Yeah, there was, to my recollection a lot of people trying to wrest power from each other after the war. The articles of confederation didn't allow for federal tax and it was getting hard for those people to maintain control without the force mechanism. So I am fairly certain they wrote the constitution to implement "governmental rights" as opposed to the self-evident god given rights found in the Declaration of Independence.
But the ratification process was a slog, as I recall, because a lot of the states saw through the charade of this new federal government but were pressured to join this new military alliance.

I don't know what is unclear here. Bankster use fiat, not bitcoin. They can print more fiat, not bitcoin. So when they want to buy missiles, mercenaries, training, armor, small arms, drones, ships, tanks, and bombs they have to spend bitcoin.

I thought this was a trick question from the way it's asked because I think states ratified at different points making it a bunch of dates. But I would say the late 1780's maybe into the 1790's before all of the colonial states ratified it. Let's say 1785-1793?

I am not confused. You referred (as did I) to the basin of Mexico which is in the center of modern day Mexico. I was not referring to Reino de Mexico. That region was conquered in circa 1521. 1507 is when "America" was named. The REGION is called America. This is my contention.
As I said about Persia and Arabia. These are political. Continents are less so political but an agreement made by many peoples on the names of regions. So, to be clear I don't know what to call the Persian/Arbian gulf because they are both equally politcal. I suggested the Middle Eastern Gulf.
No confusion. Just a logical deduction based on regions not countries.

2025-05-10 22:21:41 UTC

- reply

Yes the geographic region you are taling about is about 200 miles inland and again was only known to the Aztec who, did not name the gulf. It is only later referred to as the gulf of mexico as a water rights claim by the spanish. Mexico, the region is superceeded by the Americas naming convention established by europeans as well. As the naming of the gulf of mexico was a political ploy to claim shipping route rights, I still think Gulf of America is more appropriate from a regional standpoint.
As far as Persia and the Persian Gulf or Arabian Gulf, I don't know. These are both equally political claims. To me it seems appropriate to call it the Middle Eastern Gulf. But that would include the Gulf of Oman. Regardless, the names will be whatever the maps say. It's not really up to logic.

2025-05-10 21:52:55 UTC

No, they are not. You are referring to Aztecs, they were annihilated by the spanish. But please tell me more about these ancient "Mexicans"

2025-05-10 18:51:00 UTC

- reply

Yeah, and Mexico wasn't a country until 1821. So the Gulf of America (the region of water between North and South America) makes more sense than a new politcally established country naming it after themselves. Everybody seems to think America and The United States are the same, they are not.

Saying "Swimmers are hairless" doesn't mean YOU are if you are a swimmer. This is a generality about a group of people. There are more than a handful of Core devs who fit that description and therefore easier to generalize in speech. This is not an indictment of you.

2025-05-10 16:37:53 UTC

- reply

The core dev ire has nothing to do with the changes, it has everything to do with their response to descent. To speak to people with valid criticism with derision is what make people call Core devs "shills" or "dumb" or whatever. You can see how someone pointing out a conflict of interest is a valid criticism, right?
To be clear some of it is mindless inflooencer "Fuck Core" drivel. But that's commonplace in social media. @nprofile…jn0c going on about the customer/service provider dynamic differing from open source project is a red herring.
The analogy would be people Open-sourcing a physical vault design. Then the major supplier introducing a vulnerability and saying "you don't pay us so you don't get a say in what vulnerabilities we introduce." While yeah, you can't be forved, speech is speech and the point is if you have a logical rebuttal people will side with you. But, what does a mass exodus tell you? That your counterpoints are not compelling.
Either way, if you bring more freedom to Core, I say join them and make core greater!

Guy, this is already old. The only way to "fix" this is to have miners filter transactions which everyone seems to call "Censorship!"

2025-05-03 15:03:08 UTC

I absolutely have a selective mempool, I monitor it. To be clear, we are talking only about unconfirmed transactions. Nothing can be done about transaction validation without a standards change.
As for unlimited mempool (unconf txns) what do I care? It's your memory and storage.
The valid blocks is not the debate currently. That is the red herring being bandied about. This is about control options of your own mempool rules within your own machine.

2025-05-03 14:30:36 UTC

- reply

There is no accuracy within mempools and never will be unless you think there should be a mempool authority. Some people have never heard of Disney and don't need to. Same thing goes for transactions that don't fit within YOUR computer's filter setting. Consensus (not <consensus/consensus>) is the overwhelming majority of rule sets creating a standard. If most set their OP_RETURN data carrier limit to 83 bytes, that's what the standards is.
I do not claim to make that decision for other people's computers. If Bitcoin stops being a network I can transact freely upon because the consensus is to allow spam then, so be it.

2025-05-03 13:18:31 UTC

I don't just relay to Ocean.I have peers and I have a morality to not pass along spam. I don't go around forwarding spam emails either.

