Trust has always been opaque to me.
This:
the relationship between sats contributed and a stacker's influence on item ranking is not linear, it's logarithmic: the effect a stacker's zap has on an item's ranking is trust*log10(total zap amount). This basically means that 10 sats equal 1 vote, 100 sats 2, 1000 sats 3, and so on ... all values in between and above 0 are valid as well.
And this:
The only consideration that factors into a stacker's trust level is whether or not they are zapping good content. Zap amounts do not impact stackers' trust scores.
from the faq are pretty clear, and yet I've struggled to keep them in mind.
It fells like no-trust will make things a little easier to think about.
Thanks for the clarification and the info! This does alleviate my sadness a little.
However, I still don't see why it is better to introduce the specific block validation rule "Transactions whose witness-stripped serialized size is exactly 64 bytes are invalid" than to try to find a client-based solution that doesn't change add to block validation rules.
In general, I really like the GCC, and I'm hopeful that we will see progress on that front. Of all the various soft fork proposals I've heard about since Taproot, GCC is the most interesting to me.
How easy is it to acquire bitcoin in Australia?
In the US (where I'm based), acquiring bitcoin means either kyc-ing (gov't idea, photo, address, phone) or using Bisq or robosats.
Is it generally the case that one must kyc?
yes. that's an interesting way of putting it. It does seem like one could balance the trade-offs here and come up with a solution that works without banning transactions of one specific size.
I don't think "the pattern can be changed" -- it's a problem that is really specific to 64 byte transactions. But I do think it might be worth just living with the problem instead of having a weird rule that bans 64 byte transactions but allows 63 byte transactions and 65 byte transactions.
Hey! good job on putting pencil to paper. I've found the best thing for long writing projects is to just force yourself to work on it every day. Sometimes you spend an hour or two and get nowhere, sometimes you make tracks. But it's the turning and returning to it that builds the story, like the many lines of a drawing.
How difficult is it to acquire bitcoin in Argentina?
In the US, pretty much all the exchanges require extensive kyc, but it isn't too difficult to use something like Bisq or robosats.
I do it all the time. We've been given a paradigm of thinking that we are interacting with a persona and it just kinda naturally roles out.

also, why would satoshi's coins be any different than anyone else's? They're satoshi's coins, not yours or mine, and therefore, the only person who should decide what to do with them is satoshi.
