when blocks remain small, lightning can't scale without custodians. even if every single transaction on L1 was dedicated to maintaining lightning channels, it would still top out at a certain number of sovereign users, and to get more converts to the bitcoin religion you would need them to use custodians. why are you okay with that? do you really think it's cool that someone else can just steal your money or rug you? are you really cool with only a small percentage of the wealthiest bitcoiners being able to own their own money, while everyone else has no protection from getting robbed?

2024-11-12 05:31:31

- reply

re your answer to #3: you literally just pretended that user friendliness is equivalent to sovereignty. it's not. it doesn't matter if lightning gets "easier." if you don't own a UTXO and use it to open your own channel, it's someone else's money. and bitcoin is designed right now so that there is not enough room for lots of people to own and interact with their own UTXO. in a mass adoption scenario with small blocks and lightning, the number of people who can be sovereign is way smaller than the number of people who want to be. 99% of the population gets shoved into a centralized custodian. that's just not going to protect decentralization.

you should not have to become a rocket surgeon to be sovereign. even if were easy the system of lightning still requires you to interact with a UTXO to be sovereign and there's not enough room for everyone. I don't like payment channel solutions anyway. if lightning is the best L2 that bitcoin developers can come up with you are in for some trouble down the road. sovereignty is really what gives bitcoin its shine.

let's start here. any cryptocurrency payment network that can't scale without help from custodians belongs in the trash bin. it's the custodians who are the problem. their presence erases all of the benefits that bitcoin is supposed to provide. ruggable sats is a retarded idea. if it takes you longer than 3 minutes to figure this out on your own you have brain damage.

both XMR and BCH have excellent adjustable blocksize algorithms. I've always believed that there is nothing wrong with some linear scaling as long as that's not all you're gonna do and as long as a full node can still run on reasonably up to date consumer grade hardware. this would have bought plenty of time until someone could come up with a way to have a L2 that doesn't just end up shoving everyone into custodians. whatever "centralization" would occur from bigger L1 blocks is nothing compared to the number of people being shoved into custodians because of payment channel garbage right now.

2024-10-29 15:17:42

- reply

it only took you a few minutes to figure it out. ecash is a scam. none of the incentives make any sense whatsoever and it's a way to sneak inflation into the bitcoin ecosystem.

2024-10-29 05:29:27

imagine being a maxi and saying monero is bad because it is hard to verify the total supply and it has some inflation. then you go around telling people to use ecash mints, which are also hard to verify the total supply and are vulnerable to inflation. maxis lie when they tell you what is important to them. all they care about is if you buy BTC after they do. they don't care about anything else and they never did.

2024-10-29 05:13:01

people are saying that if you have a little bit of money, it belongs in an ecash mint that is completely centralized and ruggable. when you have a little bit more money, it belongs in a permissioned sidechain protected by a multisig. when you have a lot of money, it can be in self-custody protected by a decentralized network. but that's like saying poor people don't deserve decentralization. you realize under this scheme most people in the world are not protected from the dangers of fractional reserve banking, and there can be a lot of inflation that is hard to detect. the inflation will hurt rich people too. so what does that even accomplish?

scaling via custodians represents a monumental failure. the number of concurrent non-custodial users that bitcoin can handle is fixed in place and the developers are too dysfunctional to do a single thing about that, so now they are giving up and scaling via custodians. number go up doesn't mean shit when most people are coerced into owning fake bitcoin IOUs and not the real thing.

some guy noticed that banks and financial institutions have really complex procedures for trusting each other and following the same rules. he came up with a way to use proof of work to get rid of all of that stuff. when I see lightning people having to resort to this kind of behavior it looks like a sad regression to me.

there's not a single situation where an ecash mint makes more sense than using cashapp as a custodial lightning wallet. if the mint sees a modicum of success and is doxxed enough that I could hold them accountable for rugging me, then they are able to be compelled to behave like any other kind of traditional money transmitter. if they play fast and loose and act all cyberpunk and sheeit, then there is nothing I can do when they rug me. it's a pointless system for unaccountable strangers to hold onto my pocket change.

it was bitcoiners who sat on their hands for the first 5 years and said "nobody has ever been prosecuted via blockchain analysis." a few of them stopped saying that after it started happening but most of them still don't care. they are intellectually lazy and not proactive. and now they are going to sit on their hands and pretend that shoving everyone into a custodian is not a big deal, even after everything from mt gox to ftx. they are not the sharpest crayons in the box.
