100 sats \ 18 replies \ @Scoresby 4h \ parent \ on: Peter Wuille post about dropping OP_RETURN limit bitcoin
policy is poorly compared to legality. If you want to make "the trade" illegal, you need to make such transactions invalid. Changing policy is akin to saying "we don't want people to do this, but we will still accept it when it's in a block"
This is what I don't get about what I believe is your argument: Bitcoin is a permissionless network. Run any code you like. Why do you care so much what Core changes when it comes to policy? Just run Knots. Problem solved as far as you are concerned.
this debate reminds me of those stupid times from plandemic, so a better way to explain is with a meme 😂😂😂
Just run Knots. Problem solved as far as you are concerned.
just wear your mask, what's your problem if I do not wear it?

Indeed, lots of stupidity, like the idiots who pretend that anybody says that filters solve all problems.

I'm not surprised you don't understand the problem, after all you're a long time bitcoiner and can maintain as many nodes as you like, and spend an unlimited amount of sats for hardware upgrades, and you can't related to people in emerging markets who dream of running a node one day.

so my meme is true: if I do not run Knots I am killing people in "emergent markets" now LOL

Wow, how things never change. Knots drama is Bcash all over again.

Cute, so you pretend I said something I didn't say to make a point, maybe because you have no point LOL

I'm impressed, you can use MS paint, that's adorable. You must be a knots user impersonating a coretard who can't make a coherent argument to make them look bad LOL

To be clear, Bitcoin Core v30 lets node runners configure the OP_RETURN size limit (the -datacarriersize config option). The only change is that its default value is increased (to effectively unlimited). It is marked deprecated, which means the option is expected to be removed in a future version, but given the current political dispute around it, I do not expect that will happen any time soon.

In law there is a concept of malum in se, and malum prohibitum. Malum prohibitum is the policy layer, where nodes regulate the network, malum in se (bad in itself) is the layer of strict validity.
Because of the basics facts about information theory it's impossible to deterministically ban spam at the validity layer, you have to do it based upon rough consensus at the policy layer, which is how it's been since Satoshi.
Its just an engineers autism that leads people to believe that if things are not deterministic then they are not valid. Perfect is the enemy of good enough.
