0 sats \ 14 replies \ @Scoresby OP 9 Oct \ parent \ on: Consensus rules are enough for Bitcoin to succeed or Bitcoin fails bitcoin
perhaps you should accept consensus then.
thank god: if you could, anyone who got a social movement going against transactions they don't like, would try to make them consensus invalid.
but they don't change consensus, so what's the point of updating them?
my goal is censorship resistant money. what is yours? telling people which valid transactions are good and which are bad?
We were telling people which transactions are good and which were bad (non-standard) since 2010 you fool
reply
Other than the current debate, is there another instance of a standardness rule for which there seemed to be sustained demand for transactions violating it?
reply
Have fun with your legal defense explaining why you were pushing CP to other nodes before confirmation.
reply
isn't this also true for ofac sanctioned transactions?
I want a reasonable answer how you propose to create a mechanism that works for CP but doesn't work for OFAC?.

I think you are conflating "people don't want to do a thing" with "people can't do a thing."
But more importantly: is legality really your chief complaint here?
You do realize that Bitcoin's chief (sole?)/value proposition is to preserve the ability of its users to break the law. That's all it does. If it can't do that, what's the point?
reply
The bitcoin software is not used for widespread criminal law (cp) breaking as a data storage service until this new proposal of unlimited data relay in Core c30.
Financial regulation violations (shielded by code=speech judgements) are a completely different animal and you know it.
Have fun at court
reply
I'm still asking whether you think illegality is actually an issue?
Do you believe that bitcoin works despite the state or that it requires the permission of the state to function?
have fun at court
It seems to me that you do find legality to e a chief concern, in which case I suggest that your temperament may be more suited to the use of dollars or perhaps euros than bitcoin.
