OPreturn is configurable in Core. What do you believe isnt configurable?
Bitcoin can be criminalized for dozens of reasons beyond CSAM. Assuming that Bitcoin inherits its security by being compliant with legal behavior is a gross ignorance of how the network is designed and how the security model functions. Your arguments are rooted in appealing to peoples reactionary emotions rather than reasoned thinking.
No you don't, consensus dictates what the network is capable of. If you want to change consensus feel free to create a fork and see if the market adopts it.
Still spreading economically illiterate nonsense I see. Maybe you'll understand basic free market dynamics one day.
Nothing is changing other than policy defaults, which are meaningless anyway if you look at sub sat feerates. Your comment is vile, to insinuate violence against devs because you do not understand how Bitcoin works and have been emotionally riled up by Bitcoin personalities is deplorable. Take time to reflect on your hatred.
Who allowed all the sub sat feerate txs to go through? Core changed nothing and 99% of the network was filtering it. Perhaps Core is not malicious and enabling spam, perhaps they understand that economic incentives ultimately influence blockspace market activity and they are moving to mitigate second order effects of this reality.
Problem is that it doesnt matter what you believe, what matters is what the network is capable of and what people bidding on blockspace value.
Perhaps you are misinformed but there are no mempool config options that are being removed from Core.
You have to understand that the filter people have abandoned all reasoning and are deeply rooted in emotional narratives. This all originated from people like Luke and Mechanic who for the past 6 months have been pushing hyperbolic hysterical rhetoric that has even lead to Core devs receiving death threats.
Ocean devs continue to mislead people and then disappear when confronted with evidence.
Crickets again from the dishonest Ocean devs, imagine my surprise.
You cant, this statement is oxymoronic. You are mining on a centralized pool with ocean.
You are misleading again, miners on Ocean arent building the entire template. Miners connected to Ocean are being being told what coinbase tx to use in their templates. If they choose not to use the one Ocean provides, they are switched to solo mining, which removes all variance reduction benefits, which is the entire purpose of pool mining. Ultimately no tangible decentralization is achieved because Ocean (being a centralized trusted third party) can be pressured by regulators to censor, just like any other centralized pool can.
A centralized pool like Ocean unilaterally coordinating the coinbase for the entire pool is quite relevant to decentralization.
A solo miner doesn't require a pool server construct the coinbase tx for them to include it in their template. Which is exactly what ocean and Sv2 pool do. A solo miner also isnt required to connect to a pool server, like Ocean. Its a centralized client/sever relationship and all the same risks apply.
Its crazy that you two still keep up this charade.
If you don't self custody you can't bid on blockspace.
Not really, all they do is force the regulated miners to use a government sanctioned mining pool, and the government pool builds the blocks. They will be forced to comply or be shutdown and have their equipment seized for money laundering and terrorist financing.
White market mining is a security risk, always has been and always will be.
Black market mining is the real security model.
Unknown hash is the only secure hash.
Would anyone be willing to zap me some sats to test if my LN address is working?
