Well done nostr:nprofile1qqszq6eh3h2gyyjc0647hhrykqzsnvd0gyhcgkd5s60lp6wp0usqpmcpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetpwd5kv7fwv3jj7qgnwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxtcpr4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnfw35x2ctkv4hzuum0vd5kzmp0agh2u8

Excellent video.

Not really. This guy’s a classic example of the bell curve meme. Currently in the middle of the curve. It seems he’s pretty new to the debate and has much to uncover. Hopefully he ends up at the right side of the curve eventually.

Midwit bell curve guy reporting for duty. It’s actually pretty funny how he’s right in the middle of the curve after being in the left part a just a short while ago. Don’t bother watching the whole thing, maybe just the first 8-10 minutes for the lols. nostr:nevent1qqszfgrzvwe6qd597ejm7rl85hrw5y7yexkesle00dk3a8mtsm9vmvcprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv8g6nw6n3cyf

I’ve already upgraded to Bitcoin Core 30, but I’ve set the OP_RETURN limit to 80 byte I agree — choosing the more expensive option makes little sense if spammers are going to abuse it anyway. Better to keep the chain clean. ⚡

He's approaching it rationally with an open mind, which is better than 90% of the people debating it. You've just said he's wrong without making any arguments, which is what the 90% is doing.

I could go into detail about every aspect he got wrong — I’ve been doing that since 2023, and it’s honestly getting tiresome. I also helped put together this site to give proper context for anyone genuinely interested. Feel free to dig through it, but don’t assume the rest of us haven’t done our homework (this is exactly how the Core side operates). This conflict’s been simmering for over two years, and only in the last six months has it started catching mainstream attention. The short version: Core is compromised. They’ve been screwing with our money long before Core 30. About 95% of their so-called “technical” arguments have been thoroughly rebutted or explained with context — and they consistently turn out to be gaslighting, lies by omission, or plain concern trolling. https://wtfhappenedinfeb2023.com

Well though opinion. Appreciate the author who spent time and energy to have this understood. Proof of work. Run a node. Choose implementation you like, set it up you like. We are all Bitcoin

This is overall not bad, imo. My main criticisms to nostr:nprofile1qqszq6eh3h2gyyjc0647hhrykqzsnvd0gyhcgkd5s60lp6wp0usqpmcpzamhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuervwdhh27np9ekx7mq3x3s2u would be: 1) it propagates without nuances the "experts vs demagogues" false framing, which is mostly made up (the "Knots side" includes experienced developers like Luke or SuperTestnet, who are way more technical than some influencers on the "Core side" like Shinobi or Lopp, who are more skilled at popularization and mass communication, letting alone that Dunning-Kruger doesn't just apply to computer science illiteracy, but also to economic, social and legal illiteracy, which also abunds on both sides), 2) it completely misrepresents Citrea's involvement, depicting a bunch of literal shitcoin scammers as "legit", and claiming they "need" that specific encoding method (which they actually adapted just out of laziness and lack of care), and they are "hoping to move to less harmful methods", which they publicly stated they aren't even considering at the moment, 3) it omits a lot of nasty triggers by some influential people on the "Core side", which are imo at the root of the current division and drama: the "it isn't spam if it's valid or pays fees" nonsense, the "mempool policy are censorship" nonsense, the "spam filtering in Core never existed" nonsense, the vitriolic and obsessive witch hunt against important and good projects for Bitcoin like OCEAN and Start9, the gross mismanagement of the github repo, the fixation on mempool changes as a way to show dominance and regulate personal beefs, etc. For the rest, pretty good. I agree with the overall takeaways: - search for the truth instead of parroting the slogans of your tribe - mine on OCEAN and DATUM (and maybe tomorrow SV2) - run your node with your own mempool policies (I'm filtering "inscriptions" since 2022) - keep looking for possible long-term mitigations to spam (witness discount removal soft forks, fast-to-update user-side spam-filtering policies outside of Core, etc.) nostr:nevent1qqszfgrzvwe6qd597ejm7rl85hrw5y7yexkesle00dk3a8mtsm9vmvcprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv8g6nwq3qart8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqxpqqqqqqzmyx87l

Great video. Finally one without the tribal feel behind it.

Agree, the most important thing is not to divide the #bitcoin community over that issue but keep an healthy dialogue since it is a complex topic to understand for non tech people. The first thing is "do no harm", this is why I still keep Core 28 until I have a better understanding of the situation. I will start exploring also Stratum V2 mining and wait and see how Knots develops. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp6xk03p45jjexp8pg9pgp62jalshhep9fl9z0ytt7cle7ul9f2ayqqszfgrzvwe6qd597ejm7rl85hrw5y7yexkesle00dk3a8mtsm9vmvch6cyvp

So what can a man who knows fok all about the technicals, even after this well brought video. I get it, the real threat pointed out.. The brain just falls a sleep, runs away. To get it i need to opt out and return ;) to the past and kick my younger self into a computer programming education. So.. All these balletles, dividedness has not helped to make me wanna run a node, but i do wanna run a node. It's a good video, and I saw that bbc article title in it on the illegal stuff stored on nodes.. How to be ready on these kind of attacks? What to do, what to say when someone gives this 'illegal data storing' argument when they find out i have a node running at home? Tell them it's a nothingburger? It's just as it is. A knife can help you chop up ingredients to create a nice meal but can also hurt...That life. Words of wisdom are welcome.

Hello, care to chat?

This is a good video thanks for sharing. I don’t understand why this sort of information wasn’t being pumped out left and right during these arguments to make things clear for everybody. Everyone was sharing fud based buzz word talking points.

Blowing up the OP_Return limit and allowing more than one OP_Return per txn does not fix anything or make Bitcoin functions better, only exposes an attack vector unnecessarily. This will drive up transaction fees, potentially pricing out smaller, every-day financial transactions and making Bitcoin less accessible for its original P2P cash use case. You should learn more about this before pretending everything is fine.

The video seems to keep skipping every few seconds. Does anyone else notice this? Sorry, not willing to watch with that effect

I may be able to help explain why… this was really really hard to do. I think most techie people wouldn’t be able to do it because they wouldn’t understand what I don’t know- and it’s incredibly hard not to use the buzz words (because that’s what the different parts are called) And then once you learn the words you quickly forget that most people don’t know what that means (similar to how it’s probably baffling to you why everyone doesn’t get Bitcoin- yet at some point in recent years you didn’t) especially if you do this stuff all day every day
