I worry about this. Not for me because I have only 70k sats outbound left with k00b and 35k inbound on an LSP who both said they're not gonna fork, and I haven't yet fuly architected my next LN node.

But I worry for people who will lose money because they get doublespent on the force close.

Hmm ok but you run an LN node. So how are you going to deal with a counterparty being on either side of the fork that your node isn't on?

Not at all.

That only answers the second part of my question 😂

However, if RDTS doubles down on their minority chaintip

I think the if is hardcoded to a block height / flag day, so this is not a question of if or even when anymore. It's a question of "what now"?

invalidating the first block of that branch

The one that applies to forking rules, yes.

I just re-read #5316 - must have been 11 years since I read that ugh - and now I think I'm confused about the mechanism. I remember that at one point the consensus was that invalidateblock would tag a block to lose to a competing block of lower weight, but now I am uncertain of where I read that.

No. If the US invades andorra you have to go through Spain or France so you cause WW3. It's land-locked, mountain locked.

If you invade Greenland you'll end BOTH NATO and the UN.

It's always been an atrocity, but teach your kids to never make allies again.

I went into the rabbit hole on the rumble vids of #1412245 and if he's right about even 1% of allegations then NATO is done.

Thanks Murch.

Since all my zaps go to CCs, I have paid them fwd. <3

That's true. Do you support it and how much influence do you have over Foundry?

As I understand it, it works differently. But to be honest I only remember sipa's narration so i have to re-review code to actually be sure.

I'll do that tomorrow.

I've met her, Amir, and their crew / sympathizers multiple times now. These people have a different view of the world than, say, your average Spark-pushing semishitcoiner. It's worth talking to them. Not to try and get them into the fold, but because they are so radically different from most people you know that you have an opportunity to learn.

Unlike some 110 ppl that just capitulate because they think looking like a rebel is cool. But their hollywood-style fata morgana does not live up to the real thing.

I think it is, because Luke is the one failing to force a policy from a 2.5% share of hashrate. The sole reason why miners mine spam is because it is profitable. So if you really want to make spam priced out, reduce block size to 100kB. I don't see that in BIP-110, because they have no fucking clue what they're doing. It's all politics.

My question is this: if 70% of the network is profit maxi, 10% is weird (f2pool) and the other 20% is mixed, why do we entertain this narrative?

Intolerant of non-profit-maximalism. With Antpool & co and Viabtc this is the clearest strategy. But do you really think that Foundry customers will suck wood for Luke's principles? lmao.

There are days that I wish I would open nostr and DM @Scoresby compliments. Like today.

Unfortunately, nostr DMs are among the worst fucking thing that ever went live in the history of compute. So imma just say this.

YES!!! Shame on you! 😭 lol

Naw... but I dont know what the fuck that means and why we all can't just get along.

Worse. I don't understand why there is a toxic conversation between the author of said BIP and Murch while I spent 7 fucking hours trying to be nice and bring actual issues to the table.

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.

Not really. Because we measure the accumulated work over time. So with 40% vs 60% thats a whole lotta luck to have to get consistent threat over, say 500k blocks.

What will happen though is this op: the moment 110-enjoyoors fork off (flag day) they will start spamming the majority with CP. However, at least one - but more likely many of them - will fuck up with their KYC'd coins. This person will be traced, and made an example of. Spooks love this play. Mixers too.

I laughed so hard yesterday when they announced this. More NATO countries just sent a single officer 🤣

What makes you think that other pools are using a default setting?

This is why using Voskuil's code, where you can set your own checkpoints, promises Super Fun Times ahead.

It's all bullshit. Luke is speaking to his base, not to you.

If there is a chaintip split and you're on the not-forked side, you can still replay all txns on the other side and get the fees, including those that you didn't mine. The only thing you cannot get is the fees from utxo that were doublespent.

If it is that easy to get 50%, then why does Ocean not have 50%?
