Re: [May 2023] Fees not low! Wait for opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs
As individual devs, we can build stuff like Casey did, but there's only much we can do before our work needs a bigger endorsement by someone with more influence, in order for people to actually use it, in the same way of RGB / LN / Silent Payments / Liquid / your various mining technologies like Stratum and so on.
I don't know, I have a different way of seeing things probably but for me all this stuff it's pretty simple:
- Bitcoin means freedom, you don't need to ask anyone permission what to do with your coins
- Bitcoin is a free market, it answers to the laws of offer and demand, nothing else
Then:
- by the laws of economics when there is the demand for something, aka backspace why not acknowledge the problem?
- if people don't want to use LN as it's either too much of a headache, too complicated, or has no actual use for their needs, how do you think they will embrace it? By force? lol! Cause that has worked wonders in the past!
Since you saw my post in the other thread, what slippery slope do we choose here:
- ban ordinals, ban brc20 then orc20 tokens, then ban tumblers and mixers? Ban consolidations as you can just use coin control?
- raise the block limit once and see what happens, then raise it again if somehow we find people stupid enough to pay more than 40 million a day in fees continuously?
Anyhow, I think we're deviating from the main topic here and I'm spamming Loycev's topic, since I was the one that started it.
That said, I think there is a new adjustment needed to the title, after seeing this topic:
Delay your Bitcoin transaction for this week| Volunteer campaign
Something like, don't you dare consolidate your inputs, not you mo******!
