I’ve sold and notrunning a node anymore. If core 30 goes through as planned and consensus rules allow larger jpegs of things that are illegal to store, I’m not coming back. It doesn’t take a core developer to understand this.

thats fine, bitcoin doesn’t care
There’s a good chance I know that bitcoin doesn’t care, qnd I know I haven’t contributed to it as much as most of you.
But this is still an ass hole move, and a dismissal of my time and efforts. I’m trying my best to not become a salty enemy of bitcoin now, but toxic bullshit like this…
You could just quote eric hughes: Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we may not deceive ourselves. I think you may be focusing on the next line, where he says they will not be moved out of their course, and being disengenuous about that first part.
Genuine question from someone who doesn't understand WTF is going on and what side to take. If I don't want to save JPEGs on my node, is Knots the best choice for that (currently) or would not running any node be the only way moving forward?
Charlie's concern seems valid to me or is this not a concern? nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpzdmhxw309aex2mrp0yhx5c34x5hxxmmdqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvyzvgs2
Bitcoin may not care but I do and I assume other node runners likely will.
knots does not prevent jpegs from getting saved on your node, knots can't do that because it's the same consensus code as bitcoin core
Wow ok that changes things 😅 I'm running knots anyway purely randomly as I thought I'd try that when setting up the Umbrel (before all this) I assumed id be unaffected.
Awwww csam on a public immutable ledger easy arrest, less pdf out in world and this is bad how?
What happens to perpetrators is irrelevant to the node operator, as once said content passed through consensus rules it has to be stored and shared, unless the node opts out of the network altogether, or in some way avoids part of the chain by running pruned. As far as I know, there is no pruned way to avoid csam with a pruned node as it is more about which blocks when, not content. And neither should someone who wants to run a full archive node have to comply with such things. I’m not a fed, and we’re not talking AML. It’s a fundamental difference between free speech and expectations to host and share things that are counter-productive to our species and to knowingly do so.
