What does PeerSwap do?

• Multiple optional swap types.
  • Currently BTC & L-BTC onchain swaps.
  • Additional wallet options can be implemented.

Except Peerswap uses Liquid

True.
And also BCH enabled much bigger blocks, which hurts decentralization. Meanwhile BIP-110 aims to do the opposite by reducing block bloat caused by inscriptions.
So the comparison to BCH makes no sense.

correct

It can be activated early if at least 55% of blocks signal for it in one 2016 block period.

The mining pools that use Stratum V1 yes. And that's probably a majority of the hashrate. It's this centralized unfortunately.

I believe they’re 50 Megahash each 😂

50 MH/s ?? A CPU can do better than that. It's probably 50 GH/s.

Pollard's Kangaroo is an algorithm for solving the discrete logarithm problem (or in the Bitcoin case: solving the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP)) where you already know that the secret scalar you are trying to find is within a certain range.

$Q=k\ast G$
You know $Q$ (the public key)
You know $G$ (the generator point of secp256k1)
You are trying to find $k$ (the private key)

The time complexity of Pollard's Kangaroo is $O(\sqrt{n})$
The time complexity of a naive brute force search is $O(n)$

btcpuzzle.info is a real world test of brute force limits

Pollard's Kangaroo is faster than brute force

And BIP110 is by definition a soft fork.

Soft forks tighten the rules, so they are backwards compatible with the old more lax rules.
Hard forks introduce new rules that are invalid under the old rules.
Important distinction.

Each fork is an opportunity to profit from stupid people, doubling your BTC stash (if you know how and when to do it).

Only in case of a hard fork

Yeah, so ridiculous how people make a fuss about quantum computers when they cannot even factor such small numbers.

The biggest problem in my opinion are inscriptions, because they exploit the witness discount and therefore bloat blocks up to 4MB, accelerating chain growth.

OP_RETURN data is less of a problem, since it is actually priced appropriately at 1 byte = 4 weight units.

So the ideal soft fork in my opinion would be to just get rid of the witness discount. Then there would be no incentive for inscriptions anymore, since they would be more expensive than OP_RETURN. And the block size limit would once again be 1MB.

The hostility towards spammers does seem to have had an effect though: The 0.1 sat/vB mempool just cleared. 🥳

Same thing happened to me last year. Revolut froze my account after doing a few trades on Robosats.

Honestly, I wouldn't have put it past her, seeing that she seemed very tolerant of shitcoins and NFTs on Bitcoin.

Because they sell the hashrate at a premium.

Oof, let's hope she has better security on her GitHub account.
