Adam Back Matthew R. Kratter Mechanic #FixTheFilters #300kb the other part of the argument -- that if you relay unconfirmed data you're complicit, but if you store and relay confirmed data you have deniability -- is nonsensical. if they are _actually_ worried about this, they should be perusing a consensus change

Uh oh… more ILLEGAL data all up in your node! Inspired by Adam Back' cypherpunk T-shirt displaying RSA encryption in perl, I recently minted the following ILLEGAL munition: stampchain.io/stamp/5ae3c2a8…

if contiguous data is so bad, propose a fork to remove OP_PUSHDATA2 and OP_PUSHDATA4. Otherwise stfu

When it comes to #bitcoin, the only thing you should filter is the air to cool your miners!

Talip 🍊🍋 Citrea In a hypothetical world, if op_return standardness was 144 bytes, would the design been just 1 op_return as 144 bytes?

Some people seem to have missed the summary accompanying the OP_RETURN defaults increase, so I'll post it here again. It has absolutely nothing to do with *wanting* arbitrary data stuffed in the chain.

Peter Todd Arthur van Pelt 🔥 ∞/21M ⚡ Yeah, what about a scheme we discussed in our paper, with JPGs in provate keys, except you don't reveal the K values until after confirmation. As long as ECDSA is secure, this is mathematically impossible to detect

Relay policy blocking economically motivated transactions

Hypothetically would it be possible to use libbitcoin on a very large VPS you rented for a few hours, then once it's done validating, create a trusted hints file to import on a Core node that you can send your friend?

I cant take anyone seriously who says a state actor wont write a for-loop

Read this. And then read it again. We had natural experiments with fullrbf and sub-1 s/vb. This is how the network operates.

omg no way

Hey nifty, genie class there’s a new demand arising and its rising fast

Thinking of forking Bitcoin Core to explore some performance increasing changes. Not sure if it'll go anywhere but it's interesting to think about.

[4/6] Data suggests that large amounts of "arbitrary data", may actually speed up blockchain verification. Our data may indicate that verification gets faster as the average Ordinal size increases & 11% of the variance in verification time can be explained by larger Ordinals

Ocean finally did it. They're trying to get your nodes deplatformed. They warned us and they weren't lying that time.
