My wife is sad that bitcoin is ripping, because it makes our stacking goals harder to achieve.

Here is a peek into the raw creative process

and I have been tirelessly working on.

change my mind: if most bitcoiners weren’t fixated on charts, then adoption would be 100x from where it is now

the principles of bitcoin’s security remain this particular wallet had a particular vulnerability

now people are aware and learned

i know it sucks beyond belief, im sick. but how many people died along the oregon trail?

we have to keep marching onward in their honor

if nodes don’t control the network, then how does the network remain decentralized?

For anyone in opposition or on the fence about 110, if you cannot point to how 110’s tighter limits inhibit your use of the network, then perhaps you don’t have a principled reason to oppose it.

Dare I say, 110 probably better serves your interests.

Regarding BIP110: If your argument depends on “how” “who” “what” or “when” while ignoring “why,” you’re doing battle against a strawman.

Bitcoin is a “why” before a “what.”

Telos informs its technicals. Function has primacy.

Purpose cannot be divorced from the act of running Bitcoin software.

Why would anyone want a non-110 block?

110 blocks have better specs.

What does a non-110 block do better than a 110 block?

Why I’m Runnint BIP 110.

For me it all turns on defensibilty. 110 is either ≥ legacy legacy is either ≤ 110

with 110, we can win more defensibilty with legacy, we can win _____

How do you fill in the blank? Why should I play russian roulette?

nakamoto consensu is sausage made from everyone putting their dick on the chopping block

it’s not about being right or wrong it’s about putting it out there

For the people who don't like conflict and the BIP110 war, just know it is necessary.

It's a gift to both sides, no matter who comes out on top.

If you don't test your ideas against proof of work and put them in the fire, you have no fucking clue what they are really made of.

#bitcoin ‘s consensus is an expression of collective self-interest.

I think not understanding that dynamic relation is the principled root cause of all #BIP110 contention.

Syllogism:

1. If it is true that BIP110 is unnecessary, then the set of possible malicious attacks of 2^83 must be equal to 2^100,000

2. the sets of possible malicious attacks are NOT equal

3. MT ∴ BIP100 is necessary

“Fiat is a corruption of the relation between acquisition and preservation.”

what is the issue with this line of reasoning:

1. acknowledge 100k makes network less defensible that 83.
2. acknowledge benefit of 100k < defense of 83
3. acknowledge BIP110 > current consensus rules

here is an exercise:

What single principle would have to change for me to completely reconsider my position on BIP110?

Satoshi created relay filters for a reason<

if he did not, then i would be starting over from scratch

what principle, if changed, would change your position?

the incoherence of core advocacy comes from the fact that what carries their thought doesn’t appear in what they think.
