1. Claiming that something that isn't activated (unusable) isn't used as a non-argument 2. Talking about activation methods is orthogonal. Bip8 is fine. 3. Covenants allow trustless utxos sharing and also are needed for vaulting. The numerous use cases are documented, built out and on signet to

Hi Erik > So what exactly are the risks of CTV over multi-sig? It is a strange comparison. Multisig is active onchain and is being used today for all sorts of things including Lightning and setups that address risk of single key loss or malicious signing. When discussing risks of CTV there are

Hey AJ Thanks for this, pretty much agree with all of it. It seems like a week doesn't go by now without a new individual popping out the woodwork proposing an upcoming activation of CTV with no new PoCs and no new insights. I'm not sure what it is about CTV (versus say other proposals) that it

Hi Bitcoin Developers, I think CTV is not ready for activation yet. Although I want it to be activated and use payment pools, we still have some work to do and AJ is correct that we need to build more apps that use CTV on signet. Reasons: - Apart from a few PoCs that do not achieve anything bi

Hi Luke, This is not the first time I am writing this but you keep ignoring it and threaten with URSF. Please build BIP 8 client with LOT=TRUE if you think its the best way to activate and share it so that users can run it. I had created this branch specifically for it but needed help which I d

This IS INDEED an attack on Bitcoin. It does not activate CTV - it would (if users are fooled into using it) give MINERS the OPTION to activate CTV. Nobody should run this, and if it gets any traction, it would behoove the community to develop and run a "URSF" making blocks signalling for it in
