No. I don't have the time nor energy to get into the nuances of the debate.

All I see is shady behavior around the topic (independent of the topic itself). Can you tell me like I have 80iq why all of this changes to opreturn stuff is happening now and what's the purpose? In whos interest is this and why is it good for Bitcoin? I'm being open minded but I'm also suspicious of changes and their consequences.

It's been discussed so many times at this point. Technically, this is a huge nothingburger. The PR, if merged, is going to have literally next to no effect on anything.

Non-technically it's a huge LARP of influencers versus engineers. Influencers rallying up confused users like you (none of them understand how code works and they'll say this is discrimination). Engineers trying to explain why this is all so extremely retarded.

It's not even worth to pick a side. The damage on Core's credibility (which is valuable and worth protecting) is the real danger.

Ok, but why change in the first place? If it's no big deal, why all the drama? For what?

You literally creating the drama right now, so maybe you should answer that question: why?

Don't Believe The Vibe 🌱🍋🍊 8mo ago

I'm trying to understand. The feeds are full with this stuff every day these days and they are biased af from both directions. Maybe that's just how I realize it. If I'm creating drama by asking simple questions, okay I will stop. But then I still don't know why I should support any change to a technical nothingburger. Nevermind. It doesn't matter.

I'd suggest you zoom out, look at your nym, and stick to it, "don't believe the hype". The hype is around a technical misunderstanding of the expression "filters work". Filters DO work keeping spam off YOUR OWN node. They DO NOT work in keeping spam off the chain.

The proposed change improves the overall network, while taking some choice away from node runners.

Core's task isn't to give maximum freedom to node runners (they have maximum freedom anyway, because open source). Their task is to keep the network in the best possible condition.

Given that spam prevention only works for nodes, but never for the network, their decision is technically 100% sound.

don't stop asking questions

id be suss anyone that tells you to stop asking questions, you're allowed to ask questions, they don't have to answer if they don't want

there's lots of info around from lots angles so asking questions can help clarify points , or develop deeper understanding

you do you and good luck ✌

Drama for drama’s sake. They’re doing it because it’s confusing and there are people who will follow ideological arguments without understanding what is actually happening…like sheep.

Lots of people want to see bitcoin fail, sowing dissent in the community is one way to increase the odds of that happening
