Nostr Web Client

My thoughts on Bitcoin transactions and filters:

If you’ve ever run an email server, you already understand how filters work. Spam filters don’t block 100% of junk mail, but they stop an incredible amount. Consider that nearly half of all email worldwide is spam. That's wild! Should email providers and clients abandon spam filtering just because some messages slip through and filter updates are an ongoing task? 😂 Of course not. That would be insane.

At the end of the day it's great to have multiple options for Bitcoin clients. Run whichever you feel is best for you and for the type of network you support.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the analogy go more like this: your client (Knots, Core pre v30) filters the spam but Google (e.g. MARA) decides to put it back to your inbox anyway with no way for you to delete it? I don't want illegal stuff on my node and I do not have a good solution to propose but I think it's more complicated than just client side filtering.

This is a pretty close. I would say email filtering does not really apply here, it's too different.

You have an old paper archive and stop all customers that do not come with paper but every 10 days a huge dumptruck arrives and unloads on the property.
