No - that’s you regulating your view of the network.
Bitcoin self-regulates through consensus and fees.
That’s the only form of self-regulation that matters at the protocol level.
Everything else is shadow-censorship and if enough nodes adopt the same filters, it stops being personal choice and starts becoming de facto control.
That's why Tolerant Minority matters.
Nonsense. If I as an individual decide not to listen to you, that is not censorship. No one else has a right to use my physical resources in ways I don't consent to.
Yes but that is not self-regulation of Bitcoin. That is not consensus and fees based trust less self regulation.
This is you regulating your node, applying tour own filters.
And those tx's still end up in your own node once they get included in a block — even if you initially filtered them.
In short:
You can’t keep them out forever — unless you fork.
So what's the problem? I use the standard core v29 filters/standardness rules, why should I need to change them. I haven't heard any compelling reason.
I don't have a problem. Just told you your understanding of self regulating mechanisms on bitcoin are wrong and in the end you filter shit because those tx's once mined still end up in your node.
Do what you wish with your node.
And I'm saying your wrong. Individuals deciding what software to run and how to configure that software is the only way Bitcoin can possibility self regulate, there is no other way - whether it's consensus rules or mempool policy.
Then you don't understand what self regulating mechanism is my friend. The name says it all: self regulating.
The only true, protocol level, self regulation in bitcoin is consensus and fees.
