If youโre not willing to fork the chain, nothing you do will work.
Actually, not even forking will work, because thereโs countless different ways to embed arbitrary data in a blockchain. Youโll never be able to stop all of them.
Itโs all meaningless maxi purity virtue signaling. Peak retarded behavior.
You seriously care more about whatโs in the mempool than whatโs in the actual blockchain?
Thatโs like caring more about whatโs on the menu than what food the waiter gives you.
Reduce influence how?
Youโre ALREADY accepting these transactions onto your node. Unless youโre willing to change consensus rules and fork off, running Knots or filtering the mempool accomplishes nothing whatsoever.
Itโs all virtue signaling for maxi purity.
Itโs not a consensus level change. Itโs literally a mempool policy change. The most minor of changes, and clearly for the better.
You wouldโve had no idea (no cared) if Luke/Mechanic werenโt major drama queens throwing a hissy fit.
Social pressure doesnโt work if youโre not in the same social circles.
Yeah, theyโre such cunts forโฆ.
**checks notes***
โฆwanting a mempool that accurately reflects blocks.
If you really wanna do something, reject those blocks.
Core, because filtering is useless virtue signaling when the JPEGS are still gonna be mined into blocks anyway.
You canโt filter JPEGs out of the blocks once itโs mined.
The โfilteringโ is all just virtue signaling.
Your Knots node stores those JPEGs too.
Long term, Core should focus on consensus only and leave policy changes like mempool policy to 3rd party clients.
Iโm #1 at complaining, and it ainโt no competition.
Heโs a scumbag, but heโs innocent of what they charged him for.
Itโs a banger for sure ๐ฅ
