do you find efforts like this contributions to serious discussion?

source

There are enormous contributions like the Bitcoin Knots with BIP-110 implementation which anybody can download and install to be ready before the BIP-110 activation in August 2026: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/.

There are very good articles, e.g. http://www.citadel21.com by Hodlonaut, https://wtfhappenedinfeb2023.com/, video tutorials https://www.youtube.com/@Bitcoin_University by Matthew Kratter, podcasts, e.g. Knut Svanholm, Bitcoin Mechanic and so on.

Would you be willing to help me get hodlonaut, mechanic, or kratter for an AMA on here?

reply

I literally started a group chat on Signal that has all three, and more.

Bitcoin Parley.

I will share this there.

cool! thank you! they are welcome to do an AMA on here any time. if they don't mind coordinating with me, I can do my best to promote it.

reply

Will do my part to make that happen to the best of my ability.

reply

Ask them directly. Thousands of people contacted them and received responses so you can make it too.

mechanic blocked me (for no reason I can see: i've never said anything remotely unkind to him)

kratter never responds to me (I have replied to his posts a number of times).

I will try to get hodlonaut.

reply

I will ask Mechanic to unblock you.

Maybe you can answer, then:

BIP-110 claims it can reduce the amount of arbitrary data on chain, but even napkin math shows that it, at best, gives a 0.6% increase in cost/byte for a spammer. It also does not prevent embedding contiguous image files even in policy standard Knots txs. Given its technical ineffectiveness, the remaining goal of "sending a message" is mere virtue signaling, no better than planting a sign on your lawn saying "outdoor air pollution is not welcome here!" What remaining reasons are there for supporting this?

reply

Why do you keep asking the same question of me but in different places? Are you expecting a different answer?

Sorry, I thought I was asking @gregtonoski . I’m new on this site.

welcome!

reply

Oh, I see you were asking him the same question you asked me, just on my AMA.

Maybe he should do his own.

don't hate on Chris, he's a good friend

reply

it's not hate. but I find it very disingenuous to list business which I know are opposed to BIP 110 as "planned"

reply

fair enough
