this would be good, US KYC mining pools are getting too big
sometimes (at least for me), choosing to do something even if you're unsure if it will make a difference requires a lot of mental effort (work). perhaps, props to you for taking the initiative would have been more accurate :)
it already did. it exists and has functioned for over a decade, with no indication that it will be stopping

YOU IDIOT
lol jk, that's all very fair, and may I say I am a fan of your instructional videos.
I am open to discussing protocol changes to get rid of inscriptions. I guess I was more criticizing discussions that are just about "do you like ordinals or are you mad???". This probably goes without saying, but a protocol change really needs to offer more benefits than just disincentivizing ordinals. It's not a pressing problem, nor do I think it will be.
I do believe I would support a blocksize decrease, and agreed, it would help drive out ordinals.
you've outdone yourself this time @DarthCoin in terms of being absolutely unhinged
There's three camps: idiots and scammers who think art can be tokenized, people who acknowledge ordinals don't violate the protocol rules and therefore further discussion is irrelevant, and idiots who think they can do something to stop camp 1

A few people chimed in with their thoughts in that thread.
I think there will be a lot of low-quality but highly zapped content out there. Essentially Marvel movies on Nostr
If a side chain has a consensus mechanism and blocks, it's not a layer 2, it's just another blockchain sitting along side bitcoin.
You don't scale a blockchain by adding other blockchains on top of it. Why?
- Because you're just inflating the block size limit by creating more block space and
- Blockchains don't scale, by design. So you're not actually solving the problem
That sounds really tough man, I'm sorry to read this.
Feeling alone is painful. You'll find a way back though.
When you're physically sick (stomach flu or something nasty), you almost forget what it was like to be healthy. And when you're healthy, it's hard to imagine how shitty it was when you were sick.
I've found that it goes the same way with loneliness, anxiety, whatever the affliction. That better tomorrow is on its way
