Even though @DarthCoin has a more controversial style, he's contributed a lot of good literature, and somehow, I feel his absence on Stacker.News. What do you think?

He said his work on SN was done. Makes sense he put a lot of work in.
He’s still on Nostr tho.

Nah, I muted him ages ago. Being a hardliner that doesn't exist on the same plane of reality as everyone else isn't useful for me.
Bitcoin needs to shed these sorts of people, not worship the ground they walk on. You can create good shit without being an asshole. Reminds me of the early days of the Linux/FOSS community we (mostly) grew out of

Missed in Bitcoin content. Missed in reviews and tests for wallets and software etc
Not missed for terminally online political/culture war hamsterwheeling.

He contributed lots of content that was useful to lots of people.
In my experience he was painful and unproductive to interact with. Good work doesn't make up for being an asshole.

I am a maxi like Darth, but I have bad news for him....bitcoin is not going to proceed in ways that he approves of long-term.
One of the downsides of holding narrow and militant views of things is that future changes are far more likely to happen outside that strict approval window rather than within it.
Mainstream adoption must involve IOU-bitcoin to some degree, there is simply no way to onboard a billion people without it. There is not enough time available at 7 transactions / sec for there to be any other solution than "paper bitcoin".

AFAIK he hasn't disputed this, what did I miss?
This fact also doesn't mean we (maxis) should embrace every bullshit scam (federations) that makes false promises on how to mitigate trade-offs.
The alternative is holding popular and unprincipled views. Long term things evolve around the nuances of principle.

Its not "either / or".
You can be both principled and also acknowledge that things will likely change in negative ways that impact those principles over time.

I think we're at very a different understanding of the nature of principles
No one is denying the existence of entropy, but many things are constant, and to forget or dismiss those is to repeat the errs of history.

Certainly. I sense that he's still lurking around, making his presence felt through anon when something really pisses him off. Once we have subscriptions I think he'll be back.

Always expecting him to snap at shitcoiners when they post but he doesn't anymore, kind of sad...still active on other chats (e.g., LNBits, Zeus) where his feedback on testing tech is highly appreciated

I've noticed that @DarthCoin's unique style might not be everyone's cup of tea, but his literary contributions are undeniable. It's a shame that he's not around on Stacker.News anymore. Do you miss him too?
