My side? Again I’m not in a cult. I don’t have a side. I do recognize that you will never stop spam, and that filters create more issues than they solve and push spam into worse areas of the system.

You are also ignoring over a decade of cyberpunk knowledge around open decentralized protocols and how the legal system deals with them. As soon as you create a system where node operators can absolutely control what makes it onto the network the expectation by the state will be that you will comply with their demands. You tread a dangerous path on your righteous crusade.

As node runners we intend to preserve Bitcoin's primary usecase (money, not JPGs, not "data").

The current spam is obfuscated and fragmented (and Core is responsible for much of it by REFUSING to fix Inscriptions exploit bug).

100k OP_RETURN will allow for high fidelity CSAM images in an inmutable blockchain. We did not sign up for that crap, so forgive me if we are playing defense here by trying to preserve Bitcoin.

Watching bitcoiners invoke the states arguments against encryption during this debate is mind boggling. This virtue signally doesn’t work on most of us, why are you mugging for the normies cameras?

He didn’t offer a bug fix. He offered filtering. As we all know filtering won’t stop the inscriptions because it will only take a single pool to mine these transactions regardless of the filters. If you succeed in stopping all the pools one will emerge that will have a revenue stream that no others will and will pull in ever more hash rate as profit seeking is what underpins the entire bitcoin network. This is highly centralizing and far worse for bitcoin than some data you don’t like.
