Different use case. Blockchain solves "distributed ledger". Nostr solves "uncensorable voice".
A blockchain for nostr would only be useful in the sense of being an immutable historic record of what someone said. It's just not that important of a property.

> “Social consensus” is basically you saying that code decisions should be made based on the number of people on subreddits you can get agreeing with you. This is not how sane development processes work.
I'm not advocating this. Yes, that is absurd.
People have their entire life savings in this tech. Core acts with callous indifference, and outright mockery. That is a problem for a cornerstone project.
They do indeed owe it to the Bitcoin community to thoroughly, and repeated explain themselves. Who do they work for? What's the point of being a Core dev if you don't give a fuck about the community, education and consensus.
The larger Bitcoin gets, the more people depend on it, the slower development must become - and the amount of time spent on education must rise to match the audience. You no longer just move fast and add features or change things without thoroughly explaining yourself.
> They relentlessly said this shit for years to demand Core people implement suicidal policies that would have destroyed the decentralized nature of #Bitcoin
I'm sure they were asking for features instead of ossification. Not comparable, as now it is Core *pushing* changes.
Not only changing the data carrier limit, also changing what it means and ALSO deprecating the option to remove the choice from the node runner.
Completely violating the spirit of Bitcoin: individual sovereignty.

The Core people are astoundingly unserious.

Slippery slope != “speculation of effect”
As linked, the slippery slope depends on how strong the causal argument is.
This change, objectively, *increases the attack surface* on Bitcoin in exchange for a UTXO set that is a tad more prunable.
That’s a fact.
How much damage this will do to Bitcoin is unknown. That’s true from Core’s side as well.

Yeah.
Green threads are also not that useful on the client.
You often need to do operations on particular threads (eg macOS forces the main thread to b white GUI thread).
In cases where thread identity matters goroutines get in the way.
If Go had a way to drop into manual memory management for a block of code I’d be down with that.

I think Go is great.
I've used it for a similar duration. But I've come to realize it's significant flaws. It doesn't bring me joy anymore.
I think you're misunderstanding Odin, it's Go but with more consistent syntax, and lower-level control.
No GC, but instead allocators and full control over memory.
I'll respond to you a bit more in depth because I find this interesting.
> i'm not fond of languages that use :: at all, at all.
That's curious. Go and Odin both derive from Pascal.
In my mind :: for constant binding is far more consistent with := style variable binding.
Go gives you := without the true grammar behind it, which is <ident> : <type> = <expr>, where the type is simply inferred in the common case.
Perhaps :: gives you flashbacks to Cpp and Rust, which use it in a totally different way.
> structural typing, not object/inheritance. composition not inheritance.
Odin doesn't have inheritance. Has structural typing similar to Go.
> and it has needlessly verbose and specific repetition in the iterators, where `for _,_ := range X` but also `for init(); check(); iterate()' C style if you need to use that for whatever reason, and can even do a forever loop with nothing but for {} which is a construct that doesn't make much sense without callbacks or channel selectors
I'm not really sure if you're talking about Go or Odin here.
Odin lets you define iterators as *any* procedure that returns a value and a boolean. This is vastly more ergonomic and simply compared to Go's new yield-callback iterators.
Odin's loop syntax is "for v, k in iterable". No range keyword.
Here's an example of how easy it is to define iterators and use them.
```
package main
import "core:fmt"
// next advances a slice by one.
next :: proc(items: ^[]int) -> (t: int, ok: bool) {
if len(items) == 0 {
return t, false
}
defer items^ = items[1:]
return items[0], true
}
main :: proc() {
items := []int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
for v in next(&items) {
fmt.println(v)
}
}
```
> this general principle towards clean, unambiguous semantics by avoiding stutter and boilerplate fluff.
Odin is perfect for this.
> you can't really take anything away from Go's syntax and still have somehting usable.
You can take away methods. You can take away channel syntax (can just be builtin funcs). You can take away redunant var,const keywords.
> languages that don't have interfaces promote bad habits of interface design in general
I think most uses of interfaces a poor. Interfaces should be for the boundaries of subcomponents, rather than the default abstraction. Most things don't need to be polymorphic. You pay a large penalty for that with boxing and indirection.
An interface reduces to a function pointer + a data pointer. You can achieve any interface you want with that.
Odin has no "interface" concept built in, yet interfaces are used easily, such as with IO streams and allocators.
Here's the allocator interface in Odin (proc + data):
```
Allocator :: struct {
procedure: Allocator_Proc,
data: rawptr,
}
```
> and languages that don't have CSP style concurrency with first class select/channel and coroutines are a pain to write dynamic, server type code with
The channel (threadsafe queue) concept is fantastic, and is replicated in most languages these days. Rust, Zig, and Odin all have channels, though Zig doesn't ship it in the core library.
Go popularized the idea and baked in syntax for it, but it's not like you have to use Go to get channels.
I think Go is decent, and its small language footprint is usually to its benefit.
I also think that Odin does a great job at improving on the aesthetics underlying Go's design.
Anyway, that's just my thoughts these days!

