Smh these nostr influencers are too cool to reply back

2025-11-08 22:26:57 UTC

I have now fully open sourced the code which creates this on-chain BIP-444 futures contract!
https://blossom.primal.net/8a4543280ffb1224d9e43898881495e48143597486ec8b42e2b72e97f7f41441.png
The contract starts with an atomic deposit into the contract address of 1 BTC each (to make sure both parties put in the same amount into the contract address).
Context: BIP-444 makes the use of OP_IF & OP_NOTIF consensus INVALID upon activation.
The contract is built as follows:
The taproot address uses the NUMS point as described in BIP341, to provably show the key path is not active.
We have two parties, a "YES" (444 activates) and "NO" (444 does NOT activate). YES and NO for short.
The first leaf is a 2 of 2 multisig of both parties. This exists to be able to self send the UTXO AFTER BIP 444 activates. This is because BIP-444 just added a clause that UTXOs created before activation will NOT have the BIP-444 consensus rules applied to them. This self send removes that exception.
https://blossom.primal.net/cf29c62d960c09fbd17b21b302cd259e1cd875ab86eedfb7a59b00c2e3e3bd53.png
The second leaf: has 2 ways you can spend with it, a 2 of 2 (YES and NO) multisig, just like the first leaf OR the NO party, with a time lock which is LESS THAN the third tap leaf. This is important because it uses OP_NOTIF
https://blossom.primal.net/8b83fc49881632450d651008af9e95175dfec8a815d9dd6d272f10bb4a18cd26.png
The Third Leaf: The YES party can spend, after a time lock AFTER the second leaf.
https://blossom.primal.net/e6e64adf006007d8035b0578b35e75d4c9dfbd35846d581b317d2ab34cff91a5.png
The order of the timelocks is important. If BIP-444 activates, the spending condition that can spend before you will be consensus invalid, so it doesn't matter if you believe 444 activates.
So to summarize:
- If BIP-444 DOES activate, the party who believes it will be able to use the second tap leaf to get 2 BTC out.
- If BIP-444 DOES NOT activate, the party who believes that will use the third tap leaf to get 2 BTC out.
Since each side is highly confident in their position, the fair market price is a 1:1 ratio, implying 50% likelihood.
With 85 days until activation, this contract as written gives you an implied ~430% APY on your bitcoin! The risk is being incorrect on your opinion of BIP-444 activating.
You could modify the collateral each side puts up to get different implied odds of the futures contract as well.
Github: https://github.com/Rob1Ham/BIP-444-Futures
Address: https://mempool.space/signet/address/tb1p07flh4waghmkeep0l20nf2tyn4tw9wy3w4j5vkrf6mue9ddtakgsgc5clr
Anyone who wants to take the BIP-444 WILL activate side, let me know! The Author of the BIP has agreed to this, I have already asked for a larger bet size beyond the 1 BTC I initially proposed, but I have more!

Give me your preferred wording of the prediction market, or take me up on the on chain trustless one I proposed.
Also, any futures market you support I’ll be able to post screenshots of the odds anyway, so you’re really in a pickle, trying to make it about me and not the greater point I’m making.
Ball is in your court, and even if you think I’m trolling, you’re letting me troll you a lot more by not taking up the bet than avoiding it and not picking up guaranteed bitcoin from your perspective.
There isn’t 1 BTC of conviction in you side of the fork? That’s not a good signal.

Important to call out Dathon Ohm is now lying (misleading?) the consensus process by removing the rejected langauge about a reactive activation method, but may have to employ it anyway?
It'll get circulated once the new proposal comes out, deceit is not how you build rough consensus.

"Futures markets are fiat and not what bitcoiners do"
For those of you newer to Bitcoin, the last time there was a contentious fork, a futures market in 2017 was put up by Bitfinex.
@nprofile…fkft will tell you with a straight face they have high conviction in their fork, but will dodge a trustless on chain futures contract, and will ignore the market currently prices a fork at under 5%.
He can block me on Twitter, but he can't block the market.

Only thing I know is you’re scared too make the bet. You objected to the liquidity, I offered more, you rejected the dates, I said you name the dates.
What will the next excuse be?

You can't remove the reactive activation method, and say it may be needed anyway. This is an attempt to manufacture consent.

Yo @nprofile…y4k2 - when do you think the activation client will be released?

2025-11-05 15:57:24 UTC

There is now a prediction market for what date the reduce data size soft fork activation client will go live!
This one has less liquidity, as its easy to game since @nprofile…fkft can use insider info and make a bet to gurantee he wins the bet, but fun nonetheless!
Right now December 31st 2025 is the leader at 65%!
