Breaking: this sign seen outside the homes of multiple Core devs
Discussion
I just love it 😂😂🤣
Looks like rainbow indoctrination flag colors?
it's a reference to this yard sign, which is popular in the USA: https://www.vispronet.com/in-this-house-we-believe-yard-sign
I can put one similar as well but it will state:
all lives matter
protect human rights (men and women are humans)
no human is illegal on planet Earth (but different countries have different citizens and not every one is citizen of every country)
science is real when its not faked
love is love (adults ony if its more than love ...)
true kindness is everything
getting rid of valid transactions from one's mempool doesn't solve any problem, unless the usage of the alternative is the majority, so filters DO NOT work
> [a filter] doesn't solve any problem
Surely it solves the problem of "how do I purge my mempool of spam transactions?"
sure, but it doesn't get rid of those transactions on the network
Like in email. Your mail server probably doesn't accept mails with an attachment of 1 Terrabyte.
Although the network and protocolls(tcp/ip, mail) support them.
There may be mailservers accepting any sized mail and even forward them, but why should you accept these obvious spam/ddos-mails?
There are other, better protocolls for big files, sane persons use ftp or torrent for things like that.
Same with the btc network.
you misunderstand something critical, you STILL get those transactions.
you get them if/when a miner mines them
but (1) you *didn't* propagate them to miners (2) you *did* reduce that miner's block propagation speed
those are two benefits you lose by opting for Bitcoin Core's mempool software
I agree with you two points above. But, unfortunately, it's is those miners with stricter filters who are disadvantaged by reduced block propagation speed 😓
That's a different problem altogether. Which you won't fix by bending over. Once Knots and better tools for decentralized block templates are the norm it will change.
"the network" is just "other people's computers." I don't care what they want to store in their mempools. I don't want to store spam in mine. *That* is the problem Knots solves.
You do realize that 1MB (blocksize) divided by 100KB is only 10 "transactions." If they had no other data. You're going from around 7 transactions per second to 1 JPG per minute.
Note: this is satire, I do not think any Core dev holds all of these opinions
either you want to #exploitthebloat or you don't. pretty black & white to me.
I do find it amusing that #knots has caused a divide in #core.
C'mon, be a man, and initiate a #hardfork -- you have the expertise to pull that off! Until then #Knot #filters will be an old teethless dog on a chain barking -- loud but powerless.
Currently near 100% of nodes have these filters. There are no raw continuous 100KB JPGs in the blockchain. I, along with at least 21% of other node runners, would like to keep it that way. Keep 4chan off our blockchain. #RunningKnots
Lets see:
PLEBS ARE MORONS
I don't see Core devs suggesting this. I'm not a Core dev, I consider myself a pleb, so I disagree.
Core devs could spend more effort on getting their knowledge to the plebs, though.
YOUR NODE DOESN'T MATTER
Insofar as to what gets in the blockchain, your node doesn't matter. With this qualification it's true.
NO TX IS NON-STANDARD
Core rejects many TXs as non-standard, mainly for DoS protection, which is important for the robustness of the network. Not true.
FILTERS DON'T WORK
That's a fact. Filters cannot prevent unwanted TXs to get confirmed.
JPEGS AND ALTCOINS WELCOME
That's something others put in their mouth. I hear more of "We don't want monkeydick jpegs, but if we can't stop them at the consensus level, there is not much sensible to do."
RUN BITCOIN CORE
The only reasonable thing to do currently!
>I don't see Core devs suggesting this. I'm not a Core dev, I consider myself a pleb, so I disagree.
Gloria Zhao gave a "pop quiz" to plebs to demonstrate her intellectual superiority. Ironically most plebs got it correct and she got ratio'd so bad she had to turn off her account.
