@Melbustus
try this on as a possible long term strategy for us:
push for a SWHF with a+b<=4MB. this gives us our new block limit of 4MB, which should take us out maybe a coupla years for unfettered growth. we get our HF, allowing SW to be properly deployed with less technical debt and also cleaning up some long desired "bugs" like the integer flip in the protocol stack. we also eliminate the 75% discount putting both regular and SW tx's on a level playing field so as not to unfairly advantage LN p2sh multisigs. we get the malleability fix. we get the potential for Schnoor sig update. we get to prune old one time use sigs from the blockchain for a 60% storage increase efficiency. to mention a few things.
to get this pushed thru, we need to continue to educate the miners like
@Jihan that they have the power to push this type of strategy through. it's both camp's strategies combined into one. why wouldn't miners want this flexibility? that's essentially what they're asking for by the agreement with the dipshits in HK. my way hardcodes both options into the code and gives users and miners the freedom of choice to use whichever types of tx's they feel is in their best interest. yes, if we're right, most will probably choose onchain regular tx's.
in the meantime, Blockstream offchain products starve. we continue to hammer gmax, Lukey, and the small blockists for their hypocritical, handwavy, financially conflicted self interests and ignorant economic ideologies. Blockstream blows thru their $76M funding. and they go bankrupt. kore dev loses their credibility and new leaders take the helm as maintainers.
what's not to like?
