100 sats \ 8 replies \ @kruw 25 Sep \ parent \ on: Is it theocratic sex prohibition to be against sex with a 4 year old? Discuss... bitcoin
That's exactly what Bitcoin Purifier does: It financially penalizes any miner that creates a block containing spam by rejecting it.
So it's your MORAL RESPONSIBILITY to stop running Knots and start running Pure.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of this.
But this is at the relay level, not after validation. It can't reject valid blocks without forking bitcoin.
I don't think moral purity is a good reason to fork bitcoin right now, but I do think it's a good reason to try to influence what blocks make me longest chain in future.
I guess that bitcoin purifier is also theocratic authoritarianism though, so aside from helping me I don't know how it supports Greg's argument.

Without shooting my gun how can I influence your movement.
If enough people don't relay a transaction then the longest chain will not always by built on the most financially lucrative transactions, meaning fees for spam get pushed up the more moral nodes exist on the network.
Fees for spam are high today, with technical hurdles, which is why they go to other blockchains.

By increasing the risk (cost) of mining spam blocks.

My understanding is that you reject them from your memepool, meaning you slow down the propagation of that transaction, signalling to miners that this is spam (on the spectrum of CSAM to the inscription on the genesis block).
Question for you: if people want to pay a miner to validate a transaction with an OP_RETURN containing CSAM or jpegs of their family of 90kb today, how would they do it?
Would other miners reject that block?
If miners all adopt the default OP_RETURN limit today, why?
Wouldn't miners be influenced by market signals?

The way you pay miners a transaction fee is by having the value of outputs be lower than the value of the inputs you are spending.
Would other miners reject that block?
Unlikely, unless they mined a competing block at the exact same time.
If miners all adopt the default OP_RETURN limit today, why?
Miners adopted a higher OP_RETURN limit because they wanted to satisfy their paying customers.
Wouldn't miners be influenced by market signals?
Yes, the miners are highly influenced by their customers who are paying them to store their data on your Knots node.
