So you think software based system don’t get easier to use? How long have you run a bitcoin node for? It used to be sort of a pain in the ass to run a node. It’s now much easier. I really think you need more time learning the fundamentals of this network before you form such strong opinions.

Think TCP/IP. Btw your not honest here. Ease of running’s node has zero to do with the Bitcoin code.
It was an example. Running a node used to be harder and now it can be done by total retards. Using the internet before tim berners Lee was difficult. Using the www before google was challenging.
Do you understand?
Anything that is software based can be made easy. Someone could vibe code a program to make embedding content into multiple bitcoin coin transactions as simple as using an op return.
It’s a dumb argument to rest your case on. It’s a fucking relay policy default. Change the setting if you don’t like it.
How are you even still responding to me? Are you for real? I mean, I know I'm taking the bait, every single time, but man.
What the heck kind of argument are you trying now? That software gets easier to use so let's just let CSAM on chain? You're either a bot or something's up.
No the argument is there is no software problem that stays difficult for long so worrying about a relay policy default is retarded. You can change the default or you can run knots or you can just not run a node which is probably the reality.
If your argument is small op return will keep illegal material off the chain you have some growing up to do.
I'll say it one last time.
Before core v30. CSAM was difficult to put on Bitcoin's network.
After core v30. CSAM is now much easier to put on Bitcoin's network.
CSAM is one of THE most disgusting and horrible things in this world. It is vile and destroys life. It belongs nowhere, and should be supported by no one.
Anything that promotes it, makes it easier or simpler to distribute or doesn't try to extinguish it, is wrong - morally wrong.
Bitcoin is money. Bitcoin should not be built to facilitate anything but money.
We are having two different conversations. No one is arguing in favor of csam, you just fail to grasp reality. Putting arbitrary data into 1000 transactions vs 1 large op return is not really that different. It’s literally software…so line a script to automate things.
If you depend on software being slightly more difficult to operate to protect you I fear you will live in disappointment.
I've always been having the one convo. I couldn't be clearer.
You support the change to make arbitrary data easier to store on Bitcoin, I do not. I question why the change was made in the first place, and that we do not need the change, especially if it supports easier distribution of CSAM, you do not.
You say I'm retarded, need to grow up and accept reality, I say Bitcoin is money and changes to it blur that line are unnecessary, and in this case, wrong.
