This is just a complete fiction. No node was attacked, Portland talked about how it was possible and we laughed about it, because it's trivially dealt with using an existing config option.

I love when people call me a spammer/scammer/jpeg person/etc. People demonstrating a willingness to lie/invent nonsense is just telling on themselves with regards to their own character.
The last time I sold or profited from an NFT was in 2016.
Every other one I've ever owned I still have, and I always will. They are not investments to me, or something to profit from. They are novelties. They are gifts from friends. They're stupid little mementos from different periods of history in Bitcoin I've lived through.
So to all the clowns who constantly whip out those labels because they are incapable of making any logical or principled argument whatsoever:
I challenge you to show me a single example of me shilling jpegs or scamming people.
You can't.

Mechanic is a deluded clown. "Nodes have no incentive to relay tHe SpAm." Yes, they do. Because they will wind up in blocks, and your node will download and validate them anyway BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO in order to validate your own money.
Enough with this delusional and imaginary nonsense pretending running a node is some altruistic service. That is a debunked nonsense meme.
If you are running a node for any other reason than verifying your own transactions, you were sold a fairy tale.
If you aren't using your node for that, cry, run something else, shut it down, no one who understands how Bitcoin actually works cares.
A node not used for validating your own transactions is completely useless, and does nothing for the network besides provide relay bandwidth.

Don't be like this moron. Clueless, overconfident, and spewing baseless nonsense. There are too many people like this in this ecosystem literally conducting a Denial of Service attack on any adult or logic based conversation regarding upgrades to Bitcoin.
Point 1: CTV does absolutely nothing to change "spam transactions" as something that can happen on Bitcoin. All CTV does is commit to chains of transactions, exactly like pre-signed transactions do now, except enforcing them by consensus. It makes zero difference on any level to people's ability to flood the network with long chains of transactions.
Point 2: CTV cannot do recursion, period, full stop. That was an explicit design goal. It cannot create circular chains of transactions either, _that is impossible under the laws of information theory_. Transactions must reference transaction IDs, once one transaction with ID A is spent, that TXID cannot be recreated, ever. Full nonsense gibberish.
Point 3: Nothing about CTV creates a risk of walled gardens at all. Self custody not scaling, and forcing people to use Coinbase, or Cashapp, or River, creates the risk of walled gardens. The only way for most people to use Bitcoin being with the permission of a custodian creates the risk of walled gardens. This is incoherent.
This moron VERY clearly just regurgitated incoherent ChatGPT hallucinations to try to participate in a conversation he doesn't understand the first thing about. That is a Denial of Service attack. Don't be like this moron. If you want to participate in these conversations, than be humble and recognize the limits of your current understanding, and work to expand the horizon of your understanding.
Don't regurgitate incoherent bullshit to argue a dogmatic position you don't even understand the logic behind.

what type of chemical differences between different hues exist that would have an impact of ink density printed on paper. I.e. yellow vs. blue vs. black.

The idea is give both sides a financial incentive. If the researcher does good research without fraud, after a time period they can claim money that goes directly into their own pocket. People who can prove fraud instead at any time can prove that to the federated escrow to claim the funds instead. Researchers have an incentive to be honest, and reviewers have an incentive to find fraud.

2024-09-30 00:30:20 UTC

I wonder what effect federated bonds would have in the world of scientific research. Bond some portion of research grants and timelock them. Path A, researcher can claim funds after timelock. Path B, funds can be claimed by oracles and paid out to anyone proving research fraud.
