If you’re broke like most people around the world it won’t matter how bad you want to transact.

The real issue is not so much expensive fees, but rather the bloating of the UTXO set, which is bad on its own, but also raises the hardware requirements needed to run a full node. Being able to run a full node is one of the things that makes bitcoin unique and special. There are other harms from JPEGs and CORE changing the default settings that makes it easier for more spam to end up on the network.

I really don’t know how you keep missing the point on these issues.

Try running a node from scratch with a Raspberry Pi and tell me how it goes. Then tell me how that is not s negative for decentralization and Bitcoin as a network

I don't think running node on Raspberry pis is the way into the future. They're meant for tinkerers, not a multi trillion network

You can get more powerful used x86 computers for much cheaper than a raspberry pi. Does anyone still think using a raspberry pi for a node is a good idea?

That’s not the point

The fact that we could run a node on such crappy hardware kids use in school meant the network could be extremely decentralized.

And raspberry pi used to be cheap. I'm just staying you can still run a node for pretty cheap. Yes, the hardware demands will go up slowly, but it's not the end of decentralization as we know it.

And that happened with filtering on the nodes. So that shows it didn't help. Unlocking op return can only make it easier for low power nodes to process the blockchain.

Your solution to less spam on the network is less filters? Mmm ok

I thought you were concerned about running nodes on low cost hardware?

DRE 7mo ago

I want the cost to run a node to be low

I also don’t want to relay and store spam in my mempool
