After almost five years without Nick Szabo, we've wrecked Bitcoin. He had to come back to tell us we're idiots.
In short, he told us that:
- We have to end the segwit discount.
- If we allow things in op_return, we will have to be able to remove it from a complete node, which is not possible now, or continue to limit op_return.
If the police catch you with 100 gigabytes of child pornography, you go to jail even if it's encrypted. This is worse; the police don't need to decrypt it, it's visible to everyone with a simple program. Do you expect not to go to jail?
You're stupid. It's a full-blown state attack, as I've been saying for a long time, and you've fallen into the trap.
Bitcoin is not storage, Bitcoin is money. Anything that does not involve monetary transactions should be censored because it is spam.
By the way, knots filter both segwit discounts and op_return and many other types of spam. If 90% of the nodes were knots, we would not have this problem on the table.
