Re: 'Attack on Bitcoin’ Claims Circulate as Transaction Fees Climb Higher

Many Bitcoiners including me have been calling Ordinals an attack for nearly a year now and I have to say the fact that part of the Bitcoin community needed the fees to go up first before they could see Ordinals as it really is shows the community has still not reached complete maturity and I dare say some of them have not yet understood what bitcoin is.

A mature community would have been this concerned a year ago when the attack began by exploiting the protocol and when the attackers abused bitcoin blockchain by turning it into a cloud storage; not when fees went up and it started affecting them individually.

Beg to differ.  A truly mature community would be calmer and less reactionary.  All this endless whining is, quite frankly, unproductive and a little pathetic.  If you aren't working on a solution yourself, just accept the fact that your input isn't assisting with the situation.



I don't know but the Bitcoin developer or the ordinal developer should figure this out or the fee will be this high for a long time.

There is no "Ordinals developer". There's only a bunch of people throwing programming shit at the wall to see what sticks.

As for bitcoin developers, well the default tendency is to do nothing, except for a small minority of them.
 

To clarify, there absolutely are ordinals developers and they have a GitHub where they're discussing this exact issue:  https://github.com/ordinals/ord/discussions/2879

Another discussion, spun off from luke-jr's failed pull request, is taking place on a personal GitHub here:  https://github.com/conduition/conduition.io/pull/5

People are working on stuff, but users here on the forums aren't even bothering to look.  So impatient users just make assumptions based on nothing and we end up with loads of worthless threads about it here on the forum.
