A minority hashrate softfork chain accumulates work slower than the legacy chain.<br/><br/>With a minority of hashrate the BIP110 chain will not persist as the most-work chain, it will fall further and further behind over time. <br/><br/>The BIP110 chain could get lucky and get ahead temporarily, but over time the luck will run out and once it falls sufficiently far behind it won&#39;t ever catch up to the chain tip. 2026-06-05T12:45:40Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs8gm0zjmum6kjvkwumn5rkhqhnk0vqc6dzs958325u3pfrxh876jczyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehzcrjxp6 There&#39;s only two charts in bitcoin that matter, and price isn&#39;t one.

There are a few ways, but one would be to increase their -dustrelayfee<br/><br/>By default it’s 0.00003 BTC/kB (3 sat/vB) resulting in a dust output limit of 330 sats for P2WSH. <br/><br/>For this transaction with 1859 such outputs the total locked in unspendable outputs is 1859*330‎ = 613,470 sats ($736 @$120k/BTC) <br/><br/>Lets say you successfully lobby the vast majority (95%) of miners to 10x this config value, the sender would have to choose between paying 6.1M sats ($7k) or sending as is and waiting until the small proportion of miners (5%) using the old default. They would probably do the latter because that’s enough hashrate to find 7 blocks/day on average, and what’s the rush?<br/><br/>Having failed to stop this at the miner level you may now be tempted to lobby node runners to change their default and/or change the default in core v31. <br/><br/>Say you were successful, and core v31 contains a higher default. The sender can just preferentially peer to try and reach miners in protocol.<br/><br/>So you double down and you spoof preferential peering such that it’s not sufficiently reliable.<br/><br/>The sender now has no choice but to pay a miner OOB - if they are to do this they might as well make each output be 0 sats. This could actually be mutually financially beneficial for the sender and miner, because instead of sats being burned as fees they would flow to the miner / be saved by the sender. <br/><br/>Now to be fair it would take effort to establish these direct rails to miners who are exclusively financially motivated, but this is a fixed cost, and I have no doubt it would be done, and then integrated via API to centralized minting services. <br/><br/>Thus, the problem would likely end up being worse than the situation we have today.<br/> 2025-10-06T07:53:11Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs84tyawx7a9zmjlzxxapg242xr293zkfp4a73kqpc45mpwaqfpy5czyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehzuhzcy6 Inscriptions &amp; OP_RETURN transactions still make up 40% of bitcoin transactions by count, 10% by fee and 28% by weight. <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/3996e69b2ee6c03ebd34ef4a83c1300af0be076503a1a2e1e96b1cb91f359857.png"> 2025-09-30T10:30:09Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs0x4633d9670fxts97mjmxw0ml5t8nav8gnpqvucwlhqkwtdszjjszyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehzy8gn8j Everyone can agree that we need more decentralized block template construction. <br/><br/>Core sees private tx broadcast as a threat to that (which is fair imo), which is part of why they are widening default policy rules.<br/><br/>Most filter proponents are vocal ocean supporters. Ocean have already materially increased the number of entities (who are actually finding blocks) doing template construction with DATUM, currently I imagine most of these individuals are using knots, and interestingly many don’t filter out all “spam”. <br/><br/>Knots has (iiuc) a single individual who decides what gets merged, and no doubt eventually there will be something he does / doesn’t do that will be perceived as an artificial restriction on user choice. <br/><br/>Ultimately, the only way miners will have sufficient choice without restriction will be if they can construct their own policy (with ease) and we have already seen an example of this (Knots Lua Pull) and a more recent BIP draft to do the same in Core (see mailing list, not received well)<br/><br/>The (perceived) threat with anything like this, is that “actual censorship” is as easy as mandating the inclusion of a filter file, and template construction is sufficiently centralized currently that IMO this is a reasonable concern. <br/><br/>Which brings us back to the point on which we have unanimous agreement: there is a pressing need to decentralize block template production. <br/><br/>Any action to decentralize block template production should be celebrated. <br/><br/>Knots Lua Implementation <br/><br/><a href="https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/pull/119/files">https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/pull/119/files</a><br/><br/>JS BIP Draft<br/><br/><a href="https://github.com/dr-bonez/bips/blob/mempool-policy-scripts/bip-mempool-policy-scripts.md">https://github.com/dr-bonez/bips/blob/mempool-policy-scripts/bip-mempool-policy-scripts.md</a> 2025-09-25T08:21:59Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsv65z0zh5kw79fpzwyg8dyqn0xlty7twn660m4jnauwj8c5hj3r0szyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehz6dc72s