yeah that would slow Bitcoin down by about a week and generate a lotttt of positive PR for Microsoft in the developer community /s

you can't stop someone from punching themselves in the nuts. leave the poor guy alone.

I feel the same way.

invaluable for his contributions. now his heroic reputation and accomplishments are deployed for negative goals.

bad analogy, it's more like vaulting your own gold / cash / valuables.

don't feed the trolls 🙄

you are primarily inconveniencing yourself with this impossible to articulate or implement policy which solves no concrete problem.

A byte is a byte. The bible is 4 megabytes, could fit it in a single op_return for a fat block.

How many bytes is too many? No dictator, however benevolent, can say.

Only the market can figure this one out.

Eligius not elijius, sorry.

Thanks for digging this up.

Can you also do some reddit bitcoin / bitcointalk archaeology to find where lukejr (or his original pool, elijius I think) was putting bible verses in blocks using op_return, or however they did it? Ridiculous and discrediting if true. (But I couldn't find it. But I didn't look that hard.)

how do you trust your escrow guy?

You can but just remember the saying.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Thank you for sharing these memories.

We need to use web of trust, not just for cases like this, everywhere.

yup

On the plus side, Ivanishvili has a totally banging house.

gold lol who cares.

I was talking about the utxo set not the mempool but I'm curious anyway.

can you provide more background / links about this?

utreexo

pretty much the only viable scaling solution, if utxo bloat persists indefinitely, which it is starting to look like it might.

David Bailey owns bitcoin magazine and runs the bitcoin conference, is sort of kind of allies with trump, and so should be able to scam late investors and take care of the earliest investors. His brazen self dealing is no red flag as long as he has political cover from trump and the NAV premium is what he tells his accountants it has to be to attract further investment.

NAKA is only slightly scammier than MSTR so why get all exercised?

Sell cold storage coins and buy NAKA, it's early and this can run for a long time, what can possibly go wrong?

if they can get signoff that rapid tiny micropayments aren't a money laundering vector, probably they can do micropayments.

it's all tweaks and sign-offs and opportunism by regulators and central middlemen. .

this chapter won't last forever. but it could go on for a few years I reckon

the end game is that society gives up on enforcing AML/kyc and focuses on other ways to stop bad guys. that is decades not years away
