The point is to stop people from forcing all bitcoiners to distribute CSAM.
That's existential because Bitcoin relies on a supermajority of its economy using their own node, and nobody is going to do that if it requires personally distributing CSAM.
Spammers' fees do not strengthen Bitcoin's security at all.
Spam has always been possible, but we've been fighting it for 16 years - THAT is how Bitcoin WAS working fine; it has NOT been working fine since Core30 changed it last October.
@dotkrueger NO, the goal is by NO MEANS A PROCESS in which every entity has somehow to be involved;
Rather, it is about the networking of the node operators—social and via Bitcoin—who SAFEGUARD THE BITCOIN RULES and guidelines. The rest of this network naturally emerges from the open market
Former UK PM Lizz Truss warns that Western nations are in the midst of a communist takeover seeking to replace core Western values—including individual liberty, national sovereignty and free speech—with complete state control over every aspect of life.
"Look what's happening in Britain. People are being arrested and jailed for things that they say on X."
"We've moved from being a free society—with a free economy and people able to speak freely—to a managed society, that is essentially managed by... expert technocrats."
Muslims are brazenly ripping down American flags across New York City.
This is the reality behind the election of radicals like Zohran Mamdani.
Islam is not here to integrate or live in peace. It is here to conquer and turn America into an Islamic state ruled by Sharia law.
I mean this is just a lie. It specifically closes opreturns over 83 bytes. That alone shuts down a potential attack vector against bitcoin.
It also pushes ordinals to a new script path, increasing complexity and fees, essentially giving monetary transactions and advantage for blockspace.
🇸🇻 Nayib Bukele expose clairement le mécanisme : George Soros n’a jamais été élu, pourtant il finance des ONG, des procureurs et des législations dans des pays souverains. Au Salvador, cette influence a été stoppée net. La population a rejeté l’agenda importé.
Résultat concret : un pays qui reprend le contrôle de son destin.
As you can see in this video, @sazmining was running older version of core before but they must have been woken up to the shitcoin core fuckery and they just switched to BIP110+knots.
These are the people monetary maxi plebs should be engaging with (in a good faith). Coretards and midwits only deserve to meme the shit out of them.
@khalliburton : - Hats off to you for showing the courage to protect the monetary property of the bitcoin.
@GhostofMapl@dathon_ohm@cguida6 For anyone needing context, this is a list of protocols that will be paying a fee premium for putting data on Bitcoin.
This premium is not assessed for monetary transactions which gives monetary use for Bitcoin an advantage for blockspace.
@SteveSimple Some gullible individuals might wonder why this would happen.
They should consider whether there are forces that wish to detroy Bitcoin.
BIP110 is a wake-up call and an important step in the fight against those forces working to centralize and control the Bitcoin network.
@LukeMikic21 Bitcoin Core developers blew open OP_RETURN so that Citrea could shitcoin on Bitcoin easier in the name of “harm reduction” (a code word commonly used by progressive liberals to let criminals commit crimes unimpeded) https://t.co/gWsj3sdlf3
To steelman them, their position is that consensus makes it possible to route around policy. Policy was that opreturn was limited to ~80 bytes but consensus limits it to 100,000 bytes. Because of this some bitcoiners were finding ways to get around policy and go directly to miners to include larger opreturns. Doing so made fee estimation more difficult because the rest of the mempools were not seeing this out-of-band transaction and could result in miner centralization if more bitcoiners started going directly to large miners to have these types of transactions mined.
Now time for a big ol' BUT
What Core failed to account for was what this change broadcasts to the world. It is the reference implementation unambiguously stating that Bitcoin is open for arb data. You want your data stored on as many decentralized and independently running servers as possible? Come on over to Bitcoin. The problem is that the real cost of an increase in arb data on the chain is born by the node runners.
Non-monetary data bloat makes IBD more difficult, increases the cost of hardware needed to run a node, and potentially places a social stigma on node operation depending on the contents of that data.
This directly impacts a major component of Bitcoin's value proposition: full node decentralization. All of this will, over time, contribute to archival full node centralization.
We have already seen some node runners opt out due to the increased risks posed by turning Bitcoin into a permissionless file storage system. See quoted post.
Core took a problem that needed both engineering and human consideration and only gave it the engineering solution. BIP110 reins that back in and caps opretun to 83 bytes at consensus among other changes to increase friction for spammers.
Run BIP110, keep Bitcoin as money.
