@opnetbtc Obvious scam that will fail like all the ones bf. Question is how many retards can you get on board bf you rug them? The insane amount of bots commenting is almost laughable. Like you dipshits aren’t even hiding it 😂

OP_NET IS LIVE ON BITCOIN MAINNET Smart contracts are now running natively on Bitcoin L1. Sound money, now programmable.

@ProfessorBigz @DukeDukingtonRD But if 110 activates those that want looser rules would have to hard fork. The 110 chain w stricter rules would become the main chain as all nodes would verify its blocks, but not the other way around. I think that’s what he’s pointing out.

@DukeDukingtonRD I won’t be going anywhere shitcoiner, you will with your shitcoin fork.

Retards like this can’t get out of Bitcoin fast enough. They are either too stupid to realize or paid too much to admit that BIP 110 is what ensures Bitcoin will never be sound money. At this point, ‘Monetary Maximalist’ just means, “I have no clue how Bitcoin or money works, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night.””Give me BIP 110 or give me Bitcoin death” says the petulant toddler. These people have never been Bitcoiners.

@baclfoo @cguida6 @callebtc mNeMoNiC Holy shit dude, are you trying to have a conversation or show us all how smart you think you are. You couldn’t prove your point & got called out. Either give your rebuttal by answering simple questions or fuck off.

@cguida6 @callebtc i'm saying that your mnemonic is irrelevant when it comes to the introduction of standardness. your rhetoric appears mostly informed by your bias, and slightly informed by facts. you are handwaving.

This is a long post that hopefully bridges some gaps between technical people (devs) and non-technical users and how they look at spam prevention in Bitcoin. I hope that it clarifies why I think that there is such a huge misunderstanding between both camps. I'll preface this post with first disqualifying any malicious attempts to misrepresent the motives of either camp. Everybody wants to improve Bitcoin as money. Money is Bitcoin's use case. It's not a data storage system. If you think otherwise, there are countless shitcoins to play with. Alright, let's get into it. I have worked on anonymous systems for over a decade. I have read tons of research on spam detection, rate-limiting, and I've implemented spam prevention techniques in the real world. I am very confident to say that there is not a single known method to prevent spam in decentralized anonymous open networks other than proof of work. This is what Satoshi realized when he designed Bitcoin and it's why only transaction fees can reliably fight spam without sacrificing any of Bitcoin's properties. Let me explain. Spam prevention is a cat and mouse game. As a system's architect, your goal is to make the life of a spammer harder (increase the friction). This is why, on the web, you see captchas, sign-ups, or anything that can artificially slow you down. Slowing down is key. This is why Satoshi turned to proof of work. Let's contrast this to other methods for spam prevention. This is not an exhaustive list but it illustrates the design space of this problem, other methods are often derivatives of these: CAPTCHAS are a centralized form of proof of work for humans: Google's servers give you a hard-to-solve task (select all bicycles) that will slow you down so that you can't bombard a website with millions of requests. It requires centralization: you need to prove Google that you're human so that you can use another website. If you could host your own CAPTCHA service, why would anyone believe you're not cheating? LOGINS with email and passwords are most popular way to slow down users. Before you can sign up, you need to get an email address, and to get an email address, you often need a phone number today. The purpose of this is, again, to slow you down (and to track you to be honest). It only works well when emails are hard to get, i.e. in a centralized web where Google controls how hard it is to get an email account. If you could easily use your own email server, why would anyone believe you're not a bot? The next one is the most relevant to Bitcoin: AD BLOCK FILTERS are another form of spam prevention but this time the roles are reversed: you as a user fight against the spam from websites and advertising companies trying to invade your brain. Ad blocking works only under certain conditions: First you need to be able to "spell out" what the spam looks like, i.e. what the filter should filter out. Second, you need to update your filters every time someone circumvents them. Have you ever installed a youtube ad blocker and then noticed that it stops working after a few weeks? That's because you're playing cat-and-mouse with youtube. You block, they circumvent, you update your filters, repeat. The fact that you need to update your filters is critical and that's where it ties back to Bitcoin: Suppose you have a mempool filter for transactions with a locktime of 21 because some stupid NFT project uses that. You maybe slow them down for a few weeks, but then they notice it and change their locktime to 22. You're back at zero, the spam filter doesn't work anymore. What do you do? You update your filter! But where do you get your new filter from? You need a governing body, or some centralized entity that keeps updating these filters and you need to download their new rules every single day. That's what ad blockers in your web browser do. They trust a centralized authority to know what's best for you, and blindly accept their new filters. Every single day. I hope you see the issue here. Nobody should even consider this idea of constantly updating filter rules in Bitcoin. This would give the filter providers a concerning level of power and trust. It would turn Bitcoin into a centrally planned system, the opposite of what makes Bitcoin special. This is why filters do not work for decentralized anonymous systems. They require a central authority. Until now, these rules were determined by Bitcoin Core, but they have realized that these rules do not work anymore. Transactions bypass the filters easily and at some point, carrying them around became a burden to the node runners themselves. Imagine you're using an outdated ad blocker but instead of filtering out ads, it now also filters out legitimate content you might be interested in. That's what mempool filters do, and that's why Bitcoin Core is slowly relaxing these filters. This has been discussed for over two years, it's not a sudden decision. The goal of this change is not to help transactions to slip through more easily. The goal is to improve your node's prediction of what is going to be in the next block. Most people misrepresent this part. They say "it's to turn Bitcoin into a shitcoin" but that is just a false statement at best, or a manipulation tactic at worst. Let's tie it back to proof of work and why fees are the actual filter that keeps Bitcoin secure and prevents spam reasonably well: Satoshi realized that there is no technique that could slow down block production and prevent denial of service attacks in a decentralized system other than proof of work. Fees prevent you from filling blocks with an infinite number of transactions. All the other options would introduce some form of trust or open the door for censorship – nothing works other than proof of work. He was smart enough to design a system where the proof of work that goes into block production is "minted" into the monetary unit of the system itself: You spend energy, you get sats (mining). This slows down block production. How do you slow down transactions within those blocks? You spend the sats themselves, original earned form block production, as fees for the transactions within the block! This idea is truly genius and it's the only reason why Bitcoin can exist. All other attempts of creating decentralized money have failed to solve this step. Think about it: without knowing who you are, whether you're one person pretending to be a thousand, or a thousand people pretending to be one. Bitcoin defends itself (and anyone who runs nodes in the Bitcoin system) from spam by making you pay for your activity. People sometimes counter this by saying: the economic demand for decentralized data storage is higher than the monetary use case. First of all, I think that's just wrong. There are way cheaper ways to store data (there are shitcoins for this), and the value of having decentralized neutral internet money is beyond comparison. However, there's a much deeper concern here. If you truly believe this, I ask you: what is Bitcoin worth to you? If you think Bitcoin can't succeed as money (i.e. be competitive), why do you even care? If you're not willing to pay fees for the use case that we all believe Bitcoin is designed for (money), and you believe that no one is willing to pay for it, how can it even persist into the future? You can't have it all. If Bitcoin is money (which I believe it is), then we need to pay the price to keep it alive. There is no free lunch. Either we centralize, or we pay the price of decentralization. I know where I stand. Peace.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if I see an ad auto playing on the video you posted I just assume your content is trash & mewt you. Know several others that do the same. Mostly big media accts that do this video ad slop, like I said…trash.

