If they had 51% of the network, is censoring transactions the real risk? Isn’t the threat modifying transactions?
Ah I'm familiar with this project. Ok so as I understand it this goes through every single TX and looks for ASCII text. If you looks through many of the entries they are actually already indexed by Preturnio - in fact the vast majority so I'd dispute that it's 'a lot'. An initial scan looks like a bunch of transactions in the earlier days where stuff was hidden using a bunch of esoteric techniques but not a high number. I'll investigate this further and see if there's an easy way to categorize those and add them to the index. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment - can you share an example of a transaction that would likely contain human readable text in a transaction other than an OP_RETURN, coinbase or Inscription transaction?
Wow - thank you SO much ser. This is really appreciated and I'm extremely grateful. As stated all donations will go to hosting/infra costs and egress charges. This means a lot. Thank you again.
Ok this has been fixed.
Note: if you wanted to jump directly to a transaction (your transaction), you can just search for that TX ID and it will take you straight there:
Preturnio returns a result here because there is an OP_RETURN inside that transaction and Preturnio indexes all OP_RETURNs. As I mentioned below, the '/' delimiter wasn't part of the search index regex analyzer - so if you searched for 'substack' you'd see your OP_RETURN transactions - but 'darthcoin' wasn't registering as a match.
I've updated the search index regex and so now 'darthcoin' will return results because the analyzer will include specific words in between '/' and '.'
(Turns out that free form text indexes are tricky to configure :))
Thanks for pointing this out and giving me an opportunity to tweak the index.
