I’ve had a couple of days to collect my thoughts on the whole Bitcoin Core fiasco. I’ve heard a lot of different perspectives from a lot of respectable bitcoiners, and I’ve learned a lot about Bitcoin in the process.
1) there is obviously demand to put non-monetary data on the Bitcoin blockchain. I think this is generally a waste of block space and provides no benefit to the ecosystem because Bitcoin is a monetary network, not a database.
2) Core’s attempt to push an update that removes a node’s ability to control the transactions that get relayed from their mempool is an overstep of power. It highlights the need for a more decentralized developer community. Nodes should be able to configure their settings however they see fit. Optionality is key. However, nodes already have the option to run any version of Bitcoin Core.
3) if people continue to demand block space for non-monetary data into blocks, we will see more services like Marathon’s Slipstream that allow people to circumvent the filters that people have on their mempools. If these people are willing to pay a higher fee rate than the rest of the network, their data will make it into the blocks regardless of the filters - unless bitcoiners are willing to make a fork that rejects blocks that have arbitrary data in them. I’ve heard that this would be nearly impossible to implement as there would be disagreements about what counts as arbitrary.
4) if this arbitrary data is truly worthless, funding for it will eventually stop, and Bitcoin will return to being used for purely monetary purposes. In the short term, it could be annoying to compete with scammers for block space, but the fees will drop when they run out of money. Trust the incentives.
Overall, putting non-monetary data on Bitcoin’s blockchain is a joke. Core should give nodes as much optionality as possible. Inscription scammers are hard to stop, but they will price themselves out of the fee market as people realize that their arbitrary data is worthless. We should do everything we can to remain in consensus because the Bitcoin community is what makes this whole thing worth talking about in the first place.

Mostly agree with you.
For me the best approach for defense is both limiting space for spam + spam filters together with the financial incentives. As you say Bitcoin is Monetary network, not a multiple purpose decentralized database / shitcoin.
The more friction for spammers, the better.
And I would like to point to the fact that all shitcoins are worthless centralized grabage scam created out of thin air but due the strong propaganda ordinary people are getting brainwashed and are throwing their money into the casino shitcons. So we can not fully rely on incentives.

That is actually no joke, because "GitHub, Inc. has been a subsidiary of Microsoft since 2018."
#Bitcoin being censorship resistant monetary network means:
1. Bitcoin never refuses account to anyone
2. Bitcoin never refuses financial transaction
3. No one can confiscate other people's Bitcoin
4. Bitcoin having certain degree of privacy
5. THE Global Most Secure Decentralized Unconfiscatable Peer-to-Peer Scarce Hard Sovereign Freedom Money and Greatest Store of Value 🧡⚡️🫒
#Bitcoin being censorship resistant monetary network DOES NOT mean:
1. Adding spam to the Bitcoin blockchain - jpegs, audio, video etc.
2. Addition too much bload non-monetary data (~80 Bytes worked fine for long time)
3. Converting Bitcoin into a meme/NFT shitcoin
Long Live #Bitcoin and run you Bitcoin Knots full node.
#Bitcoin is Hope for Humanity 🧡

Bitcoin full nodes like Bitcoin Knots are securing the Bitcoin network and miners must comply with the Nodes and provide consensus-compatible blocks. So if majority of Nodes filter out spam, it will be very hard for spammers to turn Bitcoin decentralized freedom Monetary network into a meme shitcoin. "Nodes define what "miner" is." This is explain here:

A balanced explanation about OP_RETURN is here:
And some of the risk of leaving spam unfiltered and unlimited are in the following screenshot:
I hope that would be helpful.
I agree that we should do something about this spam. I will filter out these transactions and I hope the rest of the network does too. Even if everyone filters spam, there are still ways for spammers to get into blocks. They can send their transactions directly to miners. Granted, this is another layer of friction, but it’s not much. Spammers will likely send their transaction to the larger pools for faster confirmation. This hurts small miners as they wouldn’t get the transaction fee and it increases mining centralization.
I’m all for strongly standing up for the original intent of Bitcoin, but this is a permissionless network. I think we will eventually have to rely on the incentives of the fee market to fix this issue.

