IT'S A GLOBAL DISTRIBUTED DATABASE FOR MONETARY TRANSACTIONS / BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS

Purposely misrepresenting a position? Not you!
Why intentionally skip the consent of the majority part mentioned?
He also suggested that hiding transaction ledger histories (eventually in the same thread coming to the conclusion that a combination of ring signatures and stealth addresses, a la Monero, might be the mechanism to do so) if possible to sanely implement, would be the basis of “a much better, easier, more convenient implementation of Bitcoin”. Today the Bitcoin puritans say that Bitcoin doesn’t need privacy or fungibility, because it is a “store of value”.
Not a suggestion

once you recognize that they're not actual purists but sheep of the state, everything makes perfect sense. who you are and what you've done in the past is irrelevant: "past performance is not indicative of future results"
people who care about bitcoin will think, and those who care about something else will talk
Read the fricking subject line ffs. This kind of “argument” simply suggests you are disingenious
Satoshi understood that Bitcoin is programmable money that uses a distributed database to create consensus for the current state of the system. After all, Satoshi implemented the programming language for Bitcoin script.
It's up to us how to use Bitcoin. What's your view on keeping/removing witness discount?
Witness discount still makes sense to improve the incentive mismatch between creating and consuming utxos.
Let me add after probing the trail you left online… there is nothing in original Script for storing data, serving applications, or anchoring external systems. The programmability is entirely money-native.
Again, your statement simply shows what you are made of.
Database of MONETARY transactions, not jpegs dickbuts spam that SLopp loves.
Foolish nobody, you can literally add data to script via OP_PUSHDATA and manipulate it with a variety of other opcodes.

Nobody is skipping it. Well, Knotzis think they can...
Nobody is skipping it. Corrupted and compromised Core think they can...
This is the method you keep using: two claims welded together. One honest, one disingenuous. It’s your only play like a broken record.
Most of the categories listed in your link were disabled by Satoshi in 2010. You cannot concatenate two arbitrary strings or do arithmetic on arbitrary bytes in live Script.
Mental gymnastic at best. Be honest, the way you were on stage, just tell us all “so what?!?! what are you going to do about it?!?!?”
I see you moved the goalposts from "original script" to "live script" 😏
Your question is unclear. If you're referring to the Lugano panel where Luke and Mechanic insisted on ad hominem fallacies that Peter and I are bad actors, my goal was to get them to admit they were planning a consensus change rather than relying on relay policies.
But they have no balls, so they stuck to slinging bullshit propaganda which was hilarious when they announced BIP-118 48 hours later.
But my point remains: brainwashed puritans can hate me all they want, it will accomplish nothing.
My question? I did not ask a question. I encouraged you to repeat the question you once asked.
The goalpost has been there since 2010.
Exactly 🎯 and the good news is that their scam businesses are already getting crushed hard.
How'll you define Bitcoin Puritans?
Yeah, programmatically incentivizing financial decisions is SUPER Austrian economics, not at all financial engineering. 🙄
I love how you are completely ignoring the rest of his post on purpose….
there is absolutely no "spam” problem. Quite the inverse. Fees are incredibly low because chain activity is a fucking ghost town. There’s always been non-financial data on chain, from the genesis block (‘Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks' quote). Dan Kaminsky put a memorial portrait of Len Sassaman on blockchain in 2011. This narrative of “spam” is total newfag shit. It instantly tells me you have not been around Bitcoin long at all.
40% spam is not problem for this clown. 99% will not be a problem for him too, because at the end of the day, he is a clown
I'm only interested in knowing what you intend to do about it if you actually have a novel proposal. I'm generally uninterested in grievance merchants.
A database of financial transactions is not the same thing as a volunteer csam hosting service.
One is a database of financial transactions, the other is a database of child sexual exploitation images and videos.
These are completely different use cases for blockchain.
Not the same thing at all.
According to slopp, sotashis real dream for Bitcoin was to create a volunteer csam hosting service and a database of malware and dickbutt nfts.
There's actually a lot of people on nostr like him that will share something like this that proves their entire point wrong and makes them look like a fool.
Then act like it's some "gotcha" to everyone else that can read.

Bitcoin is a globally distributed database to keep track of the current state of money ownership. Thus, the properties of that database and the incentives for interacting with it are rather relevant.
Ok, this part makes sense. What is incentives mismatch between creating and consuming utxos? Can it be addressed with 50% witness discount vs 75%?
