I hear you, this is where first principles compete and we have to draw on contextual wisdom. So in my opinion, the sole issue here is when taproot accidentally allowed contiguous spam. Thats all I want fixed, which is a very specific and important reversion of behavior that was acccidentally reduced, aka a bug. In this way, Im behaving as a radical fundamentalist, Im behavinf as a pragmatist wanting an unintentional bug fixed. On the other hand, core refused to fix it and then cannonized it with the OP_RETURN increase. Core’s path, although not an explicit fork but the canonizing of a bug in the fork, is what you and I actually should agree on based on how I understand your position. Thanks for putting your energy into this issue ✨

yes, unless of course a previous fork unintentionally broke it in an existential way

Bro call me, we can sort this out in an hour. Bip110 is not at all what youre saying it and not repairing ghe contiguous spam is a direct an imminent threat to bitcoin’s philosophy of being used as money and not being a relic like gold

Yup, and we do that by running bip110

this is the perspective with which to properly view BIP110
we are under attack
bullshit contiguous data on the block chain is the attack

this is how the US is supposed to be functioning, but the 14th amendment has created a legal-fiction overlay that has confused people into believing they are "citizens" instead of "nationals". Everything pre-14th amendment is pretty much UCC contract law

Yeah! I'm imagining it like you'd browse to the app website (e.g. primal.net) and then click download app and it would add the app to the desktop. Then the linux phone is integrated with a nostr signer. Boom.
But then! We could also have a local relay running on the phone, where that entire user's data is cached (their events, the events of the people they are following and events of the people following them). So like their entire "tree" of events is stored in their local relay (as much as possible).
And then this linux phone has become a mobile relay, like part of a Bit Chat mesh network. So each person becomes like a mailman bringing updates from other relays to wherever they go.
Wild.

Unpopular opinion: The comments here show a lack of understanding of gold or its history. "Welcome to capital controls" from a teenage asset, lol. The bankers want to make bitcoin a reserve asset that the people don't hold and don't understand, suppress the price with military/economic intervention, then revalue it suddenly 50 years later effectively dropping the debt on the people. Call it a dumb rock or study the long game of what is coming to bitcoin. Bitcoin is not immune to the tactics that the bankers use. We need circular economies with bitcoin or we lose. Period. People will interpret this is an anti-bitcoin or pro-gold message and that fundamental misunderstanding is the problem.

The US Mint just increased the price of a 1oz American Eagle from $95 to $173. Something is happening and it's a way bigger deal than the price of silver going up 👀

Well not really, because that just divides an nsec into multiple secret shares. They still add up to that nsec, so if that nsec were compromised, then it is compromised.
Related, I wrote a sketch of a NIP proposal that offers a solution using FROST, but it isn't sufficient without what I named "Chain of Governance"

that doesn't seem good enough for a business that loses it's livelihood. Maybe there should be a NIP where someone can say "this pubkey was mine until X date"?

Silver is on its righteous path to restore its proper ratio with gold of ~10% (the ratio of their supplies) so could be a fun thing to hodl and might actually outperform bitcoin while it does that. Plus silver kills vampires 👺

Maybe the killer app for Nostr is governance? This NIP proposes a category of solution to the centralization problem, especially suited for big stuff like Linux & Bitcoin to Boards & HOAs to Olympics & FIFA to Academic & Medical Journals to States & Nations.

Or like the inflationary overflow incident in 2010 when Satoshi forked away (aka confiscated) UTXOs that would have broken the system. It's easy to be cute and virtue signal simple principles, but life is dirty. Sometimes you have to confiscate specific UTXOs to save the network as Satoshi did in 2010. And in no way is this a slippery slope to confiscating any UTXO, literally nobody really believes that
