Imagine having to tell our kids:

We had this great opportunity to be free from the fiat criminal system that aligned banks and governments against us and made it able to control us and take our wealth, fund everlasting wars with it, and so on.

We didn't have to turn to violence to break this system, putting unimaginable numbers of human lives at stake, we only had to start using this new money, a system given to us for FREE....

"But daddy what happened ?"

Well we let it taken away from us since some thought it was nice to embed JPEG's and other bullshit onchain.....

And thats how shitcoiners do it.

I can't believe all the extremist views on something as stupid as this current OP_RETURN debate. It makes no sense to me. All this division about something that in the end does not really matter. I have no problem if you run core or knots or BTC_NODE.BAT but this, like everything else, will not be the turning point or even remotely the biggest problem we will face.

All this over dramatized stuff is much, much more toxic than anything core or knots can ever do wrong or make right for that matter.

Ur really super retarded if you think 100kb child porn pics all over the blockchain doesnt matter. The debate has become so emotionally charged because it is that retarded to think lightly about CHILD PORN.

i think you need to learn more

Always!

Issues stack little by little. The rot is long and almost unnoticeable until it’s too late. First was the unintended consequences of SegWit and Taproot. The exploits were left to be exploited although fixes were available. The UTXO set exploded. Spam became normalised. Controversial changes were announced, the pushback was ignored. Heavy handed top-down approach is being pushed aggressively. Risks are being ignored, criticism is waved off as being not technical and ignorant. Failing to see the political creep and dismissing it as unimportant is how frogs are being boiled. Don’t be the frogs.

yeah, this is why this weekend i am gonna set up my node again and add my filter to the network :)

filters work. just ask the Gmail team.

So, fork?

No need and can’t happen. The best short term fix is getting Knots adoption from 19% to 50%+. Other things will happen as a result.

It is more like a political tsunami than creep at this point. You may raise valid points, others may raise valid arguments against it.

Apparently the path of truth is somewhere in the middle. If it was totally obviously black or white there wouldn't be all these discussions. Everything will work for the foreseeable future no matter what you choose. Let everybody make their decision with the thousands of arguments at hand and let's move on to the next thing to tackle.

I think any problems arising from the outcome will teach people better than the endless drama and speculation of predicting the future, where people think their children will be disappointed that you could not convince people to switch to a different bitcoin node software.

Just spin up more nodes with your preferred software if you think it matters so much. It's not like there's a 1 node per person limit.

Drama is human nature. Human action determines outcomes. It’s not some mystical force that protects Bitcoin from failure.

If it doesn’t matter then why cause all this drama? Why not just keep it the way it is?

You know what you are doing. We see you.
