings every year, and quash them with regulations and expensive energy for a measly £2bn a year………… When they’ve borrowed £66bn in the first 6 months of the year. Oh my, they’re putting this shit out there, but it is miles away from actually being able to solve anything, so hat tip @Lyn Alden, “nothing stops this train”, and while my house or my pension remain more than or equal to 20% of my assets, we’re all good, and I won’t be looking over my shoulder on the way out. They’re just assets tied up in the system, ballast to be jettisoned.

So next week, bull shitting in chief, Mr “grow your tits” Polanski will be on the progressively lift wing, and let’s be honest, less funny, “the last leg” next week. Will be interesting to see what he has to sell. Will likely keep my mouth shut as there may be a fan of his in the house…….. yes he’s very eloquent, not surprising when he’s a trained actor.

Gm nostriches, dark times in the uk at the moment, sure the government will be looking to put in place id and metal detector barriers in railway stations from now on. Never let a good emergency go to waste. Deep breath, #coffeechain no. 2 looking very likely.

Absolutely love these guys @HODL @Erik Cason @Marty Bent @Danny Knowles , the gulags will be full, either due to the commies (progressives) or the fascists (who are likely not actually real fascists, just people the progressives don’t like, and they question what the words they were told to say actually meant). And we get back to the shawshank redemption @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M I’ll be with these guys, questioning everything they say, realising neither side has it right, both sides are promising free shit paid for by inflation, supporting, but not necessarily joining any”orange party”, but saving in hard money, defunding the federal reserve (or central bank of choice), interacting with people I like, who add value to my life and exchanging my hard currency with them for goods and services. I won’t be drawn into this political bum fight, race to the bottom, as which ever way they take it, it gets damn ugly. What I will say when communism is being presented as “democratic socialism”, the ussr was a socialist republic, and they killed more of “their own” than both world wars combined. I’ll also ask, if you’re living in this socialist utopia, lying in bed, taxing the rich, producing no CO2 (because you loves the greens), who picks up the bills, who grows the food, who pays for the free shit they promise. Yeah, starting with taxing the billionaires seemed ok, but they already pay their fair share, so once they’re bled, the greedy little eyes will move to the millionaires (which doesn’t mean what it once did), and after them, anyone with ANYTHING!!! Oh yeah buddy, it ain’t free and never was, the bills always come due, you brain washed cuck!
