Show Notes
Hodlonaut joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about his controversial decision to first support and then withdraw support for BIP-110, the proposed soft fork targeting spam and data abuse on Bitcoin.

Thanks for the podcast. I agree with almost everything. One more specific point I would add: every additional development on Bitcoin increases complexity and with it the risk of errors. Each new layer makes us more dependent on developers, on how they interpret the code, and how they assess trade-offs. The more complex the system becomes, the harder it is for the network as a whole to evaluate changes and make sound…

Great conversation. I'm a believer in "strong opinions loosely held'. There's nothing wrong with reassessment and changing your mind at any time, although it doesn't seem like there's any major disagreement with hodlonaut's views and those of BIP-110 supporters. Regardless, I respect his choice to withdraw support. Taking a non-committal view while assessing is always wise. An episode with Giacomo on the topic next…
