In fact there was a video recently where someone said “we should do a stock split” and I kinda laughed because my first thought was “so you think you can explain a stock split to normies?” 😂

changing the names doesn't change the facts

it just makes it harder to talk about them

I tend to agree with you. And yeah that's rather not what I'm doing. I am regurgitating true talking points that are relevant and important after my own assessment lol! It would appear you are too, though you seemed unwilling to discuss things in a productive manner to me.

Just so you know, I am in favor of, foremost, property rights (people can and ought to be in control of their mempools and everything else about their node, which they are, even if they run Core or Libre, so long as they are not seriously misled), then, what I would like to see happen and what I personally do with my node, is a lot of filtering of spam but with more forgiving settings on OP_RETURN, around 160 bytes or less, with a penalty that kicks in when the mempool is full that requires them to pay a lot more per byte at that time (my setting is at like 4 weight units per byte). I want spam that is most harmful to be disincentivized the most, and spam that is less harmful to be disincentivized substantially, but reliably less than the most harmful crap, especially as there may indeed be legitimate transactions with arbitrary data, but at a cost to users. This paradigm being adopted by a significant number of nodes would make the path of least resistance for arbitrary data go somewhere least harmful, and yet still decrease spam, in an environment wherein miners have to take on additional risk to circumvent the spam filters.

The nodes are in control. I want to educate them further. If only I do this, it doesn't hurt me: my cache will fill in the blocks. If I and like 5% of other noderumners do this, we will have a noticeable, though slight, impact on the network. What's great about Bitcoin is that we don't all have to be right. That's something even Mechanic doesn't seem to get. I want real discussion though, we can't get to these solutions unless we engage that way.

bits is a psyop to get everyone to stfu about filters

its working because you are all lemmings 🤣

What a strange little mind you have.

I didn't say it has no affect whatsoever, dumbass.

You're just as myopic as him about this issue. Stop listening to the political takes and learn the nuance.

😂 don't you know better?

Tariffs solve spam? Another false argument, shitcoiners have even paid more than 500s/b for spam…

This is easy, you use whatever you want and I'll use software with filters 🤷‍♂️

I repeat, your argumentation is a surrender, you just repeat what your favorite influencers say, the more people use software with filters the more it slows down the spread of spam, the last solution will be to send spam directly to the miners, that creates other problems? Yes, but you have to fight it, don't you?

Your argumentation is a surrender

My principles are above fee estimation, it's a cheap excuse by shitcoiners.

We could survive just fine with inaccurate rate estimates, we always have.

Not quite that simple, of course.

As theyre valid transactions (I know, I know), it would incentivize sending them out of band which completely messes up fee estimation

I think the only real solution is greater adoption of bitcoin, and to price out the spam

I am also concerned about the obvious manipulation of arguments of supposed bitcoiners that shows that they are committed and in favor of the enemy.

Let's see, I am an agorist (anarcho-capitalist) and I am against the state, but as we are a minority and I know or I have the certainty that I will continue living in a statist system, so I will vote and legitimize the system, ergo I am no longer agorist or anarcho-capitalist.

I am against spam, if we all used software with filters like knots we would avoid spam but since I know we are not all going to run knots then I use Bitcoin core and allow spam 🤷‍♂️.

This is called being a man of few principles and zero conviction.
