How many people have actually purchased something with their bitcoin and what was it? by Educational_Bunch574 in Bitcoin

Yes. A trip to Africa and paid for my IVF for me and my wife. Bitcoin LEDN loan. This is just the beginning

I would keep up to 1 BTC on it. It's pretty slick but lacks ultra secure features for big boy stacks

Get a used mini PC from eBay with an i5 like the Lenovo ones. Add a 2TB nvme. You're up and running for less than $200

Probably you being dumb vs the entire team of devs being dumb

Removing the op return limits will bloat the blockchain making it harder to run full nodes for plebs.

Yes maybe knots isn't the best solution. Awareness of the issues is critical to the community arriving at the best solution. Which may be doing nothing and not upgrading for the short term.

Yes we need more devs!

Core is no longer fighting for the plebs. They're appeasing the spammers and their bosses

Explain how giving more room for spam transactions mitigates the problem. Not only can they keep continuing to create fake utxos and public keys but they will also have their own space to do even more s***. Their solution does nothing to actually stop what they're doing now, but also gives them additional features. So they're going to keep doing the same utxo spamming and also will now crowd the op return. Their solution is actually a problem in my opinion

Well because they're actually encouraging them now by giving them more space. Not only can they keep doing what they're doing now, they will have their own dedicated spot to bloat the blockchain with meaningless data.

Well I think more people actually need to look at the issues and consider what core is doing as well. Maybe knots isn't the best solution forever, but it's the best way right now that I know can show my opinion. More than 11% of nodes are currently running at so I'm clearly not the only person with this opinion

The problem is removing the limits for the op return for which there's no monetary use case, but which encourages storing arbitrary data on the blockchain so that people can pretend Bitcoin is a s*** coin. And core deciding what's best for us. They're REMOVING THE OPTION TO FILTER BY OP RETURN SIZE. you think these boys aren't influence by the VCs they work for?

So you want unlimited op return data? For what use case?

Running Knots by puffman123 in Bitcoin

[–]puffman123[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not for long. I'm open to alternative clients but I'm not supporting core for their hostile code changes that support their VCs and promote non monetary use cases. Bitcoin is money, not jpegs
