[9:30:31 am] <viaj3ro> best argument for LOT=false imho is that 91% of
miners signaled support for LOT=false and might activate quickly if
chosen. If LOT=true is chosen, they might refuse and we'll have to wait
the full year

[9:31:14 am] <luke-jr> viaj3ro: that is not based in reality..

[9:32:03 am] <viaj3ro> it's an assumption, obviously. but still based on public information

[9:32:04 am] <hsjoberg> viaj3ro: Well so be it, at least we get the
Taproot for sure then. And most nodes will probably have upgraded by
them which would lead to a safer softfork

[9:32:49 am] <harding> luke-jr: I don't know why you'd think viaj3ro's
comment isn't based in reality.  I don't know what miners will do in
that case, and I'm not sure you have a much better perspective than I
do.

[9:33:16 am] <luke-jr> harding: 2017 was much more contentious and miners still complied

[9:34:05 am] <harding> luke-jr: I read viaj3ro point as miners making us
wait until nearly the last minute to get taproot, which only requires
~10% of hashrate to be bitter.  That seems plausible to me.

[9:34:26 am] <luke-jr> harding: then they just prove it was necessary; doesn't make sense

[9:34:52 am] <harding> luke-jr: people being bitter normally doesn't make logical sense.
[9:35:02 am] <harding> (In the short run, at least.)

[9:35:31 am] <luke-jr> harding: well, then it is more important we don't
leave room for shenanigans :P

[9:35:58 am] <darosior> luke-jr: i believe opens the door for more sheningans, it's way more controversial
[9:36:02 am] <darosior> LOT=true*

[9:36:05 am] <harding> luke-jr: I think viaj3ro's point is that there's
still room for some amount of shenanigans even if we still eventually
get taproot.

[9:36:48 am] <@michaelfolkson> LOT = TRUE ARGUMENTS OVER. WE ARE MOVING ONTO LOT = FALSE ARGUMENTS

[9:36:50 am] <viaj3ro> harding: this and that there is currently no
reason to believe they will not activate quickly if lot=false is chosen+
