Thanks for the video @Matthew Kratter. I've been slowly educating one of cousins to Bitcoin as all this is unfolding. Your videos are the only thing that has made sense to him. I told him this is how this all has to playout. He's now running knots doing his part. Nobody wants to store this stuff on their computers if they don't have to. That is the only argument to make. My family relies on this shit too. View quoted note →

Running unpruned Knots on all nodes is the way. The spam filter debate always circles back to the same thing — define spam without creating a gatekeeper. At least with Knots you get to set your own policy.

The txs were always valid. V30 didn’t make them valid. Spam is subjective. If you are running knots you are pruning in a way.
That’s true. But the fact that a bug has existed for a long time and was rarely used doesn’t mean it should be ignored once it starts being used more frequently.
I appreciate your response. I am glad that you have taken the action to move your nodes to knots as it is the only way currently to continue using bitcoin while voicing your disagreement with cores actions. I don't want to have a debate on what is spam, I think the most beautiful thing I'd that consensus is all that matters and to have it with so many individual actors is all that matters. No need to attack people for previous positions.
