Brother….. just say you haven’t been paying attention and therefore don’t have strong opinions on the matter.
There are only 2 sides. Side 1 supports what core is doing. Side 2 does not support what core is doing. It’s not rocket science. You can make a decision without hitching yourself to knots.
I don’t have a “desire” to see everyone pick a side. Only those whose opinions matter and can make a difference.
I have been paying too much attention .. Hours of podcasts and discussions here ...
I will probably just run core 29 just to humble those blue haired core devs.
But that's it. Apart from this signaling it does not matter what mempool policy I or anybody else (except mining pools, which are like 10 entities) runs on their node.
100kB OP_RETURN is consensus.
And it does not even make sense to use it for spam since ordinals use witness data which is cheaper and has no limit (whole block can be 1 jpeg)
Running v29 forever is not a solution
Hosting and distributing 100kb of contiguous CSAM blobs is a real and obvious risk
Running a node will become a liability
So much for sovereign money and not trusting third parties
