Kruse to date has never looked the part he portrays IMHO

We are never gonna see that interview. He was wasting his time going on her show lol. Just look at her sponsors… she’s a puppet

she did have Simon Dixon on once his message started gaining traction, it took her some time, so perhaps the interview with Dr. jack does surface at some point

Come on though, how much can he really say before things don’t make any sense.. he claims diet and health recommendations yet he is pudgy and a physical mess, then he tries swooping and pooping on Saladino who at least is fit and practices what he preaches. Is he still on the whole Lucky Luciano financial network ? Theres only so much u can hear before dropping it.

Pressing play 💪

Wealth of information is shared during this awesome talk. Thank you to both of you! I am running #BIP110 & #BitcoinKnots because Bitcoin is Freedom Money

Added to my watch list

Dr. Kruse’s framing seems deliberately provocative; it hints at a radical divergence from established narratives concerning AI development and its ethical implications – a shift worth exploring.

is the guy based AF?

Curious what the other side of the conflict is that the Fabians are backing. Because they almost always back two sides of a conflict -- the goal isn't to resolve it in a given direction, but rather, to destabilize the surrounding area with the conflict itself (so as to make swooping in later easier -- see: American Civil War, Everything post-Ottoman, every colour revolution ever). Makes me glad to see that it's not likely to succeed WITHOUT resorting to a URSF -- something that seems to bother some of the drummers behind this march almost more annoyed than the nominal spam issue itself (which has always been fairly obviously blown out of proportion, hence a lot of nonsense repeated about CSAM, block size, and even utxo set given that utreexo mostly makes this a solved issue). I'm not gonna say there's not Fabians on the Core side, but the idea that 110 is anything BUT this sort of destabilization campaign seems pretty willfully blind. Perhaps he'll be able to offer clarification as to why he'd see things otherwise. I won't speak for Natalie but will say I'm not terribly surprised she didn't entertain going down some of Kruse's rabbit holes. Her show usually is aimed at newer Bitcoiners or pre-coiners and showcasing how Bitcoin can improve peoples' lives, largely as a top of funnel orange pilling vehicle. That she'd shy away from getting into the Thunderdome that is Bitcoiners fighting Bitcoiners fighting Bitcoiners is all in all pretty on brand.

I like Jack but he can blind himself with the sort of confidence you HAVE to have as a neurosurgeon making split second decisions sometimes. Definitely worth salting to taste (and always DYOR).

Thank you so much @knutsvanholm and dr Kruse! Speakers of t r u t h, and it is truth which will prevail. I am curious to know the content of the censured podcast and its historical info with Nathalie Brunell. You're podcast work is much appreciated!

The other side are people who supported Knots and were supposedly against spam, but are also against BIP110. You figure out who I am talking about.

So Core supporters and anti-spam anti-BIP-110 are the two sides of a controled fight? Yea, that doesn't really seem plausible. Core overshot by removing datacarriersize even as an option as it previously existed, but ultimately was reacting to miner centralization causing miners to process out of band transactions for a fee because they could (due to centralization). More transactions going out of band was worse than the impact of spam (particularly prunable spam). They went way further than necessary, but the direction looks soundly rooted in the situation. 110 overshoots in an attempt to lock things down. So much so that there is next to no support from merchant nodes (armies of start9 installs not meaning much of anything). Near term, practically neither of these actually changes much. 110 fails because it's entirely foolishly designed, while Core's move changes relatively little because honestly Librerelay had already solved the matter of out of out of band transactions. Core just enabled more visibility of likely blocks to people who run Core. It does, however, drive social division, and props up the likelihood of multiple implementations, which can in turn drive ossification. I'm generally for implementations for user choice, though ossification would be a decidedly bad thing for a network that still very much needs to grow in layers. There's no reason anyone should be aiming to accept Bitcoin® by Chaincode, but there's also no reason to reject it by splintering any ability to upgrade (especially through opposition that 'just wants Bitcoin how it used to be.'). In any case seeing the breakdown of nodes and miners it does look like Bitcoin's immune system is working as intended, and not being dragged into this nonsense. Tweet and Note storms notwithstanding.

@knutsvanholm excellent interview! I always love the uncle Jack take. You were right on about life being to short to not just say it how it is. I hope @nat brunell decides to uncensor her interview and says fuck it as well ✌

You can either get spam that pays MARA through Slipstream and bypasses the p2p network, or you can recognize that policy filters in a centralized mining regime don't work and focus on the main issue: miner centralization. One part of that is: take away their ability to monetize out of band transmission, and stop it from doing further damage to monetary use cases through a lack of visibility of mempool conditions. Fix centralization and we can talk about policy as a spam mitigation tool.

Repeating the compromised and corrupted Core's slop does not make it less slop. The real solution to miner centralization is DATUM.

We have Datum. Are you mining? What's your hash rate?

Not aside from a little nm-miner (1 mh/s) -- more of a little clock and price ticker than a miner really. Expensive electricity + cheap natural gas. Trying to help my wife see about getting some mining going at work with some unused solar (and cold rooms in winter) though. Just not sure if that'll be some good conversations or some special space heaters. And yes, Datum and Stratum v2 are both things worth keeping an eye on. Curious what the hold up is with some of the other pools given that it does seem that the payout model is better with Ocean than with things like fpps. Also wondering just how much hash we'll be losing to AI compute -- though I expect the next bull run will see at least a portion of it come back

Yep. Definitely done more than Stratum v2 has at least so far, though we'll see if that does come around. Hopefully it does since many at Ocean seem hellbent on leaving Bitcoin behind in August for the new chain, and Luke is already talking about an adjustment of difficulty rate to keep the new chain going even after it fails to pull Bitcoin along with it.

They plan no such thing.
