it's bad for him to say that spam belongs on bitcoin. did you read the post?
Discussion
um
that wasn't what we were talking about?
and also
when did AA say "spam belongs on Bitcoin"?
When he said one persons spam is another persons content
which is objectively true.
large communities can't agree on the definition of "spam"
its always been this way.
yeah email service providers just gave up on filtering spam, didn't they?
email service providers are centralized and a trusted 3rd party,
and they often filter out email that people actually want to see and sometimes let the spam through.
exactly what point do you want to make here?
that we ought to filter out as much as we can to keep bitcoin money. but i know it's not as b&w as that.
I basically agree but lets look at it:
So we have a bunch of trusted third parties that issue spam filters that people apply to their mempools. there's no standard everybody just uses the one that they like.
But none of that matters at all, the only thing that really matters is what transaction the miners are looking at and they're using no filters at all because they want to get the transactions with the highest fees.
So you have a bunch of subgroups that Consciously avoid seeing particular transactions out of idealism. Meanwhile the miners just mine whatever will keep them competitive with the other miners.
See what I mean?
Miners don't decide what transactions go in blocks.
You need to read The Blocksize Wars by Jonathan Bier.
read it bro
i give up, who decides what txs go in blocks 😂
What economic incentive do I have to relay your spam?
answer my question first.
nice dodge.
bro
you can't accuse anyone of dodging when you yourself answer a question with another question
what was your questions... bro
you're saying miners dont decide what transactions go into blocks right?
so who decides what txs get into a block?

My understanding is that nodes set the rules. Miners then adhere to those rules before collecting transactions from the mempool.
