In foresight, it was inevitable.

OP_RETURN policy change has been merged because it was the best option among many unpalatable options.

Good!

It was inevitable, Im finally unfollowing Lopp

Same. A lot of true colors exposed these days.

And I already don't follow any of you

Weak.

This

Very disappointed. Dont cave to the spammer. Run Knots. Defund Core. Spammers go back to shitcoining.

Why disappointed? It was best option

Knots? You mean the GitHub repo that’s 99% forked from Core and run by a guy who couldn’t even keep his own bitcoin private keys safe?

Yep. Still better that a rotten core.

No, it’s actually worse, you’re just in denial.

Too bad. I run 4 distinct nodes. All knots, and switched from core way back before the spam war. That’s what’s so great about Bitcoin. You vote with your nose.

You’re literally just running Core with minor policy changes.

« L’enfer est dans les dĂ©tails »

Your Knots nodes still store all the exact same JPEGS as Core. It’s all useless virtue signaling.

The Core team has gone rogue. That’s it. One day maybe a even better bitcoin software will be available. Be thankful for the toxxi maxxi culture, for being able to call out attackers and bad actors. That’s what has kept the network strong. Maybe one day knots will be in that situation and we’ll run something else. Until then


Gone rogue how?

You’re just listening to a bunch of propagandists stirring up drama so they can act like they’re “saving bitcoin.”

You’re not actually accomplishing anything, you’re being a drama queen.

Talk about being a shill. Moving towards non monetary use for bitcoin is treason. Removing filters for spam, unlimited size for op_return is an attack against bitcoin. Bitcoin is money, trustless consensus based money. Not some kind of a public safe for expensive jpegs

Nobody is “moving towards” anything. Those JPEGS absent what you label “spam” are VALID transactions under bitcoin consensus rules. It’s that simple. Not even Bitcoin Knots can block their inclusion. Your filters accomplish nothing whatsoever. It’s all maxi purity virtue signaling.

Yes there is a clear will from the core dev to facilitate non monetary transactions. You’re drowning in denial. What you call maxi purity (thanks for the compliment btw) is just bitcoin’s healthy culture. We only get one chance, it’s too late now, we have bitcoin, it’s a treasure, our only hope. If there ever was a hill worth dying upon is this one. Bitcoin is money. Fight the spammers, run a strict node policy, home mine, earn/stack/spend stats as much as you can. But do not worry, they made a whole industry for people like you, it’s called crypto. You are not alone.

Like I already told you, Knots does nothing to prevent those JPEGS from being added to blocks. Your Knots nodes stores all the same “spam” s Core node does.

You’re just living in a delusion/

No need to repeat yourself. Understand that it’s also about calling out Core and stopping their monopoly. Knots is not the end. It’s a step in the right direction. Spam will always be an issue, and we have to counter it at every step. That’s it. Like miner centralization, we tackle it with ocean mining for instance. We don’t give up.

1. There’s no Core “monopoly.” People use it cause they trust it, not because they’re forced to. Knots is literally a fork of Core.

2. Filtering WORSENS mining centralization. You are causing the problem you claim to be solving, aka hypocrisy.

3. Knots is a step in the WRONG direction. Not just because filtering is stupid, but because it’s literally a dictatorship run by Luke, who has a long history of erratic behavior. Do you recall when he wanted to change Bitcoin’s POW algorithm from SHA-256? Remember when he couldn’t even keep his own private keys safe?

I Even spammed you a few sats

Understandable, if core could please do due diligence (along with the community members) to continue to specifically highlight privacy preserving configurable options for full node runners in jurisdictions where network activity is monitored

They dont care about you or your opinion, unfortunately

They certainly dont care about user configurable options

I think some people definitely care

Then they wouldnt do what they say they dont do and push highly contentious updates, while talking down to anybody that dissents and calling them propagandists for OCEAN lmao

And they wouldnt take your ability to decide the paramters of your own node

Fair, I think some care not all- life is rarely black and white. I don’t think the way OCEAN support has been treated has been fair

I started off sympathizing with the OP_RETURN arguments too! But their actions and the way they talk is just too much

Nice!

Describe in one sentence why was this merge inevitable? The best option why exactly?

Because shitcoiners pay them to ruin bitcoin

Because the market will route around the filters until Core is no longer relevant, if they didn’t remove it.

Option removed or just default changed?

Default changed and option deprecated but not removed yet.

How about just leave it alone
??

Right?

well, fuck off then ya fucking commie cunt!

nostr:note15h4l4ykmtw79m0zs48h9rldlew246rmgmq9z4aqw07lwsvfrwhus63zdyt

This was all a big unconsequential distraction.

Whats your conspiracy theory exactly?

None. This just doesn't matter as much as a small vocal group of people thinks.

Sounds like you just dont understand it lol

Even Peter Todd cant defend the actual propaganda. Extra funny that Lopp liked your comments 😂😂

https://x.com/ChiHodl/status/1932129226200674338?t=Sa8sUQgQQjCvxuKUbXOppQ&s=19

So if prominent core developers need to lie and yell dumb shit like "sybil attack" and "meritocracy" (lopp), then how are you able to delude yourself into thinking this isnt consequential?

I don't care and you are obnoxious.

At least you embrace being a clown

A small step for Core developers, a giant leap for ossification.

You're on the wrong side of history Lopp. Hope it benefits your individual situation handsomely..

Shame on core devs shame on Lopp
