It’s useless code that doesn’t accomplish anything. It actually makes the software worse.
You can’t stop it. That’s the point. There’s quite literally an infinite number of ways to do it, and your filters aren’t even remotely effective. It’s useless code bloat that actually HARMS bitcoin.
Nobody knows who hacked him. Any sophisticated hacker could’ve potentially pulled it off. Regardless, his security practices was poor.
No, perhaps you have trouble reading or understanding anything beyond your narrow world view.
I think HODL can survive without the income he earns from zaps. 🤣
Have fun running Lukecoin.
Nope, you’re not “neutral”, just scroll up and look at your original post.
He’s an idiot, who cares?
And now you’re running a bitcoin node that he is the sole maintainer of.
Nah, you clearly have a side, you’re just too cowardly to openly defend it.
Luke got hacked cause he’s a dumbass who kept his private keys to an enormous stash sitting on a home server.
He has a long history of terrible judgement. Remember when he wanted to change Bitcoin’s POW algorithm from SHA-256?
Gimme a fuckin’ break. Luke is a moron that should’ve known not to keep the entirety of his wealth sitting in a hot wallet on his home server.
The fact that you are trusting bitcoin protocol development to someone with that little common sense is incredibly moronic.
Luke? He literally couldn’t even keep his own bitcoin safe from hackers! 🤣🤣🤣
Scared of a project that copies practically all its code from them? 🤣🤣
You really are the new bcashers.
If only you guys had the balls to actually block JPEGs and fork the blockchain, instead of just hiding behind your weak “filter the mempool” b.s.
Aka accomplishing nothing but virtue signaling.
You absolutely have a side, whether you want to admit it or not.
Condescending how? Did they produce dozens of videos calling Luke/Mechanic compromised or going rogue?
99.999% of the toxicity is coming from the Knots side. Anyone who is honest can see that.
That’s not the point. Conditions today are not necessarily how they will always be.
We’re not fully ignorant of it. It’s basically all game theory.
This is Mechanic and Matt Krater this week alone.
There’s no right way to approach something if plebs, no matter what, are going to act hysterical and claim Bitcoin Core is actively sabotaging bitcoin.
Censoring from the mempool, not blocks. Two totally different things, dumbass.
No, your logic is totally backwards.
If the mempool isn’t filtered, no one needs Libre Relay.
But if you’re artificially censoring valid transactions (aka Knots), THAT is what pushes people/miners to use Libre Relay.
Cause they forked. Not just signaled.
Yeah, blah blah but muh culture!!
No, it’s isn’t.
The 2017 blocksize war was resolved with a fork, not useless signaling.
That’s not a bad analogy.
The only difference I’d consider is that, even if you prefer to eat gluten-free, it’s better to know that you’re eating gluten, rather than live in ignorance.
You can’t stop it from getting into the blockchain. That’s the entire point. As much as you wanna virtue signal about it.
Knots nodes store all the exact same JPEGS.
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.
Core devs aren’t “facilitating 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 “pure” maxi.
But you’re wrong. Filters do nothing to stop “spam and crap.”
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’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.
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.
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.
