I didn’t say you don’t have an opinion, I said your opinion is useless because you’re not actually enforcing it.

You’re virtue signaling for likes on social media. Nothing about running Knots or attacking Core devs does anything to remove spam off the bitcoin blockchain.

I think it does. It's a signal for stronger spam measures in the future. If Core aren't up for it, other true Bitcoiners can step up and stop this Rollup crap they have planned.

It’s a completely useless and ineffective signal. Which is worse than no signal- it shows that you have no power. A sign of weakness.

And it incentives miners to start building private relay networks instead of people using the public mempool, and that’s a very bad trend.

There is no public mempool.

Don't discount shit posting and memes making fun of them. Psychological combat works too.

Yes, I know different nodes have different mempools.

My point is that you’re pushing more transaction into private relays that miners operate themselves.

This create MORE centralization. Small mining pools won’t be able to build these relay mechanisms.

You’re not protecting bitcoin, you’re damaging it.

It doesn't. It's the opposite of what you say. By removing filters they then open the door to more spam and crap like rollups that will do more damage and value extract from Bitcoin. It is also signalling to miners that these transactions are not wanted.

But you’re wrong. Filters do nothing to stop β€œspam and crap.”

It clearly does, that's why they need it removed.

No, it doesn’t. Those exact same transactions you’re filtering can and are added to blocks. Filtering is stupid, useless, and counterproductive. It’s all larping.

This is where we have a different opinion and you are blindsided by it being a "technical" issue. It isn't.
