Oddbean new post about login | logout #Drivechains remove trust? In who?
Idk if they do, that's why I ask. Minimize trust is a better exactly phrasing.
It doesn’t change anything for those who don’t want to use drivechains. For those who do, the peg-out mechanism is trustless through merged mining.
Lol. It's a fork. How does that not change anything for those that donor want it?
It would be a soft-fork. I can’t prove this negative. Tell me how that would change something for those who don’t want it.
Soft-forks are inherently constraining in consensus rules.
That doesn’t say how #Bitcoin users who don’t want to use #drivechains would be impacted by their deployment.
I would have to run URSF. That's impactful.
It’s part of the miners and node runners responsibilities to be involved in consensus related changes. When I say #Bitcoin users I’m referring to end users as those saving and or transacting in #BTC. #Drivechains don’t impact them if they don’t want to use them.
Right. I'm a node runner and I don't want further constraints on consensus that enable drivechains. I am impacted, sir, as are others. Not to mention the technical fallout when normal users seek guidance on what to do. To say drivechains don't impact anything is naive and ignorant, IMHO. Any soft fork has these impacts.
I mean, yes any change to a protocol has some impact on some people. My point being that #drivechains wouldn’t impact #Bitcoin end users. Those who don’t want to use a #drivechain have no need to seek guidance. They’ll just keep using Bitcoin tomorrow as they do today.
