Spam “filtering” is a slippery slope.

First they filter out the JPEG transactions. They call it spam.

Then they filter out coinjoin whirlpool transactions. They call it “potential illicit transactions”.

Then they filter out your bitcoin transactions. Because you said something deemed wrong by the state for “hate speech” or “spreading misinformation”.

Before you know it every mining pool is legally required to follow these dictates due to “regulatory compliance”.

Welcome to the new dystopian world without even needing a CBDC or a social credit system. All because you scared of JPEGs inscribed into Bitcoin blockchain. nostr:note1elu6wygvxckga6t27kyckw5w4u0jwkeud3ssdy40efcxqcds0smqgmyeyv

We should allow any transaction without any rules. The ability to enforce any rules is a slippery slope.

Style note: This is why we dont build products based on exploits.

How is a transaction that someone is willing to pay a transaction fee, an exploit?

I would like to know the answer too ..

Ask yourself why a coinjoin implementation needs to use Op_return data at all…

I’m pro controversy because everyone thinks they know what bitcoin stands for. Free markets are free markets for mining and transactions