Fantastic.
I would add that fiat is actually the wrong term.
The free market *might* have room for an inflationary money, which wouldn’t be considered fiat.
What makes for fiat is the coercion underlying it.
You could technically have Bitcoin by fiat - nation state demands that commerce accepts it and taxes are paid in it.
We conflate fiat with inflation because they have always gone hand-in-hand.
The idea that power would voluntarily resist the urge to print (to arb the Cantillon effect) is both theoretically unlikely and empirically never happened.

I agree.
I think Go was specifically designed to require less context by the reader, and that is likely to help out with LLMs.

It’s even better than Go in this regard. It’s highly consistent. Maybe the most readable language I’ve come across.

Speculation that it “probably won’t matter” legally (for now) doesn’t really matter.
It doesn’t change the fact that this is a category shift from not being able to store plaintext images directly on the blockchain, to being able to do so trivially.
Arguing margins is irrelevant in the face of a category shift.
Objectively speaking: the attack surface will be widened.
This is a problem regardless of whether the new attack vector is ever actually exploited.

That is the power of a default.
Don’t let anyone trivialise how important changing a default setting can be.

Bitcoiners tend to be optimistic people.
You need to believe in paradigm shifts. That the solution is true and not just a mirage designed to manipulate you.
You need to have a large degree of vision, openness and faith. This is why Bitcoin attracts a lot of Christians. They are familiar with employing faith.
Many people are trapped in bottomless jaded cynicism - and rightly so! In many ways the world has conspired against you. The manipulation and lies of the world can seem endless.
Be careful. Too much cynicism and you will refuse to accept that a “solution” to the control system can even exist in the first place.
At a deep emotional level you refuse to believe something true can exist.
That something worthy of hope will actually fulfil its promise, rather than being used as the carrot you can never reach.
Such people believe Bitcoin to be nothing more than the honey pot of an intelligence agency, or a Ponzi scheme, or both.
That even if Bitcoin is true, at least I wasn’t mislead and manipulated! At least I wasn’t scammed.
The eternal pessimist will miss Bitcoin.

The simple argument against veganism: by providing animal husbandry we can give animals a good life, in exchange for their produce. This is a win-win for humanity and the animal.
In practice the vegans are correct about the horrors of factory farming.
But they synthesise the wrong principles from it (that humans are bad for consuming).
Factory farming comes not out of capitalist greed, but a bad moral foundation. Humanity needs to learn to treat itself better before we can treat animals better.

Truth destroys delusions and takes away the associated secondary gain.
Delusions aren't totally irrational, they have a secondary gain to them or they wouldn't exist. People don't believe falsehoods without some kind of benefit.
Imagine significantly benefiting from the delusion that the control of money should be centralized under power. Would such a person benefiting from this system see the truth in Bitcoin? No. They'll call it "rat poison squared", because it threatens their entire wealth stack.
Imagine a dole-bludger sponging off the taxpayer. How keen are they on the idea of lowering taxes? They will fight you tooth and nail, because you are threatening their very "income".

Ultimately the benefits of delusion are short term, unstable and parasitic.

Society has encoded valuable ideas that we should conserve, yet some ideas are wrong or incomplete and should be progressed.
In recent history progressivism has been overstimulated in society due to the perception of infinite wealth via government debt.
This perception increases risk taking and experimental behaviours as we perceive a large safety margin to tolerate the risk.
However this perception is a façade. Resources are indeed finite, and the safety margin is much smaller than it seems.
As we transition to a hard money standard, we will see a trend back toward conservatism.
There’s a delicate balance between tradition and change that we cannot regulate effectively while under delusions of “infinite” money.

All emotions serve a purpose.
None are inherently “toxic”. The toxicity is in the way they are mishandled.
Hatred is immensely important for protecting what you value.
For instance, if you didn’t hate evil, you would let in into your life and it would destroy what you love.
To love a value is to hate what threatens it.
If you have no hate, you have no values worth protecting.
In the same way, people who don’t feel pain are in endless danger because they cannot identify it.

Hard Money prevents war as we’ve known it.
All wars in modern history are funded through coercion.
If the US had to beg its citizens to contribute $10k per year to fund a “retaliatory invasion”, people would have to truly confront their rage as a personal cost. Most would abate.
It would give those who disagree with the war a way to truly cast their vote and keep their conscience clean by simply refusing to pay.
It would put the burden of the war directly on the shoulders of the warmongers. Put your own money where your mouth is, not mine.
Soft Money lowers the friction for theft to basically zero. Even if you refused to pay taxes, they would just print the money. They don’t need your permission. In fact, they get to pass off inflation as a market phenomenon, blaming “greedy” market actors for “price gouging”.
This is how Bitcoin stops war.

