I’m simply saying that unless consensus is achieved then anything else is just trying to cure cancer with bandaid
DDoS is not consensus.. simply an obvious local protection that whoever runs nodes would want to have
Maybe wrong about ctv and if there is consensus then that’s where discussion should be and together with that then we can all review if having that data in op returns make sense
That said, if we use bitcoin enough we can price out all that garbage… if we enable more use cases like ctv then base layer would simply be expensive for garbage and there would be incentives for them to do it on second layers

2025-09-06 13:26:56 UTC

- reply

Thinking that with bunch of raspberries running non consensus set of filters you can enforce new rules is another attack and luckily bitcoin can resist to it
DDoS attack you can spin up thousands of nodes without it and still bitcoin will resist ..
So in the end.. consensus or exit
Everything else is irrelevant
And by the way, the same people who dislikes op_return are opposed to op_ctv, op_cat etc
Should they have agreed with it, we wouldn’t be having this op_return debate and all the jpegs and stuff would live in other layers

2025-09-06 12:57:40 UTC

Consensus is what matters in the end.
And in fact this is very important because otherwise someone can come with 50 thousand raspberries and run a new version of core forcing rules that we may not have agreed with

I have a question:
Is hashrate a relevant metric to measure Network's Strengh?
I think is not but interested in hearing counter arguments here
Why Not?
- Because the only real thing that matters is how much money an adversary would need to attack the network and that is measured in terms of money needed on electricty and hardware plus infra
- Hashrate will continue to grow even if the network total strengh goes down. One of the latest AntMiners is capable of producing 10X or even more than previous versions of antminers so if I see hashrate going up 10x may simply mean that I have replaced equipement without having spent more money to support the network

2025-07-28 14:58:16 UTC

- reply

if you read carefully what I mean behind that expression you would understand.
Hashrate is definitively a very vague proxy for total network power. In the end what you want to know is how much mony an adversary would need to attack your network
with 5,5kw today you can easily produce 580Thash/s with the upcoming Antminer
with an Antminer S9 from the past you would produce 10% of that hashrate with the same electricity
it means that overtime, without increasing the dollar amount spent on the network you would have seen a 10X increase in hashrate with people all over twitter claiming that we are doing ATH and that the network is more secure
but is just simple math.. the network is secured by electricty/hardrware/infrastructure. Whoever joins now as an adversary will have access to equipment that is very efficient so it's all about the money spent on those elements.. hashrate is a side effect

2025-07-28 12:25:20 UTC

- reply

hashrate is irrelevant as it depends on tech progress.. what's important is how much money you need to attack the network

“The big gain depends on Coinbase rewards”
Yes exactly and that will go away fast… so not sure what you are talking about honestly …
In few halving from now if we don’t see onchain demand growing we will have a problem
You can bet on demand growing or price growing to 20-30 million
I’d rather add few other things that I believe would be great for bitcoin and that can increase chances of having stronger block space demand

2025-07-28 02:19:46 UTC

I think I’m getting it @npub12rv…85vg

2025-07-28 01:47:31 UTC

Hashrate follows “dollar per block” and not price
In few halving, no matter how big the price is, dollars per block will be significantly reduced unless we get a surge of onchain demand (so far that doesn’t look to be the case) hence enabling trustless bridges will create bigger demand on block which will utilmately generate more dollars per block so hashrate will follow

2025-07-28 00:59:06 UTC

- reply

Are you reading what I’m saying?

2025-07-27 17:47:58 UTC

Why don’t we enable extra block space only to be used for the necessary scripting needed to support L2?
That way we could:
- continue having space for L1 transactions unaffected
- continue having nodes that only check l1 if they want to
- extra space would provide dedicated block market to increase security budget
Currently we are making below 2k usd on frees… it’ll need to go up to 15million per bitcoin to support current revenue per block
Pretty sure we will hit that value one day but even if we do, it may still fall short on revenue per block so finding newer revenue sources cannot be underestimated and what I’m suggesting would give bitcoin added features through other layers

2025-07-20 18:32:07 UTC

kinda like cashu, I installed it on two different apps and started moving money around. I do see the potential there where we own the money, private etc... yet I'm struggling to understand what would make it a real alternative for regular users
@nprofile…j6zy can the protocol be extended to support for instance USDT on Cashu? if that's the case then.. having the possibility to exchange P2P BTC with USDT on Cashu privately could make it powerful
for pure btc only, given that you would only have a fraction of pocket money on cashu as mints are centralized, I see complex having money from so many mints even if there is cross mint swaps. but if you add stuff like bringing USDT on cashu then I think it becomes more interesting

