my understanding is that the problem with JPEGs on chain is the challenge of performing IBD & validation on lower quality hardware.
if I need to get a transaction to the mempool, how do I get it to the network if I can't IBD? only through some third party.
IBD on low-quality hardware should be prioritized for this reason. It's my understanding (please help to correct my failings as you see fit) that this is the reason the Knots crowd seeks to prevent a chain filled with spam.

totally fair.
it's been a mixed day... have been reintegrating to the default world after spending several weeks off-grid and deeply integrated to the immediate, present-moment reality that I was a part of building. it's usually a bit of a challenging transition, but this year has been more challenging than others... interpersonally, as well as individually.
while I was out there, I got quite a bit more fit & it feels good to be walking around in this state, feeling more healthy and invigorated. part of the challenge of reintroduction to this regular space is that it's tough to maintain the level of activity here that is totally normal and easy there... I guess I could be walking around the neighborhood instead of sharing my thoughts on the Internet... but here we are ;)
hope your day's going swimmingly.

With off-grid, do you also mean no—checks profile history—mhh yes, looks like also no internet
What you said reminded me of the time I lost my phone and I didn't buy another one for weeks and I had a great time. I should lose my phone again.
hope your day's going swimmingly.
I successfully avoided preparing my presentation for lightning++ by looking into Spark instead today
btw, it's really cool to know that I have met you irl, like you're a real person haha

ha.. the ol' footprint analysis trick!
the truth of the matter is: we had lots of internet. My whole purpose for being there was to bring internet to that location and then later to pack it back up into its respective containers and go away with it. i just wasn't using much of it out there, because I was so thoroughly occupied in physical reality.
in any case, i agree it's nice to have a human to associate with the nym. the world might do well to promote that sort of scenario (this is not an argument for top-down real human identification schemes.. haha)

So if I'm understanding things, folks in favor of removing OP_RETURN are worried about mining centralization because sneaky transactions are already happening and this will cause mining centralization. On the other side, folks in favor of keeping OP_RETURN are worried about storage of child porn and non-financial data. Do I have that right?
In the link you posted, the author stats that non-financial data will eventually get priced out of being on bitcoin. If that's true, then isn't the centralization of miners a temporary issue, as well?
Let's say that miners become centralized for a period of time. But then eventually bitcoin mining fees rip and non-financial data becomes untenable. At that point wouldn't miners start to decentralize? Or is the thought that once miners centralize it's the point of no return and/or that bitcoin fails?