Bitcoin has technically changed over time yes, but it's identity is clear. Bitcoin having changed over time doesn't mean that any additional change is valid.
The appeal is not to the exact written text of the white paper, but to the explicit identity of the technology. It is a cash system. That's why people like it, that's why people use it. In terms of storing and transmitting multi-media, there's much more appropriate and better ways.
This mirrors the legal concept known as the "spirit of the law": the meaning of the law when it was written. Following the law literally can sometimes violate the spirit in which is was written.
The spirit of Bitcoin is as the title of the paper suggests. If we wind up going from a "cash system" to "multi-media system", we've made a wrong turn. Putting multi media on Bitcoin simply because you can is violating the spirit of Bitcoin.
To use a crude analogy:
You could encode image data into a series of electronic bank transfer "reference" fields by breaking it up into tiny chunks and making a lot of transfers. It's obvious to anyone that this is not the point of those fields. Violating the intent of the system is how we categorize "hacks" from proper use.
Appealing to the identity of a bank as a "financial institution" is not invalidated by the mere fact that banking has evolved over time or that people can hack it.

By removing the ability for Bitcoin Core clients to self-configure the OP_RETURN limit, Core devs are actually censoring those who wish to apply the filters (by their own definition of censorship).
If we didn't have Knots already available, we would have to scramble to build a new client. One that actually provides us with the ability to express our opinion over what happens on our hardware and mempools.
It's clear that Core isn't anti-censorship, but ironically pro-censorship.
They do not want you to even have the ability to set the filter. That is top-down decision making from a position of power.
What, are they afraid of the free-market? No! Because they literally cite the free-market to support their position. This is philosophically incongruent.
Alas, people don't seem to grasp what censorship actually is. Individuals not wanting to listen to other individuals is ostracism, not censorship.
Censorship is when power silences speech, not when individuals ignore speech.
I am not obligated to have any given transaction in my mempool, therefore I retain the right to ostracise whatever transactions I dislike.
If you think that's harmful to the network, then you can put in the work to convince me to adjust my filters - not rush through an update that completely takes away my ability to even have a filter.

> You want bitcoin to be a monetary network (and by your measure it very well might be). This won't be absolutely true until it is unanimously used as such by all humans on this planet. Until then, the absolute truth is that bitcoin is a messaging system (based on concise design of the code being run)
This feels like "death of the author". Bitcoin's identity is plain and clear: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". This is not actually up for debate. If you want a generic P2P messaging system, then build or use one (not the thing self-identifying as a "cash system").
To reduce Bitcoin to a "messaging system" is a category error. Language is a messaging system, but it's not Bitcoin. Fiat is a messaging system, but it's not Bitcoin. Nostr is a messaging system, but it's not Bitcoin. You get the point.
Reducing cars and planes to the category "vehicle" serves only to muddy the waters when figuring out the best way to travel to your local grocer or 12000km over an ocean.
> I agree with point 2. The only problem here is that what is considered 'illicit' or undesirable changes throughout history. This creates a constant power struggle over the narrative of what is subjectively undesirable to the largest cohort of humans
By defining Bitcoin as "monetary" we completely sidestep any need to have consensus on what is considered illicit material. We can agree that money is not illicit, and that provides the stable foundation.
This becomes just another reason not to allow arbitrary data on the Bitcoin blockchain: we cannot know what multi media will fall out of the Overton window and thus should exclude multi media entirely. Completely side-steps the problem.
Thanks for the discussion, 👍

Bitcoin is "Peer to Peer Electronic Cash", not "Immutable JPEG Ledger".
Non-monetary data (and those who promote it) should be treated with extreme prejudice.

CSAM on Bitcoin is everyone’s problem.
You would have to have that material in plaintext on your device as your node validates it.
With nostr this is not the case. Nostr doesn’t have a blockchain that you _must_ download, with plaintext blobs you _must_ process. You can avoid it.
Three additional points:
1. Bitcoin is a monetary network. It shouldn’t be polluted with multimedia at all.
2. Centralised and regulated platforms also have this material on them.
3. Nostr relays have the option to detect and deny illicit material, just like a regulated and centralised platform.

Censorship is a top-down phenomenon, where information is suppressed by power.
Individuals performing ostracism is _not_ censorship.
Not wanting to listen to someone is _not_ censorship. Likewise, not wanting non-monetary transactions in my mempool is _not_ censorship.
It's not virtuous to be pro-spam, and you're certainly not "anti-censorship".
(To be pedantic, you could actually use spam as a _form of censorship_ by crowding out good information!)

Do not be an obligate producer.
Working a job to get by.
Find out what you deeply care about, and execute on it.

#milkchain instead of #coffeechain today.
Very gratifying to get milk from local organic farmers.
The cows are happy and healthy, free to roam and free from industrial chemicals.
Real people are adding value to each other, not some ultra massive corporate entity.

I have a tip for you!
Use low heat and immediately cool it when it starts flowing fast.
It should taste less butter because the bitter compounds are dissolved last.

Quantum threatens the entire digital world.
Your cash in the bank (and much, much more) would be just as under threat (or more so) than Bitcoin.
Bitcoin however, already has proposals for quantum resistant cryptography and the community is actively concerned and preparing.
If the quantum threat occurs, Bitcoin will shine as the quantum resistant digital money while everything else gets hacked.
Thoughts?

Scarcity is the important property.

Would be very good for you, Jor and Forest to weigh in on this important topic.