@heatcats_ghost @SaveStandard Yeah great. The govt doesn’t have to steal an hr from us so you can enjoy “extra daylight in the evening”. We all are getting an hr stolen from us bc you can’t figure out how to arrange your schedule. It’s destructive & unhealthy for all of us.

@choderogan_ @SaveStandard I understand plenty. Days get longer in the summer, and shorter in the winter. I'm not as stupid as you think I am. I'm in the northern US and I'd rather enjoy extra daylight in the evening, even in winter; than have the sun rise at 4am in the SUMMER when people are asleep.

Big Golf: “Let’s keep changing the clocks… or better yet, make DST permanent!” Everyone else: “How about we just end DST and stick with Standard (natural) Time?”

@heatcats_ghost @SaveStandard So you don’t understand how seasons work. Holy shit how are people this stupid? It’s crazy

@SaveStandard Not me - fuck standard time. I'd rather have the extra hour of daylight in the evening to enjoy after work than wasting it in the morning before work with a 4am sunrise. However, permanent standard time is necessary in some places like Boise with 8am sunrises in the winter.

@OP_NETARD @elkrun21 BIP 110 is only the beginning, more will come after, you’ll hate your life in the end. You don’t force your trash onto Bitcoin, you build support & show why your use case is valuable. Guarantee you’ll be done within the year. There’s a lot of us & we’re relentless.

@elkrun21 damn bro u called my response before I typed! unfortunately no one outside of your weirdo little echo chamber cares about bip110 its going nowhere

