If Blackrock was saying certain #bitcoin transactions were invalid and should be removed from the chain, you'd be screaming.

But a core dev you agree with says it and you support censorship.

You realize the entire point of the protocol is to classify certain transactions as valid and certain transactions as invalid, right?

bitcoin.rocks 2y ago

Yes, and the protocol has deemed the transactions in question as valid.

Now a bunch of humans think the protocol is wrong and should be changed.

They can go fork themselves 😂

Literally not true. The parameter you're referring to is purposefully configurable even in Bitcoin Core. It's configurable in Knots as well. Only difference is the default value - again which is designed to be configurable

I run core with this setting at 40Mb, am I censoring?

bitcoin.rocks 2y ago

Yes, and non-censoring miners will include it and force you to store it anyway.

Why is this a configurable setting? What other configurable settings should remain at their default if I don't want to censor people?

“Hey there’s an edge case in multisig where it doesn’t need any valid keys, should we make default to not relay those transactions?”

Slippery slope. My node will not censor.

brah 2y ago

Your node censors all the time
