@SanJuanBitdevs @itsdonnyok @pizzaninjas Best bitdevs

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday, presenters @SuperTestnet & @itsdonnyok & special thanks to @pizzaninjas for letting us use their new space! There was heated debate, awesome demos, beer/pizza, games, and miners! 🙌

@benthecarman Maybe if you didn't change it so frequently they wouldn't feel compelled to ask all the time #SlowDownMutiny

Mutinynet is getting over a million requests a day just asking the tip height. Blocking some IPs, wtf are you savages doing

@Otoya_Coinjoin @_julian256_ Yes, on X he is @burakaegean

@_julian256_ @SuperTestnet Is He on X?

How Burak explained Ark to me

@luca0x46 @isabelfoxenduke @getfloresta Not storing the utxo set creates a problem similar to the one created by pruned nodes, which is this: if most people prune, and only a few people keep the full data, there is danger that some blockchain data will eventually be permanently lost.

@SuperTestnet @isabelfoxenduke Would the downside be possible data availability issues? I really like @getfloresta flipping the responsibility of data storage from the validating node to the wallets.

What’s your favorite proposal for mitigating the inevitability of an expanding UTXO set other than whining about monkey pictures that no one is currently making or trading anyway? It occurs to me that the UTXO set is likely to expand over time regardless of the potential use of metaprotocols - any fave proposals for how we can make this reality less burdensome to nodes over time? I’m all ears @SuperTestnet

¡Mañana! March @SanJuanBitdevs with @SuperTestnet, @itsdonnyok ...and NerdQAxe++ miners! Don’t miss it!

@Otoya_Coinjoin @isabelfoxenduke Utxo commitments should be a thing in bitcoin too imo

@SuperTestnet @isabelfoxenduke This is not validation and has a worse game theory than the utxo commitents systems of bch, kaspa, and litecoin.

@isabelfoxenduke Forgetful nodes could use heuristics to guess which utxos are spam, and discard them. They need to redownload them later if their guess is wrong, but I suspect the heuristics could be tuned well so that this rarely happens. And then they wouldn't have a spammed-up utxo set.

@isabelfoxenduke The advantage of extending that trust assumption is this: if you're willing to validate everything *except* that one thing, and just trust at least one peer to be honest, then you don't need to keep a copy of the utxo set. Like with pruned nodes, you'd just rely on peers who do.

@francispouliot_ (1) Catholicism did not stop people from reading the Bible in their own language, it encouraged it (2) The Bible says to worship God and to be part of the Church, so the Protestant attempt to encourage Churchless Christianity was (and remains) anti-Biblical

Protestantism started with people that wanted to read the bible in their own language and worship God without the Church... and a few centuries later whoopsies you end up with this

@spacetime_btc @w_s_bitcoin @omgbruce You love it You do

@w_s_bitcoin @omgbruce @SuperTestnet Bloody nerds

Are there any bitcoin utxos worth exactly this amount? 3.14159265

@arcbtc I thought replacing your carpenter with a hammer was just called DIY

Replacing your developer with AI is like replacing your carpenter with a hammer.
