jbreher probably agrees with rolling,
except for the relished fantasy part. Of course, his solution will be to increase the blocksize to the point that ordinary people cannot run nodes. He is on record as alleging that non-mining validators
are useless [emphasis added by jbreher, as that is quite clearly NOT what I wrote], anyway.
For example; boldface is his:You are delusional. I have demonstrated over and over again that the count of non-mining validators is a powerless metric in regards to Bitcoin consensus.
[...]
A count of non-mining validators has fuck-all to do with a measure of the economic majority.
No. No you do not. Obviously. Can't even understand simple English. Or maybe you are lying by misattributing words to me that I clearly have not uttered. Fucking liars running around starting brigaded neg campaigns based upon unfounded allegations that they are incapable of even understanding. In case it is not clear, I am referring to you, nullius (you fucking liar).
For my part, I think that most transactions will and should be off-chain.
Mmm Hmm. And when most people seldom or never make an on-chain transaction, where is the incentive for them to run a non-mining validator?
Anybody who does not understand this should try, just try running Bitcoin and syncing mainnet on old and/or very cheap hardware. You will soon wish for smaller blocks. If you have a bit of vision, thereupon contemplate network effects and the resistance to centralization brought by keeping full nodes within the reach of people who are not rich.
False inflammatory statement. I run several non-mining validators on the same machine. That I bought years ago. Used. And added an SSD thereto. Total cost: about $400.
One might say 'even that is too much money'. As compared to a $1000 tx fee? Riiiight.
