That's freakin' beautiful. @k00b, I'd like to nominate this to be the SN motto.

Undisciplined

Was about to comment the same thing. Definitely something to keep in mind when discussing with someone with diverging opinions. We all have our own reality. Our own truth. My wife keeps reminding me of that, in less eloquent terms, but the same message.

That second paragraph easily is among the very best I've read on SN. Thanks for that.

slow & steady *proper behaviors* always beat rushed *improper behaviors* in the long run; running *improper software* hoping for speedy adoption... fuck around & find out, as usual; what's gonna be growing is the collective Ego that's gonna be flushed down the toilet en masse, in due course; shitcoiners never learn, cuz their minds & flesh are polluted;

"Purists" (even though there isn't really such a thing) have been outnumbered since forever. "Purists" just win battles sometimes because the garden variety Hearn repeater is often careless in the tradeoffs they assume the whole must be okay with to mandatorily adapt, and at critical times the conservative angle is one of safety. It's a spectrum anyway, not really absolute. I may be more conservative than you, but more progressive than someone else when we discuss the merit of Spark. And on some other topic the roles may be flipped.

Please, don't tell me what to do, anon. If you think that I am delusional, let's discuss the alleged delusion, not the merit of my being outside the walls of your box. You don't know whether I am outside of it because I perceive reality differently, or because I am pursuing a current non-reality to transform things into, that is radically different from what you perceive as truth. Maybe I am not having all these privileges you're assuming everyone has, and my reality would be different for you too were you in my situation, location, social position. Or maybe I am simply insane, who knows (most likely, haha.)

 do anything this will eliminate the purism. That's not really how I've participated in the bitcoin ecosystem these past years. We always have had diverse angles, a very wide range of goals and we all just agree on some very abstract consensus rules that make the blocks into a nice chain.

There's no need for demarcations. There is no us vs them. Not everything needs to be polarized. Let's just try to discuss things, preferably without too much savagery.

Bottom line, SN could definitely use growth. Reducing friction is a great way to at least disable the inverse of that, but it is really, really hard because the problem space of connected wallets is small. Only a few people are working on solving it.

Either way, if "Purists" `need to` do anything this will eliminate the purism. That's not really how I've participated in the bitcoin ecosystem these past years. We always have had diverse angles, a very wide range of goals and we all just agree on some very abstract consensus rules that make the blocks into a nice chain.
