BITCOIN RAILS #43: A HISTORY OF “SPAM” on BITCOIN | with Peter Todd 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: “You cannot prevent arbitrary data from being published in Bitcoin transactions. Even at the consensus level…It’s mathematically impossible.” Legendary Bitcoin contributor since 2009 and self-described "weirdo with a fine arts degree," Peter Todd joins me to unpack the endless wars over Bitcoin's "true purpose," his pioneering work putting "spam" on the blockchain, and why he believes attempts to filter transactions are just “silly.” In this episode, we get deep into the history of using Bitcoin for data storage - which goes back, at least, to the development of Namecoin in 2011. Relatedly, we cover the history and long-fought governance battles around OP_RETURN, relay policy, and our community's evolving definitions of "arbitrary data. Suffice it to say, the Filter Wars of 2024/25 are not new... they are simply one battle in a decade+ war we unpack in detail in this context-rich episode of Bitcoin Rails. In more detail, this episode covers: - The development of Open Time Stamps + Bitcoin's use in validating election data and beyond. - OPRETURN battles of the early days... and how its use has evolved over the past decade. - Why Bitcoin Core "should not try to censor transactions" and the "performance art project" (Libre Relay) that shows why. - Bitcoin as a "replicated database" and why blockchains may legitimately be useful outside of sound money. - Why preventing arbitrary data on Bitcoin is "mathematically impossible" ...and trying to stop it is only distracting us from "more important" efforts, like the Great Consensus Cleanup Antoine Poinsot. This episode of Bitcoin Rails is powered by: - Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. - Spark (Lightspark) — a statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. - Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋) — the leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor.

🔁 REPOST, recorded June 2024. Everything Luke Dashjr warned about is happening right now. Luke Dashjr - Is Bitcoin In A Civil War? Three or four entities decide what goes into every Bitcoin block. Most "miners" don't even know what they're mining. And if too few of us run nodes, Bitcoin quietly becomes a CBDC. The Bitcoin Core developer who caught the accidental 2013 hard fork before it broke the network came on to explain why mining is dangerously centralized, why the spam wave is a coordinated attack, and why he built a pool to fight back. Luke Dashjr, Bitcoin Core developer with 200+ contributions and maintainer of the BIPs, founder and CTO of Ocean, and the man who detected and helped stop the 2013 chain split, joins me to lay out the fight over Bitcoin's future in plain English: the difference between a real miner and a "hasher" who just sells compute, how three or four pools (really Bitmain) control what goes in every block, the invisible tax hiding inside FPPS, why he calls the spam wave a funded attack to destroy Bitcoin, why Bitcoin becomes a CBDC if too few of us run our own nodes, whether we are already in a civil war, and how Ocean is trying to hand block construction back to miners. Send this to anyone who thinks Bitcoin mining is decentralized. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:50 Who is Luke Dashjr 04:09 The rabbit hole: his first patch in 2011 06:06 When Bitcoin became essential (there's no plan B) 10:09 Eligius: the first non-custodial mining pool 12:13 Why he started Ocean 13:50 The real consequences of pool centralization 16:34 Hasher vs miner: who actually mines? 18:36 How FPPS pays you, and what it hides 20:05 Why big pools become proxies for Bitmain 22:35 The launch, and why "censorship" became the word 24:49 What Bitcoin is actually built for 26:40 How to define spam 33:06 "The people behind the spam are out to destroy Bitcoin" 34:47 How the attack gets funded by gamifying it 37:13 Is this an existential threat? 38:48 Run a node, or Bitcoin becomes a CBDC 40:09 Bootstrapping a mining pool from zero 45:40 What non-miners can actually do to help 46:31 Should Bitcoin ossify, or keep upgrading? 49:24 How censorship-resistant is Bitcoin today? 50:00 Is Bitcoin already in a civil war? 51:10 Would the good guys still win a block size war today? 55:53 Ocean's roadmap: decentralizing block construction 1:00:07 How Ocean got its name (Jack Dorsey's nudge) 1:01:53 Do we have a problem in Bitcoin culture? 1:03:22 What Bitcoin means to Luke 1:07:11 The clause: Ocean can do no harm to Bitcoin 1:08:10 Where to find Luke + OCEAN 🎧 Then watch the sequel with Hardfork Kratter, The The Bitcoin Matrix Podcast ⚡️ #279: "Bitcoin Core Has Gone Rogue." 🎧

