SpectrGen — ₿IP-110/acc

Hashpower chooses more than the next block — it chooses what kind of block gets mined. I’m supplying maintained Knots/BIP-110 money-only templates for miners who want Bitcoin as money, not data storage. Point hash where policy matters.

+ 200000 Templates by Suppliers. “PyBLØCK-Pool, where your #BIP110 Templates have value by default.” More info at: pyblock.xyz:8443

@JoeConsorti I miss bull poasting so badly 🫡

Welcome back, Bitcoin Twitter 🫡

@FlyTheElephant1 It doesn’t seem like most of these fools, like Samson Mow and Andy Back, actually believe in the merits of decentralization. They pay lip service to it, sure, but mostly to preserve their reputations: “I hate spam as much as you do, but…” — then they choose to do nothing.

@SpectrGen You are right about that. They can exert external pressure. But their capital rails are broken until price goes up, and if its crashing, they are going to be rails going out and not in. Will be interesting if they are actually dumb enough to not just adopt it.

This reads like a politician wrote it—empathizing with each faction but ultimately siding with the faction that has the most money

@FlyTheElephant1 You make good points. I’m not saying they have more control over the network than we do — quite the opposite. I was using “money” as shorthand for political power, since those two are unfortunately synonymous in the fiat world. I could’ve worded my perspective more clearly 🫡

It is a lot easier than you think. All the treasuries and etfs are not really accumulating much right now, and they would be running an insane level of risk to accumulate coins on an orphan chaintip that is not in consensus with the whole network, as anyone can dump coins from that orphan chaintip and keep their coins on the tighter chaintip which will force hashrate over, and cause a positive feedback loop. People really really like number go up. Its super dangerous to do what core is doing and there are likely over 1M btc running bip110 right now, and satoshi's coins might also count especially considering the next steps on the core complex path of doing quantum signatures is confiscating the satoshi coins. (no idea if he would actually sell or not, but conditions would be good if any, and also such an event would give him a get out of jail free card to move the coins without scaring anyone on the tighter chain) If they dont comply things will likely be extremely messy and i dont think this is good for any of the financial institutions to just ride out these types of chaotic events. They probably just wanna cry about shit and ask for it to stop before they keep reading and figure it out.

@FlyTheElephant1 Idk, it's pretty hard to beat Strategy, ETFs, treasury companies, Tether, and institutional finance in that department... I agree with you in terms of aggregate individuals though.

Most money or pretends to have it? Im not sure all the people who want jpeg spam have the most money, they are just the ones who want to make money from bitcoin instead of make bitcoin go up. Someone made a post week or two ago asking how long the bip110 noderunners how long they have been in bitcoin saw a lot of people in there who were saying 14 15 and 16 years. My assessment is that most of the bip110 people are just not normally the kind of people who run around and talk. I'm here because I need the network to be healthy and decisions have been made that are very harmful to it. I think I am not the only one.

ChatGPT’s sentiment analysis of Mow’s position: He is siding against BIP110 and in favor of the camp that includes, or at least protects, the highest-capital actors in the dispute: Strategy, ETFs, treasury companies, Tether, institutional finance, miners/mining pools, and the existing Core-centered process. He explicitly praises Strategy, Metaplanet, ETFs, Tether, capital markets, nation-state adoption, and institutional on-ramps, while framing BIP110 supporters as emotionally driven, coercive, low-consensus, and big-blocker-like.