We must stop people putting data on Bitcoin, it’s a payment network<br/><br/>Meanwhile: every lightning commitment transaction encodes a 48-bit commitment number across nLockTime &amp; nSequence 2025-09-19T22:34:50Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqswthf52uzfp3pcuv39cv39qdw0l2q72av6zrn4z0yah9tz8djkmsszyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehz0zkv06 Sense check <br/><br/>Despite a dip in activity there are still 267k “legit” transactions per day. <br/><br/>(Average non OP_RETURN related/Inscription over the past 90 days) 2025-08-28T20:36:23Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs00nnpl0ek9n9dx444f8fg4kp67c0yymz9vk77jg9p2jeff3x4nqqzyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehzky2ch3 grid.orange.surf<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/92c50ef20078fd2b9df660e46b9cdbbab7f73a5e66ca666b9aa1417c92aaa574.png"> 2025-06-15T19:25:07Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqswhszwkcnu4shxwmyzky8jnxnzgt5nujv7e5ryr5axw7q4h4jfzkczyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehzsemask &gt; it only takes one determined spammer to make a tool to allow the less determined to spam. - <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1zfytz6ktce3av2svlfpl0e79e44tnskxmvlpkcmc7q0xct3qa49swvm60l" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>NicolasDorier</span> (<span class="italic">npub1zfy…m60l</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>This is the asymmetry that many filter proponents seem to miss. <br/><br/>Most of the kind of transactions they wish to filter out are created using dedicated software (services / tools / platforms).<br/><br/>Developers of such software can rapidly bypass any restriction using open source software like libre relay, which will get their transactions to miners. <br/><br/>We already see this, with some platforms offering the ability to select broadcast method from a drop down, including direct broadcast to some miners. 2025-06-15T13:43:39Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsv3ldmugquygw7kne0e8069hrcysu870zwyl5tehr7a3qjylp2rmqzyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehzv7222u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz7fv2n7jgz4lr0j50k432urjf9vqm6ylla2mdyfz8ukmsf9uzsxgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgnklx6z'>nevent1q…lx6z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Both!

Systems are being developed which use arbitrary data pushes to enable bitcoin financial transactions to happen on sidechains/layers, blurring the line between financial transactions and the arbitrary data most people think about (jpegs on the blockchain). <br/><br/>2) Blocking arbitrary data at the relay layer is a sisypheancan task which nobody has succeeded to do for a prolonged period of time.<br/><br/>3) Even if successful the relay network can and will be trivially bypassed if block template builders wish to accept these transactions which encode arbitrary data. So you need template builders to be on board (the more the better). <br/><br/>4) The current block template builders are not likely to be on board, as it goes against their short-mid term financial incentives. This is because they are typically<br/><br/>(a) disengaged / ambivalent about bitcoin development (see radio silence regarding new soft fork discussions)<br/><br/>(b) In favour of any and all use of blockspace which will increase revenue (see the direct submission services, use of librerelay, prevalence of side chain mining)<br/><br/>(c) Of the opinion that their fiduciary responsibility is to construct blocks containing valid transactions which generate the highest possible revenue for their customers.<br/><br/>4) Even IF you were able to successfully persuade template builders to filter these transactions (say by decentralising template construction into the hands of more ideological lower time preference miners) there will be disagreement about what level of data encoding is acceptable, with some arguing that it is permissible in certain formats, and with hardliners arguing that all arbitrary data should be eliminated. The fragmentation will result in some arbitrary data being trivially pushed into the chain.<br/><br/>5) Even IF you were able to persuade the overwhelming majority of hashrate to reject arbitrary data inclusion it becomes difficult to reliably get transactions which clearly encode arbitrary data into blocks, the data would end up being encoded in a slightly less efficient manner with a 2x cost burden.<br/><br/>6) If 2x cost burden is sufficient to stop arbitrary data encoding then it can easily be priced out. If not, all that effort would be wasted because it wouldn&#39;t achieve the desired outcome.<br/> 2025-04-30T09:57:34Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsz4q2qml39zuxshsy0rgz5a6xtp0pd5vttz2adupgzu78r3nj68yqzyq7aa6jjwqy7yhyg6dpp9a7f4gmrgna7a0ftdxsyaemlls7qaaehz502exv A message to those on team #fixthefilters - your time would be better spent earning sats, which you can then use to fund development of a bitcoin node implementation which implements your desired configuration options.
