No, scammers/spammers are attacking Bitcoin; they are NOT bitcoiners.
No, Core is not right about anything (in this regard).
No compromise with attacks, period.
Data already has a proper parking spot: BitTorrent.
But they don't use it, because their goal isn't to publish data, it's to harm Bitcoin.
Everyone trying to use Bitcoin pays more for spam.
More bandwidth, more CPU time, more storage, etc.
There were no pictures until 2025 October.
Core30 added pictures.
BIP110 rejects that and removes them again.
BIP110 is not a content filter.
Spam filters are not content filters.
Bitcoin is not a content distribution system AT ALL.
ZERO content allowed.
BIP110 does not freeze coins.
Nothing about it is forever.
It does not cause chain splits (only anti-BIP110 can).
It is not censorship.
Stop listening to bad actors lying to you.
Look I spoke about this on the podcast I did with @knutsvanholm . It is obvious to me BIP-110 is not a long term solution. BIP-110 gives us one yr to get it right.
The Solution of CORE to Op-Return puts a huge burden on the Node runners to delete the spam in ten minutes. and since it opens the bandwidth of Op-Return it means the Landauer problem GETS worse faster effectively ending Bitcoin as money.
That is the Fucking game plan for them.
Node runners or miners are not going to monitor their transactions to edit them to avoid the problem.
We need a coding solution FAST to stop this Rothschild attack. Instead of worrying about BIP-110 why do not you worry about the FUCKING attack of turing Bitcoin into gold only because that is the REAL GAME here.
I spent three and a half months investigating and writing the CAPTURE series. Three articles, hundreds of sources, a documented record of how informal power over Bitcoin Core was assembled, exercised, and defended.
That work is done. The articles are published at https://t.co/zk4Z2HrhA3. They will be there long after the current news cycle.
I did what I felt I had to do. What people do with the record now is up to them. I can put the work into the world. I can't make anyone read it.
I'm stepping back from social media for the summer, maybe longer. Quality time with my family is the only thing scarcer than bitcoin.
To everyone who read the articles carefully and engaged with the evidence: thank you.
I love Bitcoin and the freedom it promises. That's why I wrote these.
My BIP-110 node will keep running.
See you on the other side.
I’m not employed by anyone.
I have no sponsors.
I’m not invested in anything else than BTC.
I don’t give a fuck about being shunned by influencers and talking heads.
I just want Bitcoin to succeed in separating money and state.
That’s why I support BIP-110
@BitcoinNewsCom I'm not running malware on my node so it's BIP-110 or slavery for me. Taproot should have been fixed 3 years ago. OP_RETURN should have been changed to 83 bytes as part of consensus, not have the filter removed.
By repeatedly adjusting default mempool policy to match what miners will accept anyway (large OP_RETURN uncapped because “they’ll just mine it via bypasses like Libre Relay, or direct APIs”), we are implicitly conceding that miner greed + economic incentives are the ultimate rule-setter, not node-enforced principles.
Meaning a (cleverly hidden) capitulation of Bitcoin as a decentralized project.
You could say that the “CENSORSHIP!” argument from Core and their supporters on the concept of nodes filtering is a roundabout way of critizing decentralization itself.
Nodes were always supposed to be the sovereign check, they decide what they accapt and relay.
When we keep loosening policy to align with whatever is the current grift “use case”, and by extension what is short term profitable for miners, it trains the entire ecosystem to treat restrictive node behavior as pointless theater.
Over time this hollows out node sovereignty: running a full node becomes more about passively observing the chain that miners + L2s + data-spammers have already decided on, rather than actively enforcing a monetary-first standard.
As a cuck bonus it also leads to higher resource costs for every honest node (bandwidth, RAM, storage) à fewer independent verifiers in practice
Decentralization starts looking like a performance act. Miners produce the blocks, a handful of relays and L2 sequencers steer the flow, and nodes just… validate after the fact.
It’s not a hard-fork capitulation (consensus rules haven’t changed), but it is a cultural, philosophical and operational one. The most profound capitulation in practice.
The philosophy flips from “Bitcoin should resist non-monetary garbage even if it costs us some short-term fee revenue” to “whatever pays miners gets standardized because resistance is futile.”
Once you accept “miners will do it anyway” as the justification for policy, you’ve already handed the character of Bitcoin over to the highest bidder. Nodes stop being the immune system and start becoming just a polite audience.
The OP_RETURN uncap looks a lot like another quiet step toward a two-tier network (miners + insiders set the tone, everyone else just watches. Keep doing this and running a node risks becoming a branding exercise instead of the actual source and guarantee of Bitcoin’s decentralization.
Jeff saying what we all knew.
He travelled with Gloria in Africa, he spoke to her, she doesn't own bitcoin and obviously (else she'd own bitcoin) she doesn't understand bitcoin.
Permissionless blockspace is a scam. These people are exposing themselves. The promise of Bitcoin was never permissionless blockspace. They want free storage. Someone has to pay for that storage. No free lunch. No, the nodes don't want to store your crap. #BIP110Summer
@BitcoinIsaiah Even if you have the hard drive for storing all the jpegs and csam for 70 years, you still have to deal with the UTXO bloat, up to over 12GB+ right now. Andy Back says it should live in RAM ideally. Have you seen the prices of RAM?
“Build consensus first” is rich coming from the crowd that applauded as Core merged a 4:1 rejected PR, muted dissenters and unilaterally stripped spam protections that existed for a decade. 🤡
We’re no longer building consensus with bad actors. #BIP110
Bitcoin Core developers are about to merge a change that turns Bitcoin into a worthless altcoin, and no one seems to care to do anything about it.
I've voiced objections, lost sleep over this, and despite clear community rejection of the PR it's moving.

I respect the humility of course, but this exceeds that and becomes paralysis.
Bitcoin is not entirely static. Segwit and Taproot were enormous changes with some horrible consequences.
BIP110 is an extremely minor guardrail placed on the latter and it is easy to conclude both that it is necessary given the damage taproot did in practice whilst vanishingly unlikely to have further unforseen consequences itself.
