In theory, competing clients is probably the right path forward. It's a giant task but hopefully libbitcoinkernel will be able to separate consensus from the #Bitcoin Core client.

The big difference is that Core devs are not willy nilly changing consensus while team BIP-110 is attempting to via what I would consider a hostile takeover. The vast majority of node runners, and basically no miners, are not actively signalling their approval of this change.

I absolutely agree with you and I think most people that are against BIP-110 do as well. In spirit, it would be ideal if there were no monkey jpegs on #Bitcoin.
One of the areas where the BIP-110 argument fails for me is that it assumes that everything will work correctly and there will be no unintended consequences of their soft fork despite a tiny developer team. Making changes to Bitcoin is always a risk. To me, the risk/reward calculation is not there to justify this change. It has been demonstrated several times that spammers will run out of money. Today (and for months prior) I can send transactions for next to nothing.
I also think this change succeeding would set a terrible precidend that would be exploited by governments. Two crazy guys and a loud minority of social media keyboard warriors shouldn't be able to change Bitcoin. If they can, I will probably exit Bitcoin entirely as that would demonstrate to me that Bitcoin could easily be destroyed by a motivated attacker.

Technically, from a consensus standpoint, the limit for OP_RETURN is currently only capped by the total block size (so up to 4 MB) and Core 30 nodes will relay 100 kb OP_RETURNS (relay not the same as consensus). BIP-110 limits OP_RETURN to 83 bytes. I'm not sure if you are ignorant, attempting to waste my time, or have different definitions of words than everyone else (kind of like Luke Dashjr). Either way it is pointless to continue this conversation. You will see that I am right in around 45 days, smart guy.

Some of the rational that I see from the BIP-110 crowd on why their fork will succeed is absolutely mind boggling. BIP-110 people seem to have spent a total of zero hours learning about how #Bitcoin actually functions and instead spend all day on social media regurgitating nonsense from other nontechnical goofballs and bots.

2026-06-25 03:52:27 UTC

Good Lord.
"Soft forks that are not actively opposed with a URSF are likely to succeed because they conform with all of the consensus rules of the previous versions."
So what you are telling me is that after mandatory activation (after BIP-9 activation fails) BIP-110 enforcing nodes will accept blocks with transactions that include OP_RETURNs of greater than 83 bytes? I promise you, there will be many in the first block after BIP-110 nodes start enforcing their new rules and if the BIP-110 software is written correctly (big if), those nodes will reject blocks that contain transactions with large OP_RETURNs. BIP-110 nodes will end up on their own chain with almost no hash power.
You will see smart guy.

2026-06-25 03:14:06 UTC

- reply

All of those nodes (many of them not real) can happily stay on the Bitcoin Cashjr chain with one block a day until they capitulate and come back to the real #Bitcoin.

I think your "Occam's razor" take is correct.

2026-06-24 17:30:29 UTC

- reply

I was responding to:
"While it is more likely that people running Core will need to quickly switch over to avoid forking themselves off the network, the inverse is also possible."
Believing that BIP-110 is more likely than not to become active on the most proof of work chain is delusional to a degree that I can never take them seriously again.

2026-06-24 17:16:40 UTC

- reply

You are nutty. There is 1% of the network at best that support BIP-110.
The other thing to consider:
If #Bitcoin consensus rules can be altered by a mentally ill developer, an obvious spook, and a tiny vocal minority of non-technical social media keyboard warriors, would you really want to own it anyway? I wouldn't!

2026-06-24 13:53:15 UTC

- reply

If you think BIP-110 is "more likely to succeed" you are living in a fantasy world. Sorry, that is the reality.
How long will miners/users stay on a chain that is mining a block a day? My guess is a day or two.

It's hard to believe that this is a real tweet. Hopefully their account is hacked. If not, it would be insane for anyone to do business with @nprofile…89r8 ever again. If they are this confused about such an obvious subject, what technical flaws might exist in their node product or firewall?

I recall seeing the word "calculator" on the commercial invoice when i purchased a @nprofile…uqaq previously. Very likely it is the party responsible for generating the commercial invoice or customs directly.

