Telling people that doing something might result in legal problems is simply warning them. He's not legally threatening anything or anyone lol

this seems pretty disingenuous to me given that anyone can already put criminal images in the chain. feels like Bcash or Craig Wright and someone with ulterior motives more than actually trying to secure bitcoin
Agree to disagree. I think its disingenuous to remove context of data storage. Backdoor work-a-rounds can be morally and (potentially) legally justified if those work-a-rounds are being addressed or attempting to be thwarted. When data storage just becomes another use case its much harder to make moral and/or legal justifications.
Which- if knots camp is correct (time will tell) puts a unnecessary burden on pleb full node runners over time.
Without pleb noderunners I wouldn't be so optimistic on bitcoin on a long time horizon. Trust very well might slowly erode if node count goes down over time. Turning bitcoin into just another shitcoin.
We shall see.
this is fair. and I agree we should be making it easier for plebs to run nodes, not harder. thanks for taking the time to respond, it’s nice having real conversations and not just arguing online. i’m trying to learn lol
