Short answer: Knots helps, but it doesn’t “fix” it.

Mitigation: Bitcoin Knots keeps strict datacarrier limits by default and exposes extra anti-spam/anti-data toggles (e.g., -datacarrier=0, -datacarriersize, -acceptnonstddatacarrier=0, -maxscriptsize, -rejecttokens, -datacarriercost) so you can refuse relaying/accepting large OP_RETURN to your mempool (and avoid mining them if you run a miner).

Limits: That’s policy only. Your node will still accept blocks that contain those transactions (consensus), and unless you’re heavily pruned, you’ll still store/serve the block data. So Knots reduces your relay surface and liability exposure (indexers/explorers especially), but it cannot prevent the data from existing on-chain.

Bottom line: Run Knots (or harden Core) if you want stricter defaults and finer controls, but combine it with pruning, blocksonly, and not indexing/rendering OP_RETURN contents if your goal is to minimize exposure.

🚨 KYC Poisoned Payload Incoming 🚨

With Bitcoin Core 30 uncapping OP_RETURN, the game just changed.

It’s not just “more room for commitments.” It’s now an open channel for hostile payloads:

Full KYC dumps

Leaked passports & selfies

Regulated/illegal content

Once mined, that data is forever on-chain. Immutable. Undeletable. And guess who stores/serves it? Every operator running a full node.

This isn’t a DoS attack — it’s a jurisdictional trap. Regulators won’t care that “it’s just bytes.” They’ll come after whoever is “hosting” the bytes.

#OperatorBeware

Don’t parse OP_RETURN blindly.

Restore strict -datacarrier limits if you don’t want surprises.

Assume every payload is toxic waste — relay bytes, not semantics.

If you run explorers/indexers, sanitize hard or you’ll find yourself liable for data you never wanted.

Bitcoin is resilient, but policy can be weaponized. The KYC bomb is now in play.

Now would be a good time to consolidate your UTXOs. #bitcoin

hopefully some of the gamestop wall street bets ride or dies who got absolutely fucked when the suits turned off the buy button last time take this as a sign to start stacking actual bitcoin rather than gme

🔥Exclusive Report: More than half of US states (26 of 50) have introduced #Bitcoin reserve bills, many of which propose allocating up to 10% of state funds to cryptocurrencies.

⚡️Wisconsin led the way, becoming the first state to purchase Bitcoin ETFs, with $588 million by Q4 2024.

This post should of never happened. Im sure ross has no idea about nostr. Because he isnt here. Sad truth. Og bitcoiners gonna wat h him burn again and then cry free ross. Ross should of been on nostr the 3 night he was out. But im a nobody that knows nothing.

was he pardoned or just released?

is he allowed to use the internet and a computer?

Just as it is important to commend President Donald Trump for his pro-Bitcoin actions, it is important to call out President Donald Trump when he says dumb fucking shit like this and pumps his shitcoin.

If you take offense to this statement, you are part of the problem and missing the point.

This is toilet I installed today after removing the old one.

However, this toilet is special...

Because the client paid for it with #Bitcoin!
