List of technical people against relaxing the OP_RETURN filter github.com/supertestnet/list_of_technical_people_against_relaxing_the_op_return_filter

448 sats \ 35 comments \ @supratic 6h bitcoin

@supertestnet making this list because he talked to 3 different people recently who plan to remain on Bitcoin Core due to their impression that a "consensus of the devs" favors relaxing the op_return filters, and that only a handful of technical people dispute this consensus. He wants to show that there is no such consensus.

By "technical people" he mean people who write or review code for protocols and apps that are (1) bitcoin itself (2) "on" bitcoin (e.g. wallets) (3) bitcoin adjacent (e.g. Liquid)

It's... configurable? What other 30.0 feature is controversial that is not configurable? txorphanage?

All this drama because Szabo came back or his acct got hacked?

211 sats \ 12 replies \ @Scoresby 4h

My guess is it's him. He joined the board of Jan3 in January and his tweets have largely followed the line of Excellion.

Also Szabo's recent immigration takes seem to align with his pre 2021 takes.

I'm agnostic to him coming back or his account getting hacked.

Oh right now you are “slaying your heroes” because Nick won’t go along with your change?

Wow the cognitive dissonance is unbelievable

100 sats \ 1 reply \ @Scoresby 45m

good friend, I challenge you to find the instance where I said anyone working on Core was my hero, or where I acted like Core developers deserve any special credence because of who they are.

I do believe they deserve credence because of their past work, just as I think Szabo is worth listening to because of his past work.

The inflation bug? Taproot witness exploit?

You are supporting v30 so yes it is your change brother

It must suck to so desperately need a tree to bark up on, that you have to resort to this tree. lol

I'm supporting code review. Have you done code review, brother? Have you at the very least read the release notes? What's the non-configurable change and how is it controversial?

Make sure you mention all that to the jury for the cp distribution trial, I’m sure they will understand.

None of you "technical" geniuses have explained what exactly is preventing this exact same thing from happening to bitcoin just like it did on BSV with the same code. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47130268

I know he works for a company that does technical things, but it's disingenuous to call him technical.

This may be a dumb question but I'm gonna ask it.

Consensus of what devs? Are people thinking there is consensus of core devs or just devs that build bitcoin ecosystem tools?

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @optimism 4h

No, it's a very smart question, actually. And I don't know the answer. I'd personally not call this shitshow "consensus", but then, who cares? You can still configure it in any way you like.

People care if they care about Bitcoin.

Bitcoin-core being corrupt or compromised is a pretty big deal

Indeed...

I don't really like this kind of appeal to authority. The arguments should stand on their own. Yes, being experienced with the technical side gives you some more weight on technical matters, but Bitcoin is more than just a technical system. There are all sorts of incentives and game theory that matter as well, which is not traditionally the realm of programmers (which is what is typically meant by technical).

Engineers OFTEN have bad ideas. This is why the vast majority of apps/projects fail. Their code might be great but the idea is bad.

Yeah, when consensus is used as a tool to shut up debate... that's no good.

Also no good is bad arguments that are hyperbolic. I've seen way too much of that in this debate.
