Italy, 2021. An underage kid (healthy, thus *not* carrying diseases) refuse to wear a facial mask in his classroom. Local "authorities" send armed cops to assault him, handcuff him on the ground, drug him, imprison him in a psychiatric asylum for *days*.https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/fano/cronaca/tso-studente-1.6331153

You anarchist hippies can say what you want, but the truth is that COMPLIANCE is very important!!!Eventually, all the employees of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) will have to make sure their nodes are fully compliant with the Bitcoin Regulation (consensus rules).

@gchaincl Good point. Initial supply. But with PoS, they can avoid dilution forever.

There was a little man in China, who though he was a god. His name was J. W. He wanted to beat down #Bitcoin, but #Bitcoin beat him down instead. Now ther is a little man in California, who think he is a god. His name is E. M. Spoiler alert: it ends the same.

"Crypto" diversification must be the best litmus test ever for stupidity (or dishonesty). How dumb must you be (or your targets) not to see that shitcoins dump when famous people criticize Bitcoin? Or that "altseasons" are always perfectly in sync with Bitcoin's halving cycles?

Aggregating bitcoin & shitcoin-scams into the same "Crypto industry" makes just as much sense as aggregating astrophysics & astrology-scams into the same "Astro industry".

Yes, Bitcoin doesn't care about social attacks, and it most likely already won. Yes, Bitcoiners DO care about social attacks, and that's part of the reasons (together with social/technical inertia, which is admittedly way more important) Bitcoin will win.

@georgevaccaro @pete @jb55 Not just at the time. We don't call out bad takes by influential people because we think they are necessarily going to turn into real threats. We do it because they are bad takes. That's why they don't turn into real threats more often.

@georgevaccaro @pete @jb55 Also, I can't understand what kind of "downfall" may Bitcoin Twitter ever even face. Like, one billionaire guy stops following us on Twitter? So what? Not much of a "downfall". Acceptable risk.

@waxwing Great presentation! Two question, if I may:1) since the goal of the clever PTLC construction is offchain fees for ONCHAIN coinjoins, can't one use something like a current submarine swap plus taproot scriptpath, instead, to grant atomicity?2) can you elaborate about that oddly strong "No" about CISA incentivizing CJ?More details:

@waxwing 1) A current sumbarine swap already grant atomicity between an offchain and an onchain payment. But the non-steganographic component is in the OP_IF/OP_ELSE redeem script. The latter, though, could be hidden in the branch of a scriptpath spending, with Taproot. Moving from HTLCs to PTLCs would still be good for privacy, regardless of this. But wouldn't this be a short term alternative option too, for "offchain fees" in CJ?

@waxwing 2) You mention Jonas' research here as reference for the "No", but many CISA proponents would ideally see CISA as *alternative to* the witness discount (a less arbitrary, more consumption-based way to incentivize UTXOset reduction to "overcompensate post-p2sh incentives"). In that case, without discount, a theoretical 41.2% seems like a BIG DEAL, especially in high-fee scenarios! And improper CJs are still better than nothing for chainanal-heuristic pollution.https://github.com/ElementsProject/cross-input-aggregation/blob/master/savings.org

@waxwing Thanks you very much!Re:"I also don't have much sense of why or how it would change with CISA"wasn't the rationale exactly incentivize UTXOset reduction? CISA would do that too, private or not. @nothingmuch
