Hmm, but niftynei says that expanding OP_RETURN is all about protecting the ability of anyone to run a node: #1227437

So it appears that Szabo and nifteynei do not see eye to eye on this.

The temptation to appeal to authority is very strong.

And who is this retard? An ignorant who does not understand the technical concepts or a troll I guess. I am on the side of Core and I will execute the software trusting blindly in their decisions because they are the ones who know. Do not verify, trust.

With all due respect, he’s being retarded. It ignores the vulnerability has existed since OP_RETURN was created, that inscriptions made it worse, and there’s already illegal data on chain.

Amazing how many 'Libertarians' boldly championing 'free markets' cannot actually engage in the ultimate foundation of free markets, namely free speech and the contest of ideas, without descending to name calling, baseless assertions, blatant dishonesty and gross hypocrisy in their inability to engage in good faith and reason.

They demonstrate in this behaviour why free markets are so problematic, because human nature tends so often toward conspiring against honest trade and exchange in goods, services and ideas.

reply

No.

His statement acknowledges all of those things...and points out that increasing the allowance will only make the problem worse.

You are the retard for not seeing that.

reply

Its kinda surprising to me to hear all this concern about "illegal data" on chain now... nothing has prevented this up till now. Its a red herring thrown in to get more people on one side of this "debate".

reply
illegal data

oh, boy

reply

It's data that most bitcoiners find immoral and/or problematic. "Illegal" was just used because the filteroors and their secret authoritarian allies would like to neuter bitcoin in order to prevent more of it.

reply

Dude, why do you spread lies? When OP_RETURN was created by Satoshi it didn't return anything.

reply

That's irrelevant. The data was just being stuffed into much more harmful places before it was updated to return the data.

reply

Lies are irrelevant.... ooookay

If filtering by fees protects miners, filtering by fees protects nodes. The only difference is that miners are compensated for it.

reply

Full nodes are the underdogs, they do all this important work and don’t get a damn thing for it. philanthropic heroes!

reply

A full node is what makes the difference between your sats being fuck-you-money, or without it, like keeping your stack on FTX, SBF-has-fucked-with-your-money.

reply

Yeah, I feel that. It ain’t just about philanthropy, it’s about protecting ourselves too (self-custody). You could say we (full node runners) are kinda like blockchain vigilantes?

reply

It's defensive, yes, but vigilante would take it too far I think, because it's a common-sense hedge.

Not everyone needs fuck-you money all the time. For example, you could run an SPV wallet now and in the future, if there is a need, you could sync up a full node, serve your own blockfilters (the SPV kind not the perceived Knots kind.)

But that is assuming there is nothing crazy going on on the network, and it takes time to sync. So, it is a good precaution to continuously sync your node, at least have the blocks, have your utxos and if you can, sharing back would be a social thing to do.

reply

I knew I was going too far, lmao. Let's just keep it to the philanthropy! I like knowing I'm doing my part! Haha.
