1105 sats \ 2 replies \ @Scoresby OP 11h \ parent \ on: Gmax's theocratic populist sex prohibition analogy for filters bitcoin
However, I am persuaded by approaches like this from earlier today:
And also by @schmidty's PR to undeprecate OP_RETURN.
I personally don't think filters are at all effective, so if people want them, I can be convinced that we should just leave them in and move on.
(I think the only reason I've come back to this debate, after avoiding it for two years, is that I really strongly react to the idea that consensus valid transactions somehow shouldn't be allowed. We all agreed to certain rules when we accepted bitcoin in trade. if people don't like those rules, they should be straightforward and argue to change them. But nobody is talking about changing consensus rules and so all this feels fake to me, and it irritates me.)
People should run whatever software they would like to run
Agreed.
Knots exists and if there is enough community support, people will maintain that project in the way they like. This seems like a fine solution
agreed

agreed
it is not your right to tell someone else to make the tool available to you and maintain it for you
Also agreed.
I'm largely on Core's side in this debate. I think they can deprecate
datacarriersize if they want to!I am only reacting to Greg's arguments, which I think are weak and probably even counterproductive for his cause.
Sometimes it's better to say, "Sorry I can't convince you, but we're doing it this way", rather than try too hard to make an unconvincing argument. Remember Satoshi's words, "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."

Fair enough. You have some wisdom there (even if I disagree with you about the weakness of the theocratic populist sex prohibition argument).