2025-05-02 07:29:02 UTC

The mempool resource, obviously. Being forced to hold spam on my mempool is a resource I do not want allocated to my storage or memory.

2025-05-02 07:26:35 UTC

- reply

And as I have stated on many other threads on this topic, a consensus has a definition that I am using. If I meant <consensus/consensus>, <consensus/amount>, or <consensus/amount> I would have said that.
As for the cost, yes it does. If the only way to propagate spam was to have a sidechannel to a miner that is socially coslty, technically costly, and still block weight costly.
If every peer you connect to rejects your transactions as invalid by not keeping it in their mempool, that make it a time and opportunity cost as well.
This always smack of the little girl throwing fish back into the ocean that washed ashore. She'll never be able to save them all but that's not the point. The ones she did save are grateful. Never tell anyone that doing what they believe has "little point" because it alone doesn't fix the problem. It is the agregate actions of many that do.

2025-05-01 16:55:18 UTC

- reply

Not the point. Disallowing things outright stops it...on your computer. THAT is the point. No one is under the illusion that this OP_RETURN limit prevents spam outright. It is a choice that should be left to the end user. If 99% of users disable the limit, arbitrary data is valid by consensus. If 99% keep the limitation, then arbitrary data is limited by consensus.
Taking away the choice is the contention not the spam itself.

The fact that you don't see the sardonicism in my reply is troubling.

2025-05-01 16:14:13 UTC

You are misunderstanding consensus in this context. Consensus is not something that will "still be in my blockchain data and utxo set" the nodes dictate valid. Miners offer candidates based on the CONSENSUS of the nodes they pull the previous transaction blocks from. Which is determined by the CONFIGURED ruleset.

2025-05-01 15:28:22 UTC

- reply

Lol, to have the most freedom of choice for the code 90% of Bitcoiners run at the moment.
Is that goal okay with you?

2025-05-01 15:26:45 UTC

- reply

It is not. Configuration is HOW you know what consensus is.
Example:
If I give you the Option to choose between the colors red, white, and blue.
Then 20% choose white
10% choose blue
70% choose red
The overwhelming consensus is that red is the prominent color. But that doesn't mean you'll NEVER see blue or white.
But if I say:
"Here is your option, the color red."
You will never see blue or white no matter what people prefer.
Removing configuration is removing choice.

It's nothing to do with UTXO bloat. It is the ability to control what you accept as valid on your computer. The UTXO set expansion does have limitations but it is the height of arrogance to think you know what the future holds with any clarity.
The crux of the argument is:
If I can't "Code my own" implementation do I have the right to configure what my node accepts as valid?
If no, then why is it right that the Bitcoin Network "censors" Ethereum transactions as "invalid" they paid for space on the block in ETH, why does every node reject it?
The only answer with any ethical consistency with "A permissionless money" is allow nodes to filter transactions or not depending on their preference.

Well, when I sell my services there's a surcharge for having me convert fiat into real money. First the credit processing fee then another 2-3% to cover the conversion spread on the exchange I convert to bitcoin on. So, let's say I charge around 5.2 million sats, it would be equivalent to 260,000 extra sats and I convert the price from there.

That's not my argument. I'm not a utilitarian. Both things are bad. I agree that public property is a problem. The point I am making is one of force.

Lol, the comment about majority precludes mention about the exception case you cited. So, yeah, I get that that 1 guy is an exception.
Secondly, it is absolutely forced association strictly BECAUSE of the forced sharing of public property. That's kinda my whole point. I don't believe in public property but because it is forced upon me I have to care about my associations due to it.
It's easy to see the forced disassociation but not the forced association to you? Read my bio, I am an anarchist not some statist but I can also recognize inconsistencies in morals.

Forced association- massive illegal immigration
Or
Forced Disassociation- massive illegal immigrant deportation

Due process is the process through which determinations about legality of actions are determined correct?
In the case of immigrants, production of proof of citizenship should assuage the crime of illegal entry. The act of producing or failing to prduce proof is the due process, right? Am I just unaware of cases where people are not identified and then deported based on no other facts?

Yeah, that's his point. You literally describe what "arbitrary" means to those two implementations. And arbitrary is literally when you do something by whim or impulse and not with necessity or priciple.
Writing "Nic sucks" on a dollar bill is arbitrary data that degrades the financial integrity of the bill and makes an arbitrary statement not for the purpose of a financial transaction. Writing that is leveraging the monetary value of the bill to force others to read your message. Do you see?

Robosats aren't really for my inflows anymore but more for getting cash for things I can pay in cash with. As far as cost basis I would just say, in most scenarios that are not KYC, there is no evidence of your cost basis so, do what you will with that info. As far as KYC bitcoin, a few movements through a few adresses in different amounts, also make it difficult to confirm cost basis to an outside auditor so, there's that.
