When you don’t have the ability to censor things you don’t want then you don’t have freedom at all

Idk mixed feelings

Because I agree with you but the flip side of that coin

Is

There should not be any censorship

It’s supposed to be censorship resistant remember

Bitcoin is censorship-resistant MONEY,

NOT a censorship-resistant MULTI-PURPOSE PROTOCOL.

Idk it could be

Depends on who you ask

Depends on your world view really

This is exactly why we don't want large miners to have an unfair advantage over small miners...

Yes, but if it is the justification for 1200X the OP_RETURN size — a change the community found contentious and that Core pushed through with a heavy hand, sounds weak.

The extra revenue from Slipstream is marginal.

adds, what, a 1% edge at best? Block rewards still make up the overwhelming majority of miner income.

No one is changing the Op_return size allowed on chain, they are bringing mempool in line with what's aleady allowed on chain.

Mining is a cut throat business with ultra thin margins, 1% is huge, which is why miners are running parallel transaction markets for transactions that mempool doesn't relay.

TLDR

lol really? it's two paragraphs man

Yep I looked at it and said naw

Two angles here.

I can’t keep you from yapping. Right.

But you can’t force me to listen. I don’t have to have you in my living room.

Freedom of association.

Walter Block have some great talks or segments on this.

Thanks, will check!

It wouldn't be censorship... censorship is when you would normally have the right to say something (for example printing "it's good to be white" on your owned newspaper) and someone else violently prevents you from doing that (for example the government threatening you with jail time).

When you reject a transaction from your own node, it is called discrimination, and it's very healthy. Like discriminating ugly women from being your girlfriend, or communists from being your friends.

Um

Maybe I use the wrong word

Im not good in English

But you get what I mean
