As I said on X, BIP-110 is as much a signal that Bitcoin is money as a slap in the face of the careless developer class.

Thanks!
My only interest in FPPS is that it seemed easier to implement than PPLNS and especially TIDES, with its payouts to miners directly from the coinbase tx.
But now I've realized you could send all the rewards from the coinbase tx to a pool operator's address and still implement PPLNS payouts.

An MMORPG with Nostr-based accounts and Lightning Network integration to make sats the base currency of the game. And make it realistic enough so that an anarchic in-game economy can flourish.

It does in this case. If you care about validating and broadcasting your own blocks as fast as possible you don't want to run the node in a cheapo VPS that is timesharing the physical CPU with a thousand other virtual machines.
But besides this irrelevant non sequitur my point still stands: nothing stops any serious miner from having his own "pool-grade" low latency & well connected node. It's orders of magnitude easier and cheaper than running a big mining farm.

2025-03-24 21:15:22 UTC

- reply

Why do you assume a miner's node has to be a dingy Raspberry Pi at home running exclusively over Tor?
If a miner cares about such a thing he can run their node on AWS and add a bunch of addnode= to their configuration, just like Ocean or anyone else can do it.
If they can afford enough ASICs to find blocks with certain regularity they surely can afford to rent a basic bare metal server to host their node.

2025-03-24 20:46:48 UTC

- reply

Yes, I think it'd be an attack because Ocean would be crediting the attacker's shares to receive payouts from other honest miners, while they'd get to keep the full reward when they find a block.
However the protocol doesn't assume that miners behave honestly because they share their templates with the pool for inspection: https://github.com/OCEAN-xyz/datum_gateway/issues/1
Sharing the full template is not strictly necessary, though. I believe the datum_gateway could just send the block header, the coinbase transaction and a Merkle proof of inclusion of that transaction. But I don't know if that's what they have in mind for future versions of DATUM.

Hi, I'm the author of secp256k1_nostr.
We also stumbled upon the invalid signature errors while working on the nostrver-se/nostr-php library and figured out the fix: https://github.com/public-square/phpecc/pull/1
However the fix never got merged, so I did yet another fork of phpecc that includes it in case someone really needs a working PHP implementation of Schnorr signatures (uma/phpecc v0.1.3).
Besides the poor speed the problem with phpecc and all its forks is that they are not maintained at all (including mine!). Relying on libsecp256k1 is way better.

Back in 2017 a few of the spam filters from Core that apply to legacy TXs were not adapted for SegWit.
Fixing this inconsistency in Core would go a long way in mitigating the problem, but the current maintainers don't seem willing to make this fix (they recently closed a Pull Request that did just that).
Running Bitcoin Core with the ordisrespector filter, running Bitcoin Knots (@lukedashjr's version of Core with extra features and adequate filters), or pointing your hashrate to Ocean if you are a miner are the things that are in the hands of individual Bitcoiners.

With lightning each pair of peers still generate opening and closing transactions that need to bid for blockspace. With CTV, I understand that a single onchain transaction could be shared by an arbitrary number of people that are actually transacting offchain (say, millions of people). Seems to obsolete the need to bid for blockspace with much more intensity.

> But some “fixes” could even backfire and create less fees, or introduce bugs, or damage the incentive structure

Couldn't this be one of these cases? If covenants allow moving a lot of the transactional volume offchain wouldn't this compromise the incentive of a fee market to form in the first place?
