The uproar over nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze filtering what they consider to be transaction spam reminds me very much of when people were raging at Primal for filtering Semisol out of the trending feed.

In both cases, my take was the same: you can use a different client, and you can mine to a different pool.

#Bitcoin and #Nostr are both open protocols.

If you don't like what Ocean is doing, then don't give them your hashpower. If you agree that ordinals are transaction spam, you should point your hashpower to this pool.

Also, FWIW, it appears that whirlpool transactions were simply caught up in this filtering as an Innocent bystander due to their OP_RETURN byte size. 🤷

Not saying you shouldn't express your views on Nostr. Rage away if you want to and try to change other's minds about it if you feel compelled to. But more importantly, vote with your hashpower. 💪🫡
