So to feed the crickets. 'Spam' by the definition of team knots is deemed to be not a legitimate use even if a sufficient fee is paid. Maybe the council of not legitimate use will decide if my tx is allowed, by their moral standards of course. Sounds statist as fuck. Same vibes.

Filtering the *kind* of transaction is and always has been explicitly necessary. If you think it’s censorship, then congratulations, you’ve used a censored network from the very moment you found Bitcoin.

There are a plethora of “censorship” including of course the OP_RETURN limit that’s been in place for more than a decade. As well as strict transaction formatting, op code/sig ordering, explicit relationships required between the components, I mean you could go on for hours or days with all the stuff that’s not allowed in a Bitcoin transaction. I’m curious why you are so accepting of this censorship, but if someone suggests that pictures of dicks should filtered, suddenly you seem to have a serious problem with it? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think the cult around a not very well proved client implementation seems a bit odd.

We'll find out if this a setup for the next bearmarket and if drama around will manifest.

And I think it is retarded to store pictures on the time chain. But even sstoshi did store his white paper here so filtering how to use and what to store seems hypocritical too. Even if I know that the fiat side will try *everything* to slow down this train. And their main tool is to create problems and provide 'the solution'. So here are some bells ringin, too.

So I will just wait and see how this, seemingly, battle of the greater war will turn out.

And if bitcoin should fail then it wasn't good enough and the fiateers are what they pretend to be - almighty.

Just for the record, Satoshi did not store the whitepaper on the timechain. And if you are meaning his timestamp in the genesis block, it wasn’t op_return or a modified witness or anything, it was in the input script. This is a place that’s explicitly customizable by the miner and doesn’t cause any UTXO bloat or modify any purpose of any field, but uses it for the very thing it’s designed for.

Others have embedded the whitepaper on chain. But this was well after Satoshi’s era.
