Buddy, I’ve already listens to Mechanic, Luke, Guy Swann, Chris Guida, and others. Pro-filter Bitcoiners simply have bad arguments. It fundamentally comes down to maxi virtue signaling: a constant ...

And what reason is that pray tell?

“mempool consistency” ? Not going to happen even with loosened rules

Mining centralization? Not going to be improved.

?

You say there is no good reason to keep things as-is. The burden of proof is on you to show why the change is necessary, and you have to prove it to users- not devs.

If you guys are going to Knots… no, Core users don’t need to justify anything to you. You guys are (ironically) spamming the Bitcoin Core GitHub with activism and ad hominems.

At the peak of the ordinals spikes I ran several feerate comparisons on filtered and unfiltered. I detected no statistically significant variation in feerates. All of them either were sufficient to g...

Also fee estimation is always an *estimate* ?!

I mean, there is no absolute prediction possible.

Anyone can always start submitting mass transactions with high fees right away after you publish something.

Seems such a collectivist idea, mempool predictions should be perfect. Like WTF even is that vibe man

Now they have the attention of all nodes owners, so they will have to be careful or they could take a wall. And i am sure they know that. Future will said if they are still blind or not.

It is true actions speak louder. That's why core action "PR merge" will soon be watch by everyone.

Then this have to be done. Even if you need trustable devs to do it the good way to make it happen ? How can you trust any devs for that ? How can you said an "new" dev is not here to do a fork or ...

The solution is making the hashers real miners again.

Help big hashers run their own node with DATUM so they can actually help keep Bitcoin secure, and they will benefit from higher profits as well.

All they need to do is run a start9 node with datum set up, and they can solo mine or connect to ocean.

Big pools should encourage their hashers to implement this as well, but the pool operator has no incentive other than the long term health of Bitcoin

"long term health of Bitcoin" is what every one want, except the fiat system and peoples that have too much interest in it.

sometimes you don't have choice if you want a solution. here the solution can't be a war or a chain explosion because some are for and some are against, even in the node owners. but everyone want the bitcoin blockchain to survive...

It’s core’s fault since they are the ones refusing to fix the real problem and instead potentially make it worse.

Why weren’t they concerned about “utxo bloat” for the last two years?

So far I am not at all reassured that they do not have other motives

You are true, because they have found this feature useful, to extend usage of this blockchain. Now it is more clear for them that a lot of people don't want shit on the blockchain. So it is a more sane situation. If now that things are clearer they go throw, they know they will lost a lot of node...

Filtering doesn’t do anything, whatsoever. Those transactions still are mined into the blockchain.
