My node is my sovereign territory on the Bitcoin network. As is yours. I'll configure it how I want, and you should too. And if many of us want the same thing, our nodes combined become the most powerful force in Bitcoin.

Noderunning is an extension of freedom of speech and expression. Take control
Amen to that. I just installed knots and allow data carrier of 84 bytes, just to provide carrier diversity to the network. This is to test the null of the hypothesis that it’s somehow good if we all have exactly the same mempool.

Really like your team’s mission, and in particular @Matt Hill ‘s clarity and perspective on the filter issue as it compares to what happened with SMTP. However, what are you folks doing to address the fact that we already have effective node centralization because exchanges, wallet providers, etc broadcast the vast majority of transactions on behalf of ignorant users? Are you developing anything, or partnering with anyone, to tie independent nodes together with a transacting or wallet service to actually give them a meaningful voice on the network? Right now, people are misled to think that validator/solo nodes have more power than they actually do. The statement in your post does not help this problem. I know this is marketing- and you have every right to do it as a business- but this is misleading people about the real power dynamics in Bitcoin. Thank you.
Promise you won't be disappointed, but it's not ready....closer by the day though

Jumping on the current bandwagon that's passing only shows that you're an unserious business run by hotheads
