if most nodes upgrade to core 30, and csam penetrates the blockchain, then csam will be preserved on knots. am i right?

bullshit

On the one hand, no CSAM-distribution platform should get to claim ignorance about the data if the files are not called .jpg but .dat. But on the other hand, the Bitcoin network can hardly be called a CSAM-distribution platform or protocol, given the high costs involved in distribution.

I haven't tried Knots, but I'm pretty sure Bitcoin Core doesn't show pictures even if you put valid JPEG or PNG data into a transaction. So the client can't be claimed to be for viewing CSAM, and those who actually want to view that content wouldn't download the blockchain or monitor the mempool to get a byte of CSAM per gigabyte of data. There really are better tools for the job.

A client that could read image data in OP_RETURN data can trivially be extended to read image data in more obfuscated parts of the blockchain. To claim that having to know the serialization of a transaction so you can clip off any extra data is somehow trivial - while doing the same thing and concatenating multiple 40-byte OP_RETURN scripts to see if there's an image - is mental gymnastics.

But you're only concerned about illegal content in the mempool and don't want to be complicit in it, while you ignore it once it's in the blockchain. So how would a file-sharing protocol look if it were to use the mempool and Bitcoin network for that purpose?

A mempool-based file-sharing protocol would have to use actual UTXOs and sufficient fees to make the cut into the 300 MB default mempool - but please, without getting mined, a 100 kB picture would cost $120 at least. So the protocol would rely on a backlog being reliably available, or else it would be expensive even at 1 sat/vB. But let's assume we somehow get to full mempools again. That file-sharing system piggybacking on Bitcoin would snipe some of the last 5% of the mempool to spread globally but without getting mined? A file-sharing system with a total capacity of 15 MB? To claim that this was actually file-sharing and not simply trolling to attack Bitcoin would be ridiculous.

this is the time for smaller blocks and showing how many namecoin blocks ocean.xyz has mined

Oh no, an old fedcoin pulls the rug!

What a surprise. Monero fixed that.

Run Knots to keep Bitcoin free of spam and decentralized.

i need deep translations on this😌

bitcoin doesnt care about legal entities consideration of CSAM

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

I do not agree.

We can today storage data on any restaurant menu any nobody is requesting a full KYC before opening a menu when I want to order pizza.

Putting something we calle "data" on any medium does not make it illegal.

Me thinks....

In other words, Bitcoin is a monetary network and it should JUST be a monetary network.

This is what's being said here, nothing else. This is pure conservatism, there's nothing new being argued here. This is a statement to keep and focus on Bitcoin as a monetary network only.

No data, no images, no nothing, just monetary data, as neutral and specific as possible. Like it has been working until now. Focus on has been working until now and try to keep like that as much as possible. It's in essence a form of monetary conservatism too.

On the other side, Bitcoin core 30> is more experimental, more open. That's the new idea. This is the old way.

Or am I missing something here?

The primary focus ought to be on ensuring that the potential cimiinalization of the blockchain would be irrelevent. Node runners ought to maintain complete control over their filter policies; but, that pales in comparison to maintaining their permissionlessness.

GM! 🤓

What are other reasons to not use core 30? #asknostr

Core 30 smells really disgusting

What is the feasibility of correcting the oversights introduced by Segwit & Taproot?

If I were a force of evil on earth threatened by BTC, I would secretly get core to spread illegal stuff onto bitcoin, then "save everyone" by publicly crucifying core and allowing only "government-approved" BTC nodes.

Got a question for you Luke.I get it.Shits gonna get worse with all these CSAM/CP problem and all...later on. Knots node runners gonna get drag in this whole mess and so does core.The thing is... all these ' bitcoin-game ' narrative ( bitcoin price manipulation/ mining firm activities / bitcoin marketing strategy etc )...is orchestrated by BlackRock. And I'm sure core is under their payroll as well together with major mining firms. With all these stuffs that's about to happen...wouldn't it destroys BlackRock's credibility from the investors point of view ? Do you really think BlackRock will pull the trigger and shoot themselves on the foot? That's practically suicide.Just my two sats.

Bitcoin can be criminalized for dozens of reasons beyond CSAM. Assuming that Bitcoin inherits its security by being compliant with legal behavior is a gross ignorance of how the network is designed and how the security model functions. Your arguments are rooted in appealing to peoples reactionary emotions rather than reasoned thinking.

and then bitcoin will be officially a shitcoin

If someone wants to create a new wheel is same shit like Knots, is my belive I want no wheel where isn’t round in his self because it’s perfect ✨✌️🫶
