@guruvan You claim that this is “a bug.” I wish to know which software you suggest running that doesn’t contain this “bug.”

@guruvan Do tell, which full node software are you suggesting one use instead?

@mwilcox Yes, but it’s only needed at time of transaction creation / for recent blocks. Historical syncing of blockchain need not check.

Bitcoin’s blockchain is currently 60% larger than it needs to be; it’s full of unnecessary historical data. This data is called signatures.

Those who scoffed at the thought of $1,000 BTC are scoffing at $10,000 BTC and will scoff at $100,000 BTC.

@JihanWu @deadalnix @kristovatlas As a miner, don’t you prefer the UTXO set to be smaller so that it’s easier for you to keep in memory?

@deadalnix @kristovatlas I’ve heard these claims made in the past; are there any in-depth explanations to which you could link?

via Twitter Web Client

@lightcoin Yep, there are pros and cons to each. Good reading material:

@kristovatlas You think SegWit makes it harder to hard fork in the future?
You think SegWit makes non-SegWit transactions more expensive?

@dykstranet @TaylorGerring I’m not sure offhand, though @murchandamus probably does from the research he did for his master’s thesis.

@TaylorGerring More wallets need defragging built in

@kyuupichan If anything, SegWit users will leave more space for your non-SegWit sends, staving off some of the fee market spikes.

For those who are anti-SegWit: how would other people’s use of SegWit negatively impact your usage of non-SegWit transactions?

If you want to reach people who radically disagree with you, your only hope is to put yourself in their shoes & avoid tribalistic language.

In the beginning Satoshi said “let there be Bitcoin” and there was Bitcoin. Today many Satoshis say “let’s change Bitcoin” & Bitcoin shrugs.

Bitcoin wallets should implement dynamic dust limits for output values. At current fee rates, no one should create outputs < 0.0005 BTC.
