OK, so what do you call the code that implements the Bitcoin protocol? You can't have machines execute protocols directly (just like TCP/IP)....
Semi-related to Bitcoin updates, @Space Ghost / @DonnyMost / etc what do you think of inscriptions/ordinals? Seems to be dying off in hype, though...
Based on what you're saying here and what I see elsewhere on Google, yeah you're just talking about breaking changes. I guess crypto people have...
Honestly, I haven't bothered to keep up with Bitcoin exploits/vulnerabilities either (except for the one I initially shared). I'm aware of the...
Um not sure why you keep bringing up closed source software. For reference, the log4j exploit I mentioned existed in OSS, and there's actually an...
Who is talking about forks? We're talking about the potential for exploits in the actual Bitcoin code everyone is using (although I suspect some...
I was talking about the claim of censorship resistance for Bitcoin (or any crypto), not so much a 51% attack. I suppose there could be a semantics...
Came across this recently: https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/issues/3243 He created the issue in the Dogecoin repo, but mentions the issue...
Thanks to the extremely fascist and authoritarian Canadians (yes that's tongue in cheek), I do have some ideas.
I'm not sure "hey people send fiat money to bad people too" is necessarily all that convincing of an argument, especially since those typically...
Didn't see the edit originally. I actually don't disagree with this, but apparently it's not obvious how this works given the arguments from some...
I think compared to the "BTC mining is a battery" analogy commonly presented by Bitcoiners, this analogy seems much closer to reality. Also makes...
https://www.canarymedia.com/podcasts/catalyst-with-shayle-kann/the-great-bitcoin-energy-debate [MEDIA] I think this debunks some of the...
I do think this is the most logical argument presented in this entire thread. Perhaps even the entire BBS.
Um (shout out to Amen!) because I was originally responding to this: There's also agreeing with the literal words mentioned vs the intention...
1. Sure, I guess. And I think that's a good thing given the purposes behind fiat as a currency. 2. Sure, and again, I like that design...
I felt his analogies were more misleading than too abstract. I'm not opposed to using analogies in general, but the way Saylor used them seemed...
Agree to disagree about pretty much all this. Touched on these topics some, but I think I can't really add more without this turning into...
Yeah I know you (and probably a lot of Bitcoiners/Crypto folks) don't trust experts, especially if they disagree with your conclusions. I operate...
Saylor can bring up all the analogies about oxygen, blood, houses in the Hamptons, etc., but I'm not sure his rambling is all that compelling...
