thoughts? I don’t really have a strong stance on inscriptions but it would seem censoring tx or spam filtering and forgoing fees is a disincentive to use the pool if I want the most bang for my hash

I’m def not a fan of the ordinals 💩 but yeah censoring transactions is bad move ! So what’s next on the plate ?KYC ?

100% bad move to censor

But the marketing “more decentralized” lol

It’s gone off the rails pretty quick, but I don’t like slating something before it’s even up and running for a while. It’s great people are trying to solve an issue in mining

You can't stop the pooping in the park if you're not willing to kick out the people doing the pooping.

They want to combat network attacks from people who have been openly hostile toward bitcoin, & combat KYC mining & govt driven censorship.

Censorship isn’t the way to do it! Ordinals will be priced out by itself! They can’t keep burning the money you know. Just a matter of time

Fee paying valid Bitcoin transactions should be mined. I do not support anyone verbally or with hash power who chooses to exclude transactions.

I think this could just be a clash of principles. Some are against NFTs on Bitcoins and put off by it, and some against restrictions of transactions are are put of by it. Often time, one way to gauge is what benefits humanity.

NFT on Bitcoin started off with the promise of classy and exclusive, and ended up with with dick pics. And it can get worse - you don't want to be mining and transacting on blocks with genocides, child porno etc. People can convincingly and genuinely believe it wont happen, but if there is an allowance and support to, it could and it will. And this will become one of the easiest excuses for countries not to adopt Bitcoin.

There was a time, for a few centuries, where human trade was hailed as peak global economic boost, even historical pump and dumps on companies executing this. People genuinely thought it was ok to capture Africans and sell off them to work as slaves. There was a time people thought it was ok to capture Asians and Africans and display them in museums across the US. Humans are not always rational and kind beings.

When it comes to clash of principles, maybe one way to think about this is what will benefit humanity and mankind, and actively push for it.

I think actively pushing out distractions and staying strongly focused on using Bitcoin as money will benefit humanity.
