@JoeConsorti No, you're just wrong.
Let me demystify your video for everyone who hasn't watched it yet: it's all false.

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@FossGregfoss @RaoulGMI True, but you are reposting a scammer!

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@beeforbacon1 @w_s_bitcoin ... or run nodes.

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@knutsvanholm I hope Luke is coding a POW change for you!

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@knutsvanholm Just patched my node. Every new block now drops 1 BTC straight into my wallet. Coolest Bitcoin ever!
Need some sats? I've got more than I know what to do with. 😎

@Roughnecks110 Bitcoin isn't one database. It's two:

- The blockchain: the append-only log.
- The UTXO set: the current state.

History and reality, working together.

@LukeDashjr @zndtoshi OK, comparing against the theoretical maximum isn't a fair benchmark. Most people expected blocks around 1.6–1.8 MB.
1.6 MB × 144 blocks/day × 365 days ≈ 85 GB/year.

So who is actually lying, Luke?

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@LukeDashjr @zndtoshi Theoretical max: ~210 GB/year.
144 × 4MB = 576 MB/day
576 × 365 ≈ 210GB/year

Actual since SegWit: ~70 GB/year average.
Who is lying?

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@LukeDashjr @MajorianBTC It is not possible for my node to accept an invalid block. If you change the definition of what is valid, that is your problem, not mine.

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@LukeDashjr @MajorianBTC LoL What?!

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@TomerStrolight @w_s_bitcoin @MrHodl @hodlonaut @newzealandhodl @BTCForevercast Who is “we”?

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@nvk if you put new version every hour, you should use nn:nn:nn versioning

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@utexocom @WDK_tether I got excited for a moment, then I saw that it was all JavaScript 😬

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@evankaloudis @BitcoinCoderBob Or.. wait for dollar sat parity and just use $

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@MrHodl @theonevortex @jgarzik Off by one Garzik 😂

[Mantis @btcmantis]

@bergealex4 Arkade is looking seriously cool... but NBXplorer, really?
I know @NicolasDorier has done a great job with it, but that requirement keeps bugging me 😅
Can someone please rewrite the indexer in Go already?!

[Mantis @btcmantis]

Logic is defenseless against stupidity!

@AsherHopp @MrHodl @ProductionReady @Excellion @jimmysong @parkeralewis @jratcliff It’s not an alternative client, it’s just Bitcoin Core. If you really want alternatives check btcd or libbitcoin.
