e.g. if you update your bitcoin node and then days/weeks later it starts doing thing with segwit commitments that breaks your miners or pooling software, that is preferable. You would prefer the break to happen at upgrade time.

gmaxwell: So using tor hidden service over 443 would probably allow bypassing firewalls (assume some large company firewalls where only 80,443 is open) to connect to the bitcoin network?

Would ICE works for Bitcoin? Or would that require UDP? (maybe off-topic here)
< jonasschnelli>
Does bitcoin-cores UPNP (or UPNP in general) uses nat traversal or ICE? Or is the only way to get connection from the outside if your router supports uPNP and opens the port?

< jonasschnelli>
Adding something that could be called "detached signing" to bitcoin-core, would that require a BIP? Idea: during signing of a transaction, wallet can call/pipe a executable, send some transaction relevant information, wait for response, done.

< sipa>
this channel is about development of bitcoin core
< sipa>
i doubt many people involved with bitcoin core development are interested in this
< sipa>
sonlin: people were trying to innovate long before bitcoin had any value. increased value brought economic interest in influencing development with all associated politics
< sipa>
sonlin: as a developer, i believe it would strongly undermine trust in bitcoin as an independent decentralized currency
< sipa>
if bitcoin core were to introduce such a rule, i hope the community would refuse to run it
< sipa>
also, bitcoin developers don't set the rules
< sonlin>
But i was told by the developers that are making dsd that basically all bitcoin devs would switch over at once.
< sipa>
kanzure: now you give bitcoin developers an incentive to go pump those altcoins :p
< kanzure>
sipa: what about altcoins distributing payments to bitcoin developers as part of their protocol definitions?
< kanzure>
the funny thing is that altcoins should probably hard-code their developer subsidies to pay bitcoin developers, so that the bitcoin developers continue to work, since altcoins benefit mainly from that development activity, and that subsidy doesn't interfere with the bitcoin protocol definition. however, iirc, developers in the past have said they would not touch any of those subsidy payments anyway.
< sipa>
and we all want bitcoin to progress, but i don't think you do that by radically changing its economics
< sonlin>
I just want bitcoin to progress.
< sipa>
how do bitcoin holders decide?
< sonlin>
Bitcoin holders and a combination of other methods.

wizkid057, the exploding bitcoin spammer, somehow got op permissions on #bitcoin-wizards and is banning people. Can someone here take care of him?

luke-jr: nothing held back blocksizes from growing from 250k to 1mb... not even the defaults in bitcoin core-- or large increases in orphaning rates.
< luke-jr>
if they care about Bitcoin (but not per se enough to research their own opinion on block size limits), they should follow recommendations to set it lower.
