5k Shinobi is like Bitcoin's version of Reddit atheists and lolbertarians doing a "well akshually". The fact that he admitted he can't steelman the opposition tells me everything I need to know. Doing that is histrionic moralphagging, "It's so absurd I can't even...they must be crazy!"

5k Paul is arguing that Lightning doesn't work because it doesn't scale to 8 billion? Has anyone claimed it would? Does any monetary system we have scale to the whole world?
Appeals to authority, admitting he hasn't used it in recent years, clearly has an axe to grind about a different solution (drive chains).
Seeing more and more "OGs" who are disappointing. Slay your heroes, fam.

5k Knots is not maintained by "just one guy". This is a misunderstanding. Please have Bitcoin Mechanic/Grassfed Bitcoin on to get the other side on this. The real issue is mining pool centralization, which is what Stratum v2 was trying to solve, but now Datun has basically solved, and you run that along with Knots. Fix the mining pool issue and you the "spammers will be incentiized to go directly to miners" argument becomes moot.

100 The argument that we won’t see it coming is self-defeating. If governments have an incentive to go dark, then why do they flip, and then put up the biggest billboard sign imaginable by stealing bitcoin? Imagine the US or China developing a relevant quantum computer in secret and then spoiling the secret to steal some bitcoin, ridiculous.

1k "IBD speed has been improved! Why are people complaining?"
Bruh, no one cares about one-time IBD performance with inscriptions, it's about the permanent storage requirements from the blockchain bloat.
Hard tell when these guys are disingenuous or just that dense/ignorant of the opposition's steel manned position

100 Demanding 600 Bitcoin after you stole all of someone’s money is utterly insane
btconboard #LNHANCE or #CTVSep 14, 2026
100 Bro WTF? Everything about their theft is uncommon compared to white hat. You can’t steal and then extort, that isn’t how white hat works. There’s an inherent power balance where you’re “negotiating” with your victim of whom you stole their money. If I break into your house and steal all your shit, will you feel all good if I offer to give most back?

100 If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial.
Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

No actual discussion about the BIP technicals. Projection, fear-mongering, mind reading. Odell kind of did the same thing with Swan Bitcoin a couple years ago when he didn't have info that they hadn't announced and basically accused them of being bad actors and had to walk it back. If you disagree with the goal and assume bad motivations then of course it's going to seem like an attack. BIP-110 supporters can (and probably do) say that Core's actions + some statements by various devs + various VC connections = attack on Bitcoin. Everyone has their idea of what they want Bitcoin to be and everyone has something at stake. As a small miner who is all-in on Bitcoin for years now, and has been following this issue since early 2025, I support the vision of BIP110. Doesnt mean it's perfect, but I believe it's better than the direction we'd be heading without it.
-
the core dev, lorinc, finding a critical consensus bug from sloppy coding in 110 was hilarious.
-
110 is an attack on Bitcoin. Doesn’t mean Core is perfect either.
