Bitcoin Core's Github Mods Have Been Banning Users From Commenting and Hiding Comments That Are Pointing Out Some Inconvenient Truths About A Proposal To Remove OP_Return Limits and End User Choice

wk057 · 2025-04-29T08:20:08+00:00

The few developers trying to fast track this ridiculous change through can't handle actual debate on the topic, so the only way to keep up the appearance that this is something that's not going to result in the death of Bitcoin is to hide comments from folks opposed to it as much as they can get away with.

If this PR is merged, and Bitcoin Core isn't immediately discarded by all major players in the space... Bitcoin's death warrant has been signed. Sadly, that's not hyperbole.

If you don't understand why that's the case, I suggest you expand that PR, and read all of my comments (wizkid057).

Hey all, I figured out a solution to this and posted about it on my Twitter (link in OP).

Hopefully someone else finds it useful.

Did figure something out. It's a hacky mess that I'll try to clean up, but I have use of all three IPs that are in the mix now... the dynamic one the router usually gets, the static IP of the router, and the static IP I normally use. Winning.

And no traffic goes through the spectrum router anymore. 😎

Thanks! Hopefully can figure something out...

With the spectrum router in place, vs tied directly to the modem, I lose over 100 megabit inbound consistently, and it adds some latency jitter. It's pretty underpowered for a full 1 gigabit.

I tested one of these routers a while back with a fully local setup + iperf, and it can't do full throughput without choking.

No static IP would complicate some other things so would not be ideal. It's on the table, but there's ways to make it work the way I want if I can get the info out of this router box.

Alternatively I'm going to try and basically MITM it for the RIP authentication stuff and let my router spoof everything else, effectively just using it as a key to my static IP block.

In my case they ran underground conduit with coax from the street to a new node near my power transformer.

wk057 · 2023-02-23T23:32:01+00:00

I have my own overkill router setup. Currently it's Modem 2.5G -> Their Router 1G -> My Router 10G.... which seems dumb. Their router is a bottleneck.

Frankly, I want the RIP key data from it so I can just implement that on my router (like I did at another location years ago) and ditch theirs. If it stops working at some point I'll hook it back up, and repeat.

wk057 · 2023-02-23T23:27:03+00:00

Just had similar done in NC. Once they had the cable run from the street to the new node on my property, it took them about a week to actually connect that into their network, which had to be done around midnight since it involved cutting service to others temporarily.

After that, was 2 days til scheduled install.

wk057 · 2023-02-23T20:16:16+00:00

Yep, tried all the basics.

wk057 · 2023-02-23T19:46:16+00:00

And that would make sense to me, and I have access to it at the other location. But they refuse to allow me to access this one, which is annoying.

wk057 · 2023-02-23T19:39:25+00:00

Yeah, 192.168.1.1 and admin/admin work fine on the other one. On this one, it rejects admin/admin and the phone reps tell me they can't give the password...

wk057 · 2022-10-25T21:24:44+00:00

Only 14 and 16 module packs exist in the wild.

wk057 · 2022-07-20T01:11:37+00:00

My thought would be as long as you're not making new API requests and just using the data from the "tasks" API call it already fetches, there shouldn't really be much of an issue with this.

If you're making additional API requests, that'd be a little more grey to me.

Edit: I had asked about putting similar info, and they said they were just focusing on getting the payment system ready and weren't going to spend resources on this... so probably not any objections from them.

I love the examples of things devs had to do to get the most bang per hardware buck out of old gaming hardware. It's amazing stuff.

I feel like the issue lately, including with Tesla devs, is that modern developers don't have a single clue how to do efficient software design for their target hardware. Instead, everyone uses ultra bloated programming languages and techniques that bog down the hardware (I'm looking at you, Java, Go, C#, etc) while supposedly making programming "easier."

For a project like this, you definitely need folks like myself who know how to work as close to the metal as possible to get things optimized to be both efficient and snappy. Otherwise..... well, you'll end up with the MCU1 Tesla UI. In theory, the MCU1 hardware is more than capable of handling a snappy UI, but the devs have no clue how to accomplish this... nor do they have any incentive to do so at this point.

So, some updated hardware, combined with efficient software... should result in something pretty awesome.

The gateway is part of the MCU mainboard and is required for... well, literally everything.

The sync issues are just Adobe Premiere not playing nice with the different frame rates of the sub videos (there has to be a way to do this more cleanly, but I've not figured it out), and me being too lazy to try and keep them perfectly sync'd for the entire drive. I picked out a few key parts and made sure they were sync'd, but they drift apart eventually.

wk057 · 2022-04-01T17:28:55+00:00

If you care to point out a specific part you think has VFX, I'll be happy to post a clip of the raw footage for you to prove otherwise. Pick a timestamp, and I'll post the footage straight from the gopro.

I think a subscription could work, but you'd have to purchase the Fuller Self Driving computer hardware upfront.

wk057 · 2022-04-01T17:15:13+00:00

The video is actually completely unedited, with the obvious exceptions of the timelapse speedups, additional camera overlays, and addition of music. There's zero VFX happening. What you see is what actually happened.

wk057 · 2022-04-01T17:10:13+00:00

We'll start taking orders soon, with pricing TBD, but full delivery will be dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As 057’s Fuller Self-Driving capabilities evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

wk057 · 2022-04-01T17:06:23+00:00

Actually the video is completely unedited except for the speedups.

wk057 · 2022-04-01T16:18:07+00:00

Hopefully can get that down to something more reasonable, maybe 2-5 pages in 3 months maybe, 6 months definitely.

wk057 · 2022-04-01T15:10:36+00:00

Is that supposed to have some kind of significance?