What is the value of a descentralized chain when you use a centralized DeFi protocol?
What is the value of a descentralized.chain and protocol if you are using a centralized token?
What is the value of having all of them descentralized but you used them through an exchange
Descentralization is a spectrum and some times you just value one peace of it as it unlocks certain use cases
The drama in ethereum camp is that they started creating a whole world of scams and centralized protocols where they abused the word descentralization as they realized most of their users only wanted quick money and didn’t care much.. so then it comes Solana which is much more centralized and took advantage of it making the UX cleaner for the user who is not worried with centralization of some aspects
Now the eth camp is worried about figuring out the message because they will never be as solid and sound as bitcoin but they can’t convince solana users to come back as they don’t care those features eth has

This event in Singapore where Vitalik was singing a song is showing you the disaster happening in that space
I truly believe that, as a bitcoiner, strong believer of the financial renaissance that bitcoin brought, it’s hard to find “descentralizad finance” as something bad. In fact, it’s a great complement to bitcoin idea and I wish one day we can do more even with some new bitcoin op codes
But on the other camp I still see one project after the other that add no value other than to VCs and few insiders. It’s a pity because I also see smart people traveling all over funded by those useless projects instead of having all that brain power focused on building for the real needs
Our events in the bitcoin camp are in many cases just repeating same stuff over and over which is also concerning me because I see a great opportunity to try, experiment and do it right within the bitcoin ecosystem

2024-09-08 13:20:15 UTC

I don’t understand much about US laws and constitution but I’m still wondering why people think that 2nd amendment protects citizens from tyrannical government?
Let’s think for a bit:
- if a tyrannical government takes control, and assuming they control the army.. your guns at home are just like a water gun compared to the army’s fire power
- if a tyrannical government comes, constitution becomes useless and they can ban normal people to buy ammo and new guns
So unless most homes in the US has war level weapons, tanks, jets, and and enough ammunition.. then you will still have problems defending from a tyrannical government.
I hope that’ll never happen obviously but I’m still curious to understand why constitution is even relevant in the event a tyrant takes control

There is a conflictive narrative in some parts of the world
On the one side we all want freedom and free markets
On the other side they all want import tariffs to block “other markets to steal local jobs” and they want “tighter immigration rules” for similar reason
So how does that work?. If you truly believe that markets in the end will adjust themselves why would you put restrictions on tariffs?. Why would you limit how many immigrant workers can come to your country?
I live in Argentina were, at some point in our history, immigration size was much bigger than the total population of the country .. waves of low class workers just finding some hope here.. escaping from wars and poverty in Europe at the time …
I can imagine what our country would be like if all that people wouldn’t have been allowed to enter
Then people from Paraguay Bolivia came in millions .. replacing some labor work from locals and here we are
Then Chinese.. basically taking over most of small neighborhoods super market jobs and here we are
Then Venezuelans came blending into our society across all levels escaping from dictatorship
Just a thought

Pray for Venezuela.
It’s really going to be very very bad if Maduro manages to continue in power

If the streetlight is in the corner and you want the green to las longer in one direction than the other breaking the efficiency of all other 20 streetlights that were in sync? You can’t think of “my street” in any of those decisions

Having seen most DAOs today corruption is also there in different forms

There is some people out here that are suggesting we should use DAOs for everything and ley me try to explain why I think it’s crazy even if it’s technologically possible
For one second, close your eyes and think of a world were absolutely everything requieres you to align and vote
Even on simple things like what time the street lights go off, urbanism rules, how to synch the traffic light, what should be the content of your kids school, discussions about foreign policies , agreements on replacing the electric grid in your neighborhood for one that is more reliable, agreements on extending the metro line, discussions on how to allocate the budget of your city, town, country etc
And in addition to that, you also need to stay up to date on your career to remain competitive and also spend hours at work
Now, open your eyes… would that be possible?
Some people would say; ok you can delegate but how can I even know who is best across so many different topics. I wouldn’t have time to do that
So then you go back to delegating to a bigger entity that will in general have some principles that you agree with and then you delegate to them so they assign experts on every topic (even if then, those are not real experts)
So now we are back to where we are today