Running Bitcoin Knots 🤙
I think its a matter of organizing the data streams.
I use Gossip desktop app for security and responsiveness (private key stays on local machine).
It allows me to put different people in different groups and groups can show all comments / replies of individuals or just main posts / notes.
This reduces noise dramatically. Focus is on what matters.
Cheers bro and thank you for what you do for Bitcoin.
Nostr has no 2nd best.
open discussion and method of consensus is a key đź‘Ť
Nice to hear then that you think jpegs, audio, video and other non monetary data is spam in the Bitcoin monetary network.
I know you want to make Bitcoin audio / video straming service but this is not what Bitcoin is for.

And should remain being that.
I told you to read this but it seems you didn't do it.

"What about Miners?
Miners are suppliers of blocks, nothing more. Nodes demand consensus-compatible blocks as a vessel for key reassignment. Miners’ ability to influence the protocol is limited to the wiggle room within the protocol’s magic numbers.
For example, they can limit blocksize if they can cooperate and coordinate over shared incentives, and they can exclude transactions in the same way. But when a miner exercises any power that is detrimental to consensus they approach high risks at a quick pace.
This same dynamic applies to re-orgs, 51% attacks, etc. These attacks are not only risks to miners in that there is a cost in sacrificing blocks or failing probabilities, they run the higher-level risk of being entirely ignored and excluded from extra-protocol consensus, the market itself.
Nodes actually define what a “miner” is."
There are meme shitcoins and NFT shitcoins for jpegs.
Wrong. I do decide with my Knots node. I can set the filters however the fuck I want.
See, this is now spam. Lets stop it.
I welcome all adequate filters and limits that remove spam as much as possible for Bitcoin to continue be robust MONETARY network.
rounding error ... no one cares about rounding error
We speak about the following scenario.
So for you JPEGs (of butts and dicks) on the Bitcoin MONETARY network are not spam. You would allow, like any shitoiner, even audio, video and whatever people want. Maybe make the blocks bigger to put MP3s. Its the people data which is not spam for you.
For me and my Knots node, this is spam.
Spam is not concensous.
Spam is not going to be confirmed. It will be filtered out.
Sorry, I decide on my Bitcoin Knots full node what is spam. And Bitcoin Knots filters it for me.
You fail to understand what is spam.
spam is valuable only for spammers
Bitcoin is monetary network for monetary transactions. There are meme and NFT shitcoins for spam.
When majority of nodes limit and filter spam, spam will be limited and filtered.
And nodes create the network and enforce the rules.
"So, who secures Bitcoin?!
If securing Bitcoin requires consensus on what Bitcoin is, and Bitcoin is a database of values assigned to keys, and Bitcoin has a protocol for reassignment of keys, then securing Bitcoin can only be done by … your node!
Nodes! Nodes! Nodes!
In the end, YOU secure Bitcoin, but the only time that matters is when you agree with someone else on what Bitcoin is, and the only way that you can express yourself to others is via your node.
You can try to abstract this and say that hodlers of last resort secure it, or that you can express yourself by buying or selling, but the only way you can actually communicate yourself is via enforcement of the protocol.
What about Miners?
Miners are suppliers of blocks, nothing more. Nodes demand consensus-compatible blocks as a vessel for key reassignment. Miners’ ability to influence the protocol is limited to the wiggle room within the protocol’s magic numbers.
For example, they can limit blocksize if they can cooperate and coordinate over shared incentives, and they can exclude transactions in the same way. But when a miner exercises any power that is detrimental to consensus they approach high risks at a quick pace.

All good, and yes I agree with you.
We, the people with different opinion are the cult, the trolls, the aggressive ones, the oppressors ... I am sure I have noticed even more "definitions"
I say we simply cherish freedom, peace, sovereignty, property and love and we want Bitcoin to continue be freedom sovereign money it is now.
The globalists corrupted legacy media / propaganda is not hated enough. When will be dealt with Soros?
