This is the problem. Retard savant Luke has sold a bunch of well meaning and passionate people on the idea that spam can be prevented in #Bitcoin, and now plebs are "voting with their feelings" by running Knots. It's anti-reality activism. There are dozens and dozens of ways to pack arbitrary bytes into blocks, and the only way to police that would be to undermine Bitcoin's value proposition, centralizing so forcefully that a single authority chose what is valid. If it can't run Samourai, it's cucked. View quoted note →

Lol, Samourai, the guys who just gave the government all user Xpubs to unravel every coinjoin on their platform? Who's the cucked ones there? Also, policy filtering is the only way to not fork the system which was roundly mocked by people like yourself. Now, you have swallowed the same line. "I can't stop it, why do anything?" Because genius, then people push dangerous contentious forks that actually destroy your freedom coin.

My favorite Whirlpool discount code was #FILTERTHIS Filter = Censor What will it take to remind node runners of the importance of censorship resistance. We must transact freely.

No one is arguing that *all* arbitrary data can be or should be prevented (that I have personally heard). Some are arguing that we can prevent some ways of storing large amounts of arbitrary data.

And the reason we "had to" rip open arbitrary contiguous data storage by 1200x after everything running fine for many years without it was what, exactly?

I hate that it has become a false dichotomy. One can believe simultaneously believe that increasing a limit arbitrarily by 1200x is a risk prone idea for a mature asset/protocol but also that we should not endanger censorship resistance. Imo the real villains here are the hubristic core devs that decided to open it that wide to prove a point. Modest 2x or 4x would’ve left everyone happy but they had to stick it to Luke and show everyone how smart they are.
