There is no urgency or emergency for this change Doctor at this stage of the game……….

Necessity is not present currently right now……….

Even my physician cannot justify a scan of my body without a justifying symptom or history……….

#Bitcoin, being in its nascency, should not be changed without a strong reason/rationale or impending functional degradation that is anticipated………..

I see none of that….

I agree. Even if everyone could see why this change is someday necessary, I still see reasons to oppose the change…

Another seemingly unrelated tidbit that I think is massively important to this debate: have you heard of the obfuscation key bitcoin uses for storing data in its blockchain? This has a subtle but very meaningful effect on prosecuting CSAM storage as a crime…

So the kiddy porn on your node is not saved in a readable format without the key. It would be bad if antivirus software insisted on deleting or cleaning a database file!

I was wondering when someone would bring up the XOR’ing of the blocks but I that’s still just basic decoding… just like decoding a jpeg from Bitcoin blocks that aren’t XOR’ed. The xor key is hardcoded unless you specify your own in the conf file. So it’s not a secret.

I’m not saying kiddie porn isn’t available from the blockchain already. But I am saying it does take work to possess it
