Rusty is not some random douche deciding to go YOLO on bitcoin - the dude has a body of work that speaks to his professionalism and engineering prowess. Your whole first point is you making assumptions about assumptions and then dissing Rusty’s valid concerns about cpu cycles and memory use - the exact things you need to consider for DDOS attacks etc. 

Nuclear power plants generate electricity the is used in all sorts of dangerous ways and then the waste is processed into fucking nuclear weapons. Your criticism is lacking the necessary depth of understanding for me to take you seriously. 

Rusty’s proposal is the most positive development in bitcoin development that I’ve heard yet and I couldn’t be more stoked that he’s decided to use his life’s energy focused on this. Never been more bullish after hearing him speak at BTC++ in May. My two sats anyway… 

 You didn’t address any of my points. I have no issue with what Rusty did think about. My issue is with what he didn’t think about. 

You seem to believe that Rusty is a smart guy who works hard and makes good presentations. No debate there. I just say he thinks of bitcoin like an open source project and doesn’t recognize the importance of it. He has a myopic view, lacks wisdom and is therefore dangerous. 

 You don’t make points, you make unsupported assertions about what Rusty is thinking or not, that’s just you pondering shit. 

 No, actually…

I point out that he has a myopic view by only considering the impact on CPU cycles and memory usage when the risks are far broader. 

I point out that he says he doesn’t care because there are already things bad people can do so he doesn’t worry about adding more. 

I point out his dangerous design philosophy is suitable for a low risk startup and not for the system that manages the world’s money and our hope for the future. 

Didn’t get those points? Maybe I used too many big words. Next time I’ll consider doing a comic strip or meme series.
