Theodicy is the philosophical attempt to justify God's goodness and justice in light of the existence of evil and suffering in the world. It addresses the conflict between the belief in an all-powerful, all-good God and the reality of evil, proposing various explanations for why God allows evil to exist.
(Ai summary)
So either god is not good, or not all-powerful, or does not exist 🤣

Adding a rule is changing the rule set, by most people's meaning of the words. But there is a slight difference. I shall endeavor to be clearer in the future.
But my point stands, one side is trying to rush through a change in the consensus rule set by adding new rules.
My main problem is the rush. That reeks of scammers trying to make people make mistakes by acting emotionally. Also the "temporary" part is just not sound money.

So you are saying that likes have caused an actual change in the narrative in the world? :-D

A change to the consensus rules of bitcoin. The rules that say whether a transaction is valid and can be added to a block.

I was under the impression that that is what Luke has said he wants to do? That they only need a few percent of miners to get this going. I will be honest here, I probably do not pay enough attention to all the details here.
Some of my objections to BIP110 is the "rush", and the proponents trying to incite panic and fear. And it also being "temporary", which to me sounds like the opposite of sound money.

2026-02-22 18:14:05 UTC

Only if the miners on both sides mine at the same speed and there are no RBF transactions. And miners chose the same txes.

2026-02-22 15:45:22 UTC

- reply

No, that is not what will happen. All mined blocks become invalid. So all transactions in them become unmined. Unless they happen to be mined in the other chain too.
Perfect time for a a large double spend...
Even considering an approach that might cause a reorg is hostile to bitcoin and bitcoiners.

Leaderless? Arent mechanic and luke trying to become the new Bitcoin Jesuses?
And the backdoor is the fact that this is temporary, and will need more updates and that it is sooooo imprtant to do quickly.

2026-02-21 20:57:53 UTC

- reply

Spam controls through filtering efforts rely on the filtering rules to be updated regularly, as new circumventions are invented. Controlling the filters mean controlling the system.
Also Luke has a history of wanting to ban various things that he does not like, like gambling. He tried to sneak that in to the Gentoo Linux distro... He will go down that road again soon enough.

2026-02-21 20:51:01 UTC

Oh yeah, we really want an AI controlling which transactions are valid and which are not. An AI trained/controlled by who?

2026-02-21 20:49:32 UTC

I am all for not trusting core devs automatically. Verify what they do!
But you certainly should not trust the Knots people either. They are being very underhanded about this situation.
Just the "this is super important and needs to be done now or it is the end of bitcoin" narrative they are running is so scammy. That is what phone scammers do to old people too, trying to stress them in to not paying actual attention to the issues.
Take a step back, look at the actual facts, and look at the track record of the people on either side. IMO some bad decisions were made by Core, but Tooooonnnnsss of red flags on the Knots side. But those are my opinions. Form your own!

100% agree. Thank you for using your clout to explain the real issue to people. Hopefully brings some sanity into this situation.
There is nothing as permanent as a temporary solution... We know this.

2026-02-21 19:33:49 UTC

"Completely impossible"? So you are saying that there is absolutely no way to create a valid transaction that holds arbitrary data? Forever?

2026-02-20 20:28:45 UTC

- reply

But it is only making it slightly more difficult to do it. It just removes one avenue. I don't see the point in sacrificing decentralization for such a small gain. Reeks of shitcoinery to me.

2026-02-18 17:09:09 UTC

- reply

I would love if there was an anti-spam measure that does not take away from decentralization and censorship-resistance. But I have yet to see one, apart from the fee-system that we already have in bitcoin. I have very low hopes of something better being invented. But I will keep my eyes peeled.
Happy to hear that you are anti-bip110, because that is a nasty piece of work :-)
I am just afraid that people will see a weak anti-csam effort as being more important than decentralization/anticensorship, and be lead astray.

2026-02-13 19:37:19 UTC

- reply

I don't really see a that solution is possible without sacrificing decentralization and/or uncensorablity. And that I am not willing to do. I am quite certain that fees are going up at some stage, and that will solve the problem. Bip110 is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
You don't need to try to convince me. We can agree to disagree.

Sigh... Can we stop the stupid propaganda about BIP110, please? It will never "win". Not on my bitcoin, anyway. I may get some fork coins off of it if you morons keep this up, I guess. Just as I did with the BCash fork.

2026-02-13 16:09:21 UTC

Bugs in code happen. That in itself does not signal a lack of seriousness.
But if Knots does not get more developers and a more structured development process then it most certainly signals a lack of seriousness!
I should be clear here, I don't follow Knots to any degree at all, so maybe the process and devcount is changing in a good way.

But it is also super energy efficient. Features that do not contribute to survival are dropped pretty quickly. And since this is an almost universa humanl feature it must have contributed to our survival at some point.
But it may also be some other system inour brains that is misfiring, but is not dangerous for us, so there has been no pressure to drop it.
