I run a business accepting bitcoin.
I’ve onboarded 500+ bitcoiners into self custody.
I’ve run 4 top 30 lightning nodes either directly or for other people.
And I also have something against Luke who is emotionally manipulating lots of low IQ morons.
How low do you presume my iq is?
You guys and the name calling. Jeez
Great answer by the way. Really clears things up for me. I might have missed the more subtle nuance due to my low IQ though.
I don’t assume anything. If you follow the rubbish that is coming from Luke you clearly can’t assess facts from emotional fiction. I judge you based on your actions, not assumption.
Which facts?
If filters dont work, what's the issue? Cope harder
Who said there was an issue ? I’m just commenting on Luke pearl clutching to emotionally manipulate people.
For why reason? What is he gaining exactly by emotionally manipulating people.
People running his node. People mining on his pool? It’s a grift.
A grift? You don't like what ocean is doing? Do you know what they are doing?
I never said ocean was a grift. It’s a valid pool. Reread what I said.
Lemme just put this right here, so its as easy to see as possible :
And I’ll maintain. I never said ocean was a grift in what you posted :)
To the contrary. It gives the power to the Bitcoin Knots node runners and miners.
People have the freedom to configure Bitcoin Knots settings the way they want. Defaults are sane.
DATUM / Ocean offeres decentralized mining.
There’s no power. You’re not writing node software. You’ve just chosen a different social group to follow.
I have the freedom to choose my own settings. And yes you can call me part of the the different group, okay.
> I have the freedom to choose my own settings.
And have you? Chosen your own settings I mean. Or have you accepted the defaults in knots and followed the crowd.
You don’t have to answer here. You can reflect on your answer.
Yes, I filter out non-monetary spam.
I also solomine with Datum and Knots.
You didn’t answer my question. I asked if you chose your own settings. Did you review them. Understand them. Actively decide on them ? Or did you just run knots and virtue signal to the world ?
Yes, I made my own choice how to set my mempool.
See this note below. You can check out the videos. There is step by step guide for each option.
Respect.
Do you know the reason behind the change in Core V30?
> Do you know the reason behind the change in Core V30?
I do. Both the public reason, the speculations and the outright conspiracies.
What are the reasons? the public one and speculations
1. non commercial shit wants to happen on bitcoin
2. we have filters to discourage it
3. people work around filters and do more damage than if we just let it happen.
4. we relax filters
5. shit happens which is less damaging than #3
^^ official.
The speculations are around core being captured by interests which want the relaxation.
and of course following this with all the non relayable shit which get into blocks anyway because of direct miner APIs.
I suggest you read the article below and watch the video.
I'm already aware, that was my "interests" comment.
You can decide for yourself.
Just wanted to know your view.
to be clear here, my issue is not the debate on this topic (which is valid)
it's the pearl clutching and emotional manipulation by Luke.
Well, my issue lately was all manipulations and gaslighting by Core.
It didn't make sense at first but now its cristal clear.
At the discussion of this change on Github they censored opinions of Bitcoin contributors just for mentioning Citrea ... which was super strange for a Freedom project.
And then all the manipulative technical shit mixed with gaslightning and even attacking the Bitcoin Culture and Values.
I agree, core handled the entire thing really badly regardless of intent.
Yes but then the intent is the key here.
If you are fine with Ordinals and Runes and Bitcoin turning in something like Ethereum is fine.
To me, Ethereum is a shitcoin, and the below is spam
This is Bitcoin to me - Decentralized Freedom Money.
How do you feel about monetary L2's ?
What about (if different) non monetary L2's ?
Lightning is superb technology, small fast payments are needed. Bitcoin is Money.
For non monetary on L2 ... not terrible not great.
But I read BIPs 300/301 for bridging shitcoins I don't like that at all.
Bitcoin is Bitcoin, the only decentralized freedom money and should not introduce shitcoins.
Speaking of bad intents, forgot to add that
This is spammers business model.
You can pay now to add text to Bitcoin, to stay there forever.
You can notice it is limited to 80 Bytes because filters work.
Next it will be 100KB - images and what not bloat and spam
You just told him he didn't have to answer. You're very... strange...
But he did answer. By avoiding my question. Had they not have replied fine. But replying with a statement which looks like an answer while being vague and non committal is just weak.
> You're very... strange..
And you’re clearly very dim witted. Maybe spend time and think about what you type before you do.
The NPC assumes NPC behavior lol
I don’t assume anything. You’re replying to me asking a question. I’m literally doing the opposite of npc behaviour.
What did you write a reference implementation? Or did you just download a program and run defaults, and project that on everyone else.
Hope your right. I would rather be low IQ, then have bitcoin child porn all over the place. I hope I am misguided.
Isn’t it funny that instead of random
Data or butt/dick pics the narrative has changed to CSAM ? Ask yourself why ….,it’s to get this kind of emotional outrage style response.
Emotional outrage... About keeping a filter? Emotional outrage would be useful for changing something, not keeping it the same.
Maybe it is a grift. Let the child porn fly I guess.
They announce this change and he sees an opportunity to boost his fortune. Do I got that right?
I looked at your link. You're just shilling web3/AWS nonsense. I am not persuaded by your call for change. Try some other BlOcKcHaIn.
I've never shilled Web3 stuff ? show me where.
Because CSAM is a bigger threat, duh
It's all facts
...who don't consider Bitcoin Core to be the most Holy and Glorious Bitcoin node, and most thoroughly infallible, so why would anyone want to resist joining this Church of Core?
you sound like a fanatic, bro.
Careful now, you're quite close to sounding like a filthy shitcoiner that wants to have fun staying pri- I mean, poor.
