Ok! 🫡

This would be a good place to start the rabbit hole… if you ran this through an ML model it’ll break down the logic of the underlying bitcoin consensus protocol and how block discovery/peer management stays honest

Miners don’t deviate and are reliant because they will be orphaned if they misbehave and this is expensive for them

Node runners don’t deviate (can’t deviate) because they’ll be observing a non honest chain (they formed their observation but it doesn’t change actual tx chain)

Miners AND node runners are *bound by consensus rules* to follow the same standard method for block discovery

It doesn’t matter if you’re running core, knits, libbitcoin, or some other impl that your grandma homebrewed with Satoshi Nakamoto himself

Anything after the code that looks like this >*/………../* and is grey are developer notes, that’s where we keep notes for anyone reviewing the code to explain each individual functions role in the overall program

Mining nodes are *incentivized* to behave

Non-economic nodes are reliant on code to “peer in” to the same honest chain for querying transaction data

You are bound to a trail with an immutable hash footprint

Any transaction that honors underlying protocol consensus is a *valid tx*

*non standard/out of band txs just mean non standard for an individual users mempool policy*

*mempool policy is a subjective, personal layer of observation- you can configure and change this of your own volition*

Bitcoin cores removal of op_return limits changes the fee environment for non-monetary transactions that are seen as *misbehaving*… it makes it costly to submit them rather than them being submitted and shoved into a different part of the witness data

This is actually in greater alignment with Satoshis vision and underlying consensus design

Strict mempool policies are NOT! They undermine privacy over a certain threshold of mining activity

You’re shooting yourself in the foot anon

Privacy txs are larger than 42-bytes

Why would you not want miners honoring private transactions?

Why would you want to incentivize a majority of minors to misbehave against the intended design?

This is manipulative at this point
