It was possible all the time 🙄 and Core 30 doesn’t change anything about it. Not even Knots can change it

My questions to this response are:
Does it make it easier? Does it increase my risk as a node runner of unknowingly storing and distributing illegal content?
I’m pro whatever makes it harder and/or reduces my risk.
No it doesn't make it any easier or harder. Filters don't dictate what gets mined.
But filters **_could_** make it very difficult, IF mining was sufficiently decentralized. The cost of out of band tx's should reflect the probability for a miner hitting a block. If mining is decentralized, that probability is low. If blocks are full, then the cost of an out of band transaction is that much higher.
Decentralizing mining is the real fight. This move seems like they're trying to make that fight irrelevant, like someone is afraid they're about to lose. Is it coincidence that the Knots guys are also running Ocean? It doesn't look like it to me.
No it can't. And counter to your point, more decentralized mining may make it even easier. Decentralization of mining has nothing to do with how full blocks are.
You're right, it's not coincidence. They're fleecing you. You've been convinced that mining on ocean and running knots is the morally superior stance.
I've been convinced that people can do harm, and harm tends to escalate. And forget Ocean - if you have a bitaxe in your closet, and think you're doing your part, then you should see that decentralization is the key. If someone comes to you with some money and a file and pays you to put it on bitcoin in the next block you hit, you will smile and take his money and that file is most likely going to die when your harddrive dies. That out of band transaction went nowhere. So we need to keep this trash out of band, and focus on mining. Lifting the filter is just the wrong strategy.
Mining is already sufficiently decentralized. Game theory dictate the structure will remain close to the current landscape. There will always be a few big miners. It's nice to have more little guys but it won't make Bitcoin any more secure to have more decentralization of miners. It will make it more secure just based on their being more hashrate. Mining decentralization matters most geographically, not so much separate actors.
Regardless, mining isn't an issue imo and I wrote an article recently if you're interested in reading it. Bitcoin is built to withstand any concern in this field. It's own immune system is the only thing that fixes it, and it does so every time. No single pool or actor is going to magically make anything better or more resilient. Bitcoin will do that on its own.

If you don't know what OP_PUSHDATA# is and why it's not the same, dont speak.
If you don’t interpret the data you don’t see anything 🙄
You obviously don't know what hex bytes in contiguous format versus segregated PUSHDATA is. You can copy the bytes from the output, and paste them into VLC and see an image.
If you copy current outputs(with pushdata sperators) you will NOT see an image.
:rolls eyes:
As I said you have to do extra steps to interpret the data! 🙄
Fucking donkey
Extra steps like have a computer? Run software? Have a monitor? Use a keyboard? Which steps are "extra" to you?
shut up 🤫
You don’t get it 😂😂😂
Ahhh, the classic retort when your argument fails. Good luck with that.
You fucking idiot don’t even recognized that you supported my statement that the data is not readable without other tools 😂😂😂
And you don't understand that you are drawing an arbitrary line about the tools whereas I am drawing a line about data. Please keep calling me an idiot by the way, it looks good to others.
Do you dumb fuck really think I care about what others think 😂😂😂
You supported my argument and I already won. That’s enough to me
Haha, you sound kind of autistic, so I'll stop picking on you. I am sorry you can't grasp rational thought. Good luck little guy.