I have been a long time admirer of @Excellion but after reading this I am going to unfollow him because of some of these wrong statements of his: 1. "I believe Bitcoin is money. Bitcoin is also many other things." Bitcoin is money foremost and the base for the other things he listed. Bitcoin is information because it is money. It allows to transmit the value or demand for things. Bitcoin is property because it is money as it allows the store of value. Bitcoin is software yes, but because it is programmed to be money. And so on. If you are going to say Bitcoin is such and such, never forget that Bitcoin is money foremost. That is why any non monetary use of Bitcoin must be harshly condemned, not adorned as wishy-washy feel good use of money. 2. "You Can Disagree and Still Be Allies" This is not a "disagreement", it is a WAR. You can't be allies with the enemy who is actively bent on destroying Bitcoin by infiltrating the development of what was the de facto Bitcoin node implementation: Bitcoin Core. Core allowed Bitcoin to be used for things that is not money such as inscriptions, ordinals, and just outright spam. They are a determined enemy that refuses to back down and fix the mess they caused despite the uproar of plebs. That is clear as day and night and to ally with them is to practically surrender to this enemy. 3. "This isn't that" (2017) It completely is that. Core is directing Bitcoin to self destruction by allowing spam and non monetary use cases. It is being attempted to be taken over by corporate and elites much like during the blocksize war. I was there too and also ran Shaolinfry's UASF. BCasher thought wrongly that Bitcoin was a medium of exchange first, but the root cause of that war was that Ver and Wu wanted to control Bitcoin and ended up trying that with their hard fork, much the same way Core is trying to overtake control Bitcoin now by insidiously weakening the role of nodes. 4. "The tactics that defined the big blockers, the coercion, the emotional appeals, the ultimatums, are the ones showing up on the BIP110 side this time." It is the complete opposite. It is the spammers that use the emotional appeals instead of logical arguments. The most glaring of them all is Adam Back himself. Why are they like that? Because they never cared for Bitcoin as money, but only used to grift and to try to create shitcoins and collectibles such as ordinals on it for no other reason than to grift. 5. "does removing the OP_RETURN limit really change anything? No, because it can be bypassed easily. On top of that, even though they removed the limit in Core v30, you can still run Core v29." This is an outright lie that has been debunked countless times. Before 2025 adding an large OP_RETURN had to be slipstream through a miner/pool willing to risk his reputation or a stale block. You cannot prevent this by running Core V29 because Core has back-ported this to previous versions and because once a large percentage of nodes allowing large OP_RETURNs are running the arbitrary data gets propagated more easily and slipstreaming is no longer required. 6. "The long and short of it is this: Bitcoin is information. There are endless ways to stick other information into Bitcoin transactions." Bitcoin is information because Bitcoin is MONEY. As I said before, money allows to transmit the information of value and demand of product/services. Don't confuse this with "information" (which is really just arbitrary data) that could be put perversely forever on the blockchain. There is a lot more bullshit to uncover from that long post from Mow, but I will stop and take a breather for now.

If anyone is interested in getting started, I just published a secure technical guide for installing and operating a Bitcoin Knots Template Supplier for PyBLOCK Carousel (Debian 12, Systemd, Bitcoin Knots node): gist.github.com/SpectrGen1/07b…

At first, I didn't understand this. Why would anyone pay for a #BIP110 template? Well, it's because it helps decentralize mining pools away from dictating policy, and it helps miners focus on outputting highly compliant blocks without additional effort. Check it out 👇

@_PyBlock_ @curly60e Woah, I didn't know about this! New bookmark🧡

@SpectrGen @curly60e Enjoy your own Mining Pool inside PyBLØCK-Pool: pyblock.xyz:8443/tmpl_view.php?…

If you are a #BIP110 Node-Runner, you can create your own Mining-Pool inside PyBLØCK-Pool sharing your Spam-Free Template and get a slice of the pie. No ASICs, no expenses, no maintenance. Just your template. “PyBLØCK-Pool, where your #BIP110 Templates have value by default.”

Here's the official getting started page for PyBLOCK Carousel template submission: pyblock.xyz:8443/templates.php I also drafted a secure technical setup guide for Debian 12 with Systemd while figuring it out myself, although it might be different depending on the node platform you're using: gist.github.com/SpectrGen1/07b…

@curly60e @_PyBlock_ I'm still learning about it, so I'm glad I was able to do it justice 🫡

Yep @_PyBlock_ Carousel it’s the new idea we created! Thanks @SpectrGen for the detailed effort on this video.

@CaminaDrummer4 Wow. I almost can’t imagine it

@SpectrGen He was a great anti-shitcoin comedian in the past at conferences etc.

For the removal of doubt Giacomo’s position has always been irrelevant and his opinions are based on not understanding Bitcoin and only heard because of the influencer effect. Being a standup comedian— he is good at that— is not the path to follow for technical decisions.
