The debate around Bitcoin Knots, block filtering, and "spam" is loud, but how much Hashrate is actually enforcing stricter rules on-chain right now?
I queried the on-chain data for the last 30 days to find out. The result is stark:
🟦 Knots / Ocean: ~1.4% 🟧 Core / Others: ~98.6%
The on-chain vote remains clear. For now.
Methodology Note: This chart identifies blocks specifically tagged with known Ocean/Knots coinbase parameters. Solo miners using Knots without tagging cannot be distinguished from Core nodes via BigQuery public data.
👀 Tomorrow: I will analyze the actual block data (avg transaction size) to prove if this 1.4% is truly filtering "spam" or just talking about it.
