A timechain full of child porn that no one can stop or remove hands significant ammo to anti-bitcoin politicians. Why wouldn’t we do all we can to prevent that…even if we couldn’t block all spam?
Discussion
There’s already been illicit content on every bitcoin node for years now… accept it and move on.
Nope. I won’t accept it. I’ll fight it. I switched to Knots where I have a greater control over my node. Not sure why you wouldn’t want to limit child porn on the blockchain, unless you’re into that kind of thing … maybe Core is.
The effort you put into blocking this sort of thing with your node is completely fucking useless. Put equivalent effort into attacking the problem at the root.
How much effort does it take to run Knots instead of Core and choose my settings? I’ve already made the switch, and I can tell you it doesn’t take much. Making this change ISN’T useless. No, my one node won’t do much to fix this issue (beyond my node), but I voted with my feet by leaving Core over an issue that’s important. Each node operator can cast their own vote regarding this issue based on which software they choose to run. The ability to choose is an important right…and the big migration to Knots in recent weeks is a really important start!
I'm not saying it's a lot of effort. I'm saying it's pointless because the same shit will make it onchain regardless. Spend your time fighting the actual problem and not trying to patrol what content is available on an uncensorsble Blockchain
Well damn. I considered storing information on the blockchain before, (email specifically) but I never fully considered the implications. I want to see what happens if people start uploading CP to the Bitcoin blockchain.
Would it damage the price of Bitcoin? Would chain analysis tools be restricted? Or would it get people to rethink the reasonableness of child porn laws?
Personally I trust the mantra "nothing ever happens." People would just pretend that the child porn doesn't exist, or come up with a retarded rationalization for why it doesn't count.
let‘s say it’s AI generated and shows EU functionaries. Would Europe be stupid enough to prosecute nodes and miners?
UK & AU will be just as tyrannical, fearful and predatory as the EU. I wouldn't even trust today's Singapore.
Uploading an image to the Bitcoin blockchain would be expensive enough. Buying enough CSAM to train an AI to generate it would be prohibitively expensive. I don't mean to virtue signal, but my child porn collection isn't anywhere close to the size of the FBI's collection, and I sincerely doubt they'd be fine with their CP being used to incriminate globalists.
have you considered to run a gofundme?
"Go Fund Me! I neen money so I can pay for child rape!" To be honest, I did not consider that possibility.
But I don't believe in asking for money for something unless I believe it's worth the price. I myself would never contribute to a Gofundme like that since I don't believe that the high cost of child porn is worth the benefit of screwing with globalists.
OK, another idea: run for a public office to put price caps on child porn and then buy with tax money
I refuse. Price caps are immoral.
Besides, there are already laws against pirating child porn and there are many who still break those laws. Even if the state made price caps, most sellers would probably just ignore the price caps. Alas, all that tax revenue falls through the state's fingers. Ah well, the biggest cost of child porn is to children's modesty anyway, so it's not really something we can extract or control anyway. Not to virtue signal or anything.
Also, if I'm going to run for public office just to make AI generated CP depicting a public official, why not just run for office and then make child porn the old fasioned way? Faith in public officials would be in shambles...
you‘re right! That’s the way: introduce adult child intercourse in schools’ teaching schedule and film the practical exercises
Man, that just sounds like some supid pedophile smut story. There's just way too much going on in it. I already told you from the start that I didn't see much point in seriously considering this. Elaborate plans and schemes can never accomplish as much at just talking with someone can, in which case all of these extra details are entirely gratuitous.
damn, then I have to cancel the order for the camera on amazon
