They do have free tier though right? I imagine that paid subscribers won't get ads. If they do, I'm unsubscribing right away.
According to Neil Gaiman these are places of power.
Now, if the BIP 110 people really wanted to do something, they could make it so if their chain ever gets 2 or 3 blocks behind, they reorg to use the non-BIP-110 tip and try again. Maybe people would get so frustrated that they would run BIP 110 just to stop the reorg storm.
I think this is what I implicitly had in mind, because i am still thinking from the perspective of today, where the miners are in sync.
But you're right, if they just stay on their own fork, then it just becomes another fork coin.
I mean, even with Google I don't think people's objections were to ads per se. It was to the fact that eventually, decisions get made which are primarily driven by ads and monetization, rather than user experience, despite promises to the contrary.
No doubt OpenAI is trodding down the same well worn path.
No, what I'm saying is that at any given moment, there's a chance of a split which results in one of the non-BIP-110 blocks getting orphaned.
The split isn't likely to last long, and at most a block or two, if BIP-110 miners have minority hash rate.
But since the risk is there at all times, it could result in a meaningful reduction of expected profits for a non-BIP-110 miner.
Does that make sense?
So I'm not saying that the splits will ever be large. Only that at any given moment there's a chance for a small one.
I think what you're missing is that at any given moment, there is a risk of the first scenario you outlined (i.e. BIP-110 miners getting lucky, causing a non-BIP-110 to be orphaned). This reduces the expected returns of non-BIP-110 miners in perpetuity, even if BIP-110 miners have a minority of the hash rate.
How large this effect is, I'm not sure. And that might be Luke's point about how "under 50% could work" but is not a "strong guarantee"

I probably fall most into the natural law camp, given my biblical worldview.
the problem with actual contracts and voluntary agreements is that it's impossible to write a contingency for every possible state of the law. Whenever a situation happens outside the written contract language or there's ambiguity, you will have to resort to some principles that exist outside the contract.
What assumptions did you find unrealistic and which ones lead to the lightning network "not working"?
Good reminder that survey questions are cheap talk
That being said, it shows an openness to bitcoin that wasn't capitalized on, and that openness has probably shrunk due to the scamcoin scandals and association with crypto
compared to last week, it is indeed hot