The folks in the OPNet ecosystem have been busy the past 24 hours. In one day they've added 33 dApps, 408 in total now. vibecode.finance/ecosystem?sort… Let's see what they've been up to. BTCasino, Crowd Oracle (prediction market), OPALDO (NFT marketplace), SatDisk (personal data storage), etc, etc, etc... 👇 On March 17th, all this will be on the Bitcoin network ... on your node ... on my node. A heavy burden of non-bitcoin related stuff that really does threaten decentralization. What's even more concerning, imo, are the MALINCENTIVES this introduces. With every new proposal to "improve" Bitcoin we have to ask: Who is the primary beneficiary? Is it the plebs who just want immutable money, or is it the VCs who want a return on their speculative investments. Is the proposal written to improve the sending, storing and receiving of bitcoin? Or is it to "improve" playing games, predicting markets, trading NFTs and storing personal data on Bitcoin? And remember, OPNet and their $5M of VC/Angel backing is just the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds of millions of VC/Angel dollars behind dozens of companies doing similar stuff. I predict come March 17th we'll see a significant increase in arbitrary data on Bitcoin. Currently about 40% of all bitcoin transactions consist of non-financial data. That's data that's in no way needed to send, store and receive bitcoin. I predict we'll jump significantly above that starting March 17th. We'll see. You can track it here: thebitcoinportal.com/onchain/spam-a… This can be mitigated (without censorship or subjective filtering whatsoever). Not stopped entirely, but significantly hindered ... enough to meaningfully disincentivize the flow of money responsible for putting non-bitcoin stuff on Bitcoin. It's not hard to find out how. I encourage you to act if you care about immutable money.

@KeithASexton54 @stephjenks941 @Marshals_RRABL “Everyone understands seasons”… to show that he clearly doesn’t understand seasons. Can’t make this up, you people are so fucking stupid 😂

@stephjenks941 @Marshals_RRABL Everyone understands seasons. People enjoy summer and later sunsets. I'm convinced people like you enjoy darkness. It is not a big deal you will get your way in November, when you can enjoy darkness at. 5:00 PM. To most people that is depressing. Abolish standard time

People in Arizona (a golf state btw!) have lived happily on permanent standard time for decades. "But not everyone lives in Arizona!" they might say. Ok, that's obvious and true. Here's another truism: Everyone lives someplace where the sun reaches its zenith. That zenith (or something pretty close) is what generations of people commonly called "noon." And noon, of course, was historically pegged to 12pm. Daylight increases and decreases based on latitude. But "noon" remains relatively constant. Get up when you want. Go to sleep when you want. It's called freedom. Something they enjoy in Arizona. But for the government to intrude and say that 1pm or even 2pm is the new noon, that's just Idiotic. Government. Overreach. DST = GMT (Government Meddling Time) @SaveStandard

@mrdollar_eth @1914ad What you’re not understanding is that no one cares about your stupid app, it’s specifically that those of us that run nodes have to store it. So you’re an intrusive parasite that needs to be eliminated from Bitcoin. And you will be.

Something called “ProofOfMeme” is now live on Bitcoin L1 but BIP-110 that patches the inscriptions exploit is… “an attack on Bitcoin.”

@TheBCHPodcast @isabelfoxenduke Bruh this is not the flex you think it is. You idiots don’t realize how unforgiving this group is, you trash peddlers don’t have the conviction for this game. They simply won’t stop until you two retards leave. 🤡 🤡

New anti-spam Hijacking Bitcoin conspiracy theory just dropped! 😂😂 Congratulations to @isabelfoxenduke on doing so much heavy lifting in the BTC ecosystem that she's getting investigated for... doing so much heavy lifting in the BTC ecosystem. 💪

@TheMiamiApe Yeah stop paying. What the actual fuck would anyone still be complicit in this? Americans have become spineless holy shit

Doing taxes this year just feels wrong after all the scams we’ve seen.

@Beautymark_99 😆 wut School is where they teach you to be a stupid NPC Nothing has been worse for me than the education system Dept of education needs to be abolished

Lack of education is the reason this nation is failing.

@sofresh_sobleam @megynkelly Why does she look like one of those insect aliens? 😳

Megyn: “we’re been friend for 15 years!” Ben: “we’ve been FRIENDLY, I did stuff for her for free” Sobering reminder for u Goys that jews don’t view u as friends To you it’s a “15 year friendship” To the jew it’s “a series of transactions over 15 years” @megynkelly Will the goyïm ever learn?

@SallyMayweather He’s finding out the news in real time on X like the rest of us 🤷‍♂️

10-1 Trump didn’t know what the Strait of Hormuz was until last week

@blackbird4032 @SallyMayweather Don’t think trump is gonna fuck you bro…he’s more into children n shit

@SallyMayweather This is your dumbest post so far. Lmfao more like you didn’t know …

@kurtmetzger Same niggas claiming TRIMP is ai slop Fukk em

Black pilled losers will claim this is just “AI slop” based on one of my dumbest standup bits! However, much like country music legend, Toby Jesus, I refuse to be a doomer!

Iran is more America first than the Epstien administration

@kurtmetzger Bruh wtf 😳

Can anyone guess what disgusting country full of racist psychopaths is having this debate? (HINT: it ain’t Qatar!)

@danheld You should disclose your conflict of interest with posts like this. You’re being deceitful here, we all know you have a financial incentive to spam the chain. Disclose it so everyone can make up their own minds.

BIP-110 is an attack on Bitcoin. An attack run by those who espouse the same ideals as bcashers, are intellectually dishonest, and fundamentally misunderstand how Bitcoin works. Bitcoin’s most retarded enemy so far 😂
