op_ctv scales bitcoin transactions in time, instead of just space. allowing you, the receiver, to decide when you want to pay the fee for confirmation. zero trust required. is code complete . has been reviewed. and ready to be merged. #op_ctv #2024

my current position on drivechain. I would support drivechain, if there was consensus, because of it's ability to scale op_return data, and the potential to move ordinals off the main chain.

fees are not priced in dollars - no matter how many tweets about high fees on your timeline with a dollar sign in the middle at 300 sats per byte - a bitcoin transaction spending 0.1 btc or 10 million sats - would be equivalent of a 1% fee this is where the money utility out
