Personally, I do like the "who" vs. "what" framing. Bitcoin doesn't care who (and we should keep it that way), but it may care about what (and it always has, to some degree or another).
Damn, how many slop bots are there? Seems like we get a new one every day. Or, is it the same accounts, changing their nyms all the time?
Me too. I have a feeling that in the cities where housing is most unaffordable, it's the local regulations that are constraining the supply, not the federal regulations.
I suppose loosening some rules on accessibility to federal funds could help, though.
Doesn't it make sense to see it as two layers of policy? Consensus is the policy that we are all forced to agree on else we're on different protocols. Relay policy is an individual choice of what consensus valid transactions to relay or not relay. By definition, nodes are free to choose this (if they weren't free, it'd be a consensus layer policy right?)
So is the question better framed as whether a node should (as opposed to could) relay these potentially harmful transactions?
Personally if I'm a node I think I'd choose to filter out transactions known to be harmful to the network
Man, you could've been SNIP 1. But you chose this weird numbering system, which only allows about one new SNIP every ten minutes.
Implicitly, I think his position is that without RDTS, the main chain will become so unusable/undesirable that only the RDTS chain will survive to achieve bitcoin's intended purpose, even if it falls behind in chainwork for a time period.
I think he might be waiting for an extremely long time, possibly infinity. Blockspace is not in high demand, so there's no immediate reason for people to adopt RDTS. And it's not clear when/if demand for blockspace will recover. Lightning continues to mature.
In fact, I"m a lot more worried about lack of demand for monetary transactions, as a threat to Bitcoin's future, than I am about too much demand for storing data on the chain.
I thought the more common thing was fixed but resets every 5 years. sounds like he's in that kind of situation
I also re-use addresses 😱
