Nonsense, ChatGPT can't do anything for you.

Firstly, were it not for ChatGPT it would be her magic 8 ball, her local shaman or some other nonsense. There is a thing called chance, by chance someone can win using any source of numbers. As time passes every possible scenario will play out. Secondly, this is a classic case of survivorship bias. For this winner you won't read about the thousands and thousands of people who tried this and didn't succeed.

It could have this but it does not. There is no such thing as lucky numbers. There are numbers which may have a statistically slightly higher chance of occurring based on historical data. You can do this computation yourself and you would get much more accurate results than what ChatGPT would provide you. Still, this would not guarantee that you would win anything ever.

Bitcoin already fulfills all of these functions. People have the wrong impression that these are binary scales, either you are fulfilling it or you are not. That is incorrect. You can fulfill some functions less and others more. Further, people tend to point out that something is being fulfilled less without providing context or reasons why this is so.

This tends to be referred to as the weakest link but primarily because people have a very limited understanding of the world. There are countries where the dollar is often used as a unit of account despite them having their own currency. Does this mean that their own currency is failing as a unit of account? Of course not, that would be ridiculous. The unit of account part is highly dependent on human habits and the context of where the human is, it often does not say anything about the money in question.

Assume the following: Everyone is listing their second hand computers on a reseller website in dollars. I want to use Bitcoin as a unit of account, I am a Bitcoin maxi. How do I know that I am not going to get a bad deal, i.e., sell my computer for too cheap? That's right, I have to look at what everyone else is doing and compare it. I can't just say alright I am selling my computer for 50 000 satoshi. It could be way too little or way too much. This issue becomes significantly worse if you are selling products that rely on procuring goods (or you are selling the goods themselves) from distributors. You could easily bankrupt yourself by not paying attention to the USD value of the BTC amount that you are using for the unit of account. Most people are not going to want to be doing this back and forth on a regular basis, so they will just skip the intermediary unit of account (Bitcoin) and default to USD.

The unit of account becomes relevant only after hyperbitcoinization, it is not a prerequisite for hyperbitcoinization to happen. It is a bit like the chicken and egg problem.

Lifting the OP RETURN limit is so trivial that someone without coding skills could do it with the help of AI. If they have mined any non standard OP_RETURNs in the past then they have been running a custom patch.

1. Misinformation.
2. Luke-jr capitalizing on misinformation to regain some relevance for himself and Knots.
3. Paid campaigns.

There are many other ways to create the junk that are more detrimental, so OP_RETURN is the least of our problems.

Sounds about right. It isn't that bad at all I'd say, especially considering the blockchain sizes of shitcoins. I wonder if 5-10TB SSDs will be the standard by then.

1. The OP_RETURN limit doesn't do anything.
2. Running knots does not prevent OP_RETURN transactions in any significant way.
3. There has been no significant change with the network since the release of Core v30.

The seller is not going to get into any serious trouble for this. You need to compare this to real world items. Do you get in trouble if the next owner of whatever it is that you sold does something with the item that you sold? There are even cases where the handover of the item is done before the complete legal transition of the ownership is complete depending on where you live. So if someone kills intentionally someone with a car that is under my name, do I go to prison for murder? Of course not.

Yes.

No. The worst thing that could happen to you is that you get convinced for some degree of fraud. Nothing else besides that is going to happen. As I believed I have mentioned before in this thread, the people who are commenting here absolutely have zero knowledge about the KYC market. It is a huge market, the supply is tremendous and it is pushing the prices of things down. If people were regularly going to prison for selling their KYC then the supply would diminish and the prices would go up. That's not the current state of things.

This is a sad joke. The existence of KYC laws is what is "very wrong". The trading of KYC accounts and services is a response to an useless and totalitarian law that does not do anything at all against crime.

What are you trying to imply here? I can't have fun and have a proper bankroll management? Unless you are depositing more money or bringing more money to the table then you can have as much fun as you want. It is possible to be disciplined and gamble like you are a teenager discovering the world. Not all adults are boring even if most of them are, you know?  

The logic of OP doesn't make sense at all, it is quite stupid in fact. We know according to the basics that:

• A person should not gamble with the goal of earning money, it never works out.
• Instead they should gamble for entertainment and have a good bankroll management.

So according to OP I should gamble for entertainment in a way that is boring?  

The irony, he thinks he understood this post and then he mentions altcoin "investors" 

The irony with shitcoiners is that they have called the Lightning Network, an amazing and extremely well working L2 vaporware for years and meanwhile they call paid tweets "partnerships". 99.9% partnerships that are announced by shitcoin projects are complete vaporware.

Staking is trash, POS is one of the biggest scams that shitcoiners managed to pull on retail. It is great to see yourself earning 10-20% APR, meanwhile the value of your holdings is down 50-90% in the same time period. 

Usually if they didn't at least partially red pill themselves there is no way to get through to them.

Just because you think this that doesn't validate your opinion in any way. Unless you have a solution to this problem, your opinion is practically worthless. If you spend more time reading about this topic you will see that there are no ways to prevent arbitrary embedding. If we removed OP_RETURN fully on a consensus level this would lead to embedding of data in ways that are much worse.

Monero has many flaws of its own, the only benefit that it has is the transaction privacy. Don't exaggerate, especially not when it almost underwent a successful 51% attack.

You can tell them to do it and if they say No, what are you going to do about it? You said it yourself Bitcoin must be a permissionless network but at the same time you want to dictate to others how they should do things. These 2 stances are not compatible, and in any case no attacker will listen to you.

The escalation is unfortunate, but both parties are right to some extent. What JJG is doing is great. Imagine reading all those junk posts in hopes of finding legitimate users to merit, I do not have the iron-man patience needed do that because 99% of those posts are pure and generic trash. On the other hand nutildah is also right. One of the reasons I never tread into the Speculation section and those mega threads is that most of the posts there are the stupidest and most generic bullshit possible. Most people are replying to each other, even to their own accounts and farming colleagues with the same pattern of posts.

What JJG is doing is honorable and he should continue to do it, but at the same time he could adjust his meriting strategy. IMHO in a section that is as bad as that one it would be better to reward original or unusual posts with more merit and ignore the generic posts completely. It is always better to give out fewer merit in total than to distribute it all among mediocre third world spammers. And if by any chance theymos said something else regarding this in the past, ignore him as he's frequently wrong on many things. 

I don't see any significant change in anything, anywhere.

Unfortunately there are many people who are stilled convinced that running Knots will prevent the OP Return spam. I think this will need a few more months until we see some clarity. I didn't update my node yet either but I intend to.

If not then, where are the many threads where you have seen me criticize Nigerians?

What is criticism if not simply a more eloquently worded insult?  

That's a good example of why this place has a big spamming problem. People are minding their business to maximize their earnings and stay out of trouble.  

I'll take abandonment any day over being surrounded by Pakistani or Nigerian child molesters. Thank you.
