🤣 

 I sometimes forget we have a whole generation of bitcoiners who weren't around for this pre-blocksize wars stuff ... there were basically 3 big dramas around mining back in that era. This one (Luke's censorship, and more generally the controversy around satoshi dice), the ghash.io 50% drama, and the butterfly labs '2 weeks' delivery.

I mean OK there were probably 10 others I don't remember 😄

I'm not including the OP_RETURN drama, it kinda overlaps I guess 

 Thank you sir I thought this was today 🤣🫡 

 Just making the disclosure Matt.  Thanks for doing the same.

I appreciate all you have done for bitcoin, we are fighting the same war.

Best of luck. 

 The question needs to be asked, why is Matt working so hard against Luke.  He didn’t go full soldier mode until the issue with Samourai. 

 Fair question. Also worth noting that Luke and ocean have been deceiving in their communication as well. I have no doubt this will evolve into a soft fork debate 

 Fair criticism. 

 Liar 

 Can you elaborate why you refute that changes in Bitcoin core to the byte limit didn’t set a new standard? It seems that the higher byte standard is in much wider use than that used in knots. A one word answer isn’t adequate communication. 

 Luke, don't pay attention to anyone's attacks, these are hyenas fighting over carrion. Do your deeds with all your heart and do not waste your mental strength on them. 

 The funny thing is that there is actually a pretty good chance that I agree with him and many others might too, but he has done a terrible fucking job communicating 

 Perhaps, but to suggest he is attacking bitcoin is clearly untrue.  His work, and the work of many others, over the years is, in part, why we are all here using bitcoin.

Just block out the noise, check out the pool, or just watch the project evolve into something beautiful over the next 12 months. 

 I don’t think I ever suggested that this is an attack on bitcoin… I think it’s clear that Luke would like to see changes to core that could even result in a softfork, but that is part of the natural progression of the protocol. 

My concerns are more around the mode of implementation, but more deeply probably just the communication (or lack thereof). Admittedly, the more I have read into the old Bitcoin core PRs I actually see a lot of consistency in what Luke is trying to do with ocean. Unfortunately, I don’t think his comments on Twitter have adequately reflected that at all.

I hope he can bring some of his thoughts together and share them more cohesively with the community either on his own or through ocean. 

 I didn’t mean to suggest you had said such a thing, but a few others have.

All the best. 🫂 

 Kind words. 

 As above, so below. 

Now you do one…… 

 9 years ago, no context.

Do you have a financial relationship with Samourai?  The freaks want to know. 

 Of what? It’s a nothingburger. You literally cannot “force” anything on people using Gentoo because you configure and build software manually. 

 TIME IS A FLAT CIRCLE SIR 

 I just think it’s funny to make a stink about an ebuild patch that is entirely optional. It would be more scandalous if a binary was shipped with the patch but this is much different. 

 THE POINT IS LUKE HAS BEEN SELECTIVELY CALLING CERTAIN BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS SPAM FOR A DECADE NOW. THAT IS RELEVANT. 

 Those dice sites are objectively tremendously inefficient use of block space and have impacted how easy it is to sync a full node. You like full nodes right? 

 And I've been right for a decade. 

 It's kind of funny, even though I disagree with Luke WRT ordinals and satoshidice I saw this and thought "huh, at least he's consistent". Totally forgot about this, heh. 

 Sure, but I bet 90% who read this think it’s new.

Whatever happened with this anyway? I’ve forgotten it’s been so long 

 It says 9yrs ago in the screenshot, which is probably itself a few years old. If bitcoiners are that bad at parsing information we're ngmi. When was the last time you heard someone mention gentoo? 

 People should know the politically incorrect history, not the one version taught at schools.. 

Tom Woods is your man in this case:

 There’s some seriously bad takes from almost every developer at some point. 

Luke has a much higher proportion of those bad takes than others however. 

 remove all those communists and satanists

replace them with anarcho capitalists and cypherpunks
=satoshi nakamoto people 

 Worry first about your own small community & then build out from there. 
House management 
Town management
City management
State management 
Then keep going. 
Top down changes rarely work. 

 that does not exist here

people live their own lives ignoring any terrorists or wanna be dictators
they do not matter

stop thinking like a slave
start thinking like a free man

bitcoin has a good concept. read satoshi nakamoto.
today btc is broken. has nothing to do with satoshi.
not fungible, extremely high fees (no p2p payment system), centralized mining, censorship of transactions etc 

 Dude, I like about 75% of what post. 
Your love of shitcoins like Monero lose u almost all credibility.
Now I remember why I muted you for a long time. 
HFSP clown. You are not the resistance.  You’re a shitcoining weasel. Bye. 

 i am not your dude. no one cares what you like or don't like.

wake up slave
live like a free man

not like a bitch in your mental prison reporting to your serfdom

 

 Cry  

 sorry to hear that
why do you cry? 

 Luke is delusional. As if the random coding standards he makes alone in his basement are the dictates for everyone else, even if core moved on to other standards. Yet, he crawls out of his hole and proclaims honest user’s coin join transactions are bugs. Fuck him. 

drain Ocean dry
