It's actually worse, but the good news is that the truth tends to come out, and the number of Knots nodes reflects that beautifully.

Yes otherwise I'd let this nonsense go unchallenged

Lol.

PoW exists to make it hard to rewrite history, not to prevent spam.

This is obviously just more dishonesty masquerading as "bridge building" after a week of non-stop character assassination after many months of bad faith interaction.

Citing your credentials "I have worked on anonymous systems for over a decade. I have read tons of research on spam detection, rate-limiting, and I've implemented spam prevention techniques in the real world."

...is not enough to make people pretend you're arguing in good faith here which you obviously aren't having opened with rewriting the entire function of what PoW does and how Satoshi used it. We know specifically what Satoshi did about spam and you're ignoring it because that would contradict your premise.

(Further - spam filtration does not imply centralization. The opposite is the case. No one is going to run nodes if they do not posses the tools to prevent their mempools filling up with porn/malware and anything else that can leverage the idiocy of Bitcoin's developers.)

TikTok today.

Hahahaha they just will NOT allow any NOTICING… buckle up yall. This is the canary in the coal mine. Mark my words.

Or a yacht 11 miles past the continental shelf… international waters.

But I think the boat is subject to the jurisdiction of the flag it flies.

Portugal is a subject of the eu and can’t violate the laws.

Try this:

Live on a boat docked in Miami with a cayman island flag. Not sure what cayman citizenship costs….

But unless you relinquish US citizenship you are still subject to us code.

There may be better places to doc your cayman boat like the Bahamas, Isle of Man, or Guernsey

Epstein island

Ouch….

I hope Texas secedes from the union

No where to go…

FinCen and the Treasury are expanding the Patriot Act to attack bitcoin self-custody and privacy.

We shouldn't live in a world where standards cater to the lowest common denominator and make things worse for the overwhelming majority of the population.

So who can ELI5 this NPM attack on wallets?

I have been waiting for years for a Nostr dev to message me about writing a Nostr book for O'Reilly.

Please, someone ask for an intro! The animal on the cover would be obvious and everything.
