You just admitted some lawyers believe it increases legal risks. https://image.nostr.build/c2b158f882599ac14e3748efe4b276af3123bd6fcd8cbc15dbf0aec255504523.jpg

Practical threat, but a threat none the less

The CSAM argument is pure slippery slope.

Thank you thank you for this thoughtful analysis. The issue of CSAM on the Bitcoin blockchain is nothing new. I like what coin center had to say about it way back in 2018. https://www.coincenter.org/addressing-concerns-of-illicit-images-on-public-blockchains/

Why are we messing with a protocol storing 2 trillion in value with a change that 14% of lawyers say increase legal issues?

How many of those 6 were joos?

Cool post…irrelevant. Knots means Bitcoin is money…core30 means bitcoin is a storage container for pictures of your dead dog. If it’s such a harmless change and there is no meaning behind it then it’s not needed. I don’t understand why it is so hard to grasp. Fix the money right? Why turn...

So, 1 out of 7 node operators will be seen as a potential legal issue by the DA in their jurisdiction.... that's not particularly comforting. Regardless, we all ought to be preparing for the day when Bitcoin itself will be seen as potential legal issue - for no particular reason at all - in the eye...

Similar to asking 6 out of 7 doctors if you should have gotten the Covid shot? Trust the paper plumbers.

"It only makes an existing problem a little bit worse" is not exactly comforting.

Well, if the lawyers say so, then.....

What about the financial threat?