Bitcoin isn't digital gold. It's not locked in by math. You can kill it. The man who ran money at Peter Thiel's hedge fund came on to explain who's trying — and why the only thing protecting Bitcoin is the people who run nodes. Matthew R. Kratter #BIP-110 — Bitcoin University founder, former Clarium / Thiel-world macro trader, early Palantir investor — joins me to lay out the fight consuming Bitcoin right now in plain English: why he says Bitcoin Core has "gone rogue," the spam war over OP_RETURN and BIP-110 he calls Bitcoin's last stand, why consensus flows from culture and not code, who actually controls the network (hint: not the miners), and how to mine Bitcoin from home for about $10 a day. Send this to anyone who thinks Bitcoin can't be stopped. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:00 Physics dropout to literature — Stanford & Berkeley 05:27 René Girard & meeting Peter Thiel 07:56 Becoming a trader: Thiel Macro → Clarium 12:43 The PayPal mafia, network effects & the dot-com bottom 20:23 Global macro at Clarium & the 2003 housing-blowup call 24:08 Napster, PayPal & the "new world currency" 28:32 Government as the ultimate customer — Palantir & the CIA (In-Q-Tel) 36:00 Deep-state roots — is Peter Thiel captured? 49:32 Culture is upstream of consensus 57:00 Bitcoin isn't magic — nodes, immutability & the spam risk 1:01:42 Why spam is a problem — tragedy of the commons 1:04:30 Spam since Satoshi & the 2014 OP_RETURN war 1:14:30 The changing of the guard at Bitcoin Core 1:18:43 Core uncaps OP_RETURN to 100,000 bytes 1:28:00 Consensus flows from culture — the 2nd Amendment analogy 1:35:20 BIP-110 — the temporary soft fork 1:44:00 Why small blocks — and running nodes in Cuba 2:18:55 SegWit & the 2017 UASF — how 500 nodes won 2:24:00 The miners are just employees — node runners set the rules 2:41:46 "Firing the miners" — changing proof-of-work 2:55:18 Bitcoin Core went rogue — the last stand 2:58:50 You can kill Bitcoin 3:01:20 Mine Bitcoin from home for ~$10/day, KYC-free 3:11:09 Where to find Matt ▶️

BITCOIN RAILS #34: Bitcoin’s Security & Quantum Risks—and the Future of Satoshi’s Coins | with Jameson Lopp Jameson Lopp “Most people don’t think about security until it’s too late,” says the Casa co-founder and CSO. One of the most prolific thought-leaders in Bitcoin security and privacy, there are few people who understand the nuances of Bitcoin security quite as deeply - not to mention the OPSEC practices required to protect against wrench attacks, for instance, which are rising globally as Bitcoin price increases. More recently, Lopp has turned his attention to mitigating Bitcoin’s quantum vulnerabilities, including market risks associated with quantum-vulnerable Satoshi’s Coins + longer-term strategies for quantum-hardening of Bitcoin addresses long term. In this special episode of Bitcoin Rails, we cover: - Lopp’s experiences designing self-custody products at both BitGo and Casa - The swatting attack he suffered in 2017, and the radical steps he’s taken to secure his home location since - The ‘quantum computing’ challenge for Bitcoin and its impacts on Satoshi’s Coins - How the network may respond to QCs in the face of ossification and why QC preparation may be the hardest governance test the network has ever faced This episode is powered by: - Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳), the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing - Spark (Lightspark), a statechains implementation leading the path towards institutional adoption of Bitcoin-powered payments - Citrea (Citrea), the leading Bitcoin Rollup technology and contributor to the BitVM alliance 📌 Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Quantum Computing Meets Bitcoin 00:19 – Jameson Lopp on the Bitcoin Rails 00:53 – The Quantum Threat to Bitcoin Security 06:32 – Lopp’s Path into Bitcoin & Security 12:58 – The Swatting Attack During the Block Size Wars 25:28 – Could Quantum Crack Satoshi’s Coins? 43:55 – Announcements & Sponsors Messages 45:30 – Building Bitcoin’s Quantum Resistance 47:00 – QBTC and the Push for Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin 48:43 – Why Changing Bitcoin Is So Hard 51:19 – Email Protocols, Ossification, and Bitcoin’s Future 01:01:53 – A Roadmap for Quantum Resistance

With over 25 years in global investment banking and asset management, Richard now spearheads Syz’s $300m digital asset strategies and hosts the *Syz the Future* podcast. He’s also a Board Member at Relai, and an advisor to JAN3. In this conversation, he unpacks the moment the 2008 crisis revealed the flaws in fiat money, his early dismissal of Bitcoin, and how conviction finally took hold in 2018. We discuss the launch of Syz’s Bitcoin-denominated fund, the internal resistance it faced, and how it became the firm’s most successful product launch. Richard explains why “one Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin” and why he believes Bitcoin treasury companies act as the release valve for a mispriced financial system.