2026-06-04 20:39:49 UTC

What do you think @nprofile…8vev ? Should we sell our #Bitcoin for zcash? I think you are smart enough to know that zcash is VC promoted garbage so that means you are being paid to pump it.

They both have their place. For me @nprofile…uqaq is the best choice but there is absolutely a place for SeedSigner (I have built one and it's great) and people shouldn't mess with open source projects.
However let's put things in perspective. You are literally trying to destroy #Bitcoin. Messing with SeedSigner is small potatoes by comparison.

You are free to attempt to run a #Bitcoin affinity scam podcast by using the word Bitcoin while pumping zcash and other altcoins.
Funnily enough, you could be sent a cease and desist letter if you changed your podcast name to Zcash Takeover.

You have pretty much exposed yourself here. "Lightning is not Bitcoin" is a pretty well known altcoiner argument that is obviously false. I am able to unilaterally move my coins from a Lightning chanel to an on chain address as I see fit. How is that "not Bitcoin"?
I think it's to change the name of your podcast to Altcoin Takeover.

Currently playing a bit of #Sports prediction markets with my crappy centralized exchange. I don't think there is a lot of crossover between people who understand #Bitcoin and Lightning and people who like sportsball unfortunately.

I wish @nprofile…u0hd had #MLB markets for games everyday. I guess maybe I can create one.

You have sender privacy with Lightning.
This feels like a solution looking for a problem. I don't believe that my atomic swap provider, @nprofile…3478 is maliciously recording all of my activity and they really can't record much anyway if I swap with Lightning. Also #Bitcoin is accepted natively at pretty much all crypto accepting stores so there is no need to perform a swap unless I want to for privacy reasons.

2026-05-24 15:23:19 UTC

How is that different than #Bitcoin swaps with Cake Wallet?
You give away zcash on your podcast so you might be a little bias.

What has changed recently? I think the only thing that has changed is that VCs realize there is a sellable narrative and that they can pump zcash. You have been around long enough to see that so I can only guess that you have your own bags to unload.
I'm not a Monero user but it is clear as day that Monero has an organic user base and zcash has no user base, only pumpers and dumpers. Where can you even spend zcash since it is so useful for... Something?

2026-05-23 15:56:42 UTC

I wonder who is behind this inorganic zcash pump. They have some deep pockets to get Chamath and Dalio on board.
@nprofile…8vev - if you think zcash is pumping because VCs and altcoiners care about privacy then you are goofball!

The "spam" as you call it is valid fee paying transactions following the rules of the network that you agreed to. If you no longer agree no one is forcing you to stay.

Yeah, this is from years ago. Ethereum is irrelevant now.

2026-02-24 14:18:18 UTC

The people who believe you can filter spam on #Bitcoin also believe that their communication will still be private if only the government has a back door.

I think your concern is valid. It wouldn't be the first time the Trump Administration used a sly round about way to attack #Bitcoin:

I would say the only benefit is that the Trump Administration isn't openly hostile to Bitcoiners like a Harris Administration certainly would have been. That is the only real benefit IMO. As long as he is allowed to do some grifting to line his pockets he will leave Bitcoiners alone.

Tucker Carlson just ran what feels like a paid ad, under the veil of a privacy breakthrough, for an upcoming shitcoin launch for a token called Arcium.
Tucker feels like controlled opposition. He says some good things but then besmirches true freedom tech like #Bitcoin and @nprofile…qlfc.

In recent months I've not had any luck mining a block on testnet4 with 90 TH/s. There is someone running some kind of mining attack, I believe by manipulating the block times. Previously I was able to find blocks with the CKpool software.

Even before I had heard of #Bitcoin, I was planned for retirement with the understanding that I will never receive a dime from social security.
The first rug pull will be that those with their own private retirement accounts won't be eligible for social security.

At this point BIP444 proponents are either:
A) Nefarious
B) Bots
C) Willfully ignorant
D) Just plain ignorant
There is no longer a reason to engage with them any longer.

Joining team filter has been a massive engagement boon for D level #Bitcoin influencers.
