No, it's keeping the fence up on m garden even though people can jump over it. It signals my property and correct behaviour and usage. Dude, either you want sound money or you don't, there is no in-between. This isn't a technical issue , please stop larping as though it is.

Wow, what a useful fence!

BTW, that's a gate. Of course it won't work If you don't build it right. The answer is to make it better instead of pulling down.

If you’re not willing to fork the chain, nothing you do will work.

Actually, not even forking will work, because there’s countless different ways to embed arbitrary data in a blockchain. You’ll never be able to stop all of them.

It’s all meaningless maxi purity virtue signaling. Peak retarded behavior.

Of course it is, I should know my place and not question the mighty Core Devs.

No. Please question Core devs. Constantly review and check them.

But you should actually know what you’re talking about. Which you (and every caught up in Luke/Mechanic’s crusade) don’t.

A huge signal you are also missing is that people (the market) doesn't want this spam on chain or they would be using ALTs like ETH and Solana where it has "utility".

Therefore the QED anger at Bitcoin Devs for helping facilitate this garbage.

Core devs aren’t β€œfacilitating this garbage.”

It’s very simple. You cannot accurately predict the next block if you’re deliberately ignoring certain transactions. This is very bad for fee estimation, mining centralization, and other aspects of the ecosystem.

You, like most of the people on this stupid crusade, haven’t seriously thought through the ramifications of what you support (or even if it’s even effective), because it’s really all about virtue signaling that you’re a β€œpure” maxi.

They are, with the spam filters removed, more spam can be built on Bitcoin like rollups.

Where are the proposals from Core to make spam harder? Oh they can't be bothered with that bcos they own companies that spam on Bitcoin.

Wake the fuck up.

More gaslighting.

"you dont have an opinion unless you fork"

Why even have a discussion then about anything? As soon as you disagree with a Core PR you think someone should just say nothing and fork immediately even before its merged?

I didn’t say you don’t have an opinion, I said your opinion is useless because you’re not actually enforcing it.

You’re virtue signaling for likes on social media. Nothing about running Knots or attacking Core devs does anything to remove spam off the bitcoin blockchain.

I think it does. It's a signal for stronger spam measures in the future. If Core aren't up for it, other true Bitcoiners can step up and stop this Rollup crap they have planned.

It’s a completely useless and ineffective signal. Which is worse than no signal- it shows that you have no power. A sign of weakness.

And it incentives miners to start building private relay networks instead of people using the public mempool, and that’s a very bad trend.

There is no public mempool.

Don't discount shit posting and memes making fun of them. Psychological combat works too.

Yes, I know different nodes have different mempools.

My point is that you’re pushing more transaction into private relays that miners operate themselves.

This create MORE centralization. Small mining pools won’t be able to build these relay mechanisms.

You’re not protecting bitcoin, you’re damaging it.

It doesn't. It's the opposite of what you say. By removing filters they then open the door to more spam and crap like rollups that will do more damage and value extract from Bitcoin. It is also signalling to miners that these transactions are not wanted.

But you’re wrong. Filters do nothing to stop β€œspam and crap.”

It clearly does, that's why they need it removed.

No, it doesn’t. Those exact same transactions you’re filtering can and are added to blocks. Filtering is stupid, useless, and counterproductive. It’s all larping.

This is where we have a different opinion and you are blindsided by it being a "technical" issue. It isn't.
