@adam3us Unfortunately this is seeming like an intractable achilles heal of a public p2p time chain that allows arbitrary data. My gut reaction is to not only limit the op_return size in the mempool but ALSO to require it small for consensus. Why is this a bad idea?
@Todd_MMiller@adam3us Also the ability to filter spam is not as simple as you imply, such that it becomes a centralized system controlled by a committee or coercive entity.
@Todd_MMiller@adam3us My understanding of the main argument against filtering in general is the more you do of it, then a slippery slope forms of expectations to do more of it and to include things that coercive or centralizing forces may demand.
@graveskies@LukeDashjr Yes I agree about inspiring folks to run a home hasher with an Ocean Datum template. I just got one running recently to do this.
@thetrocro@Dennis_Porter_@LeonidasNFT This again is the fallacy of the chain being different than the token running on it. This is a corruption of the purpose of the chain, like anti-BTC business people being pro blockchain and anti BTC money. The money token is the ONLY point of the chain.
@LeonidasNFT Your saying there’s no difference between censoring monetary txs and filtering jpegs is precisely false. Satoshi was for filtering Lady Gaga because it’s not monetary. Your fees for jpegs is not monetary. You’re conflating paying the network with sending money. THEY R DIFFERENT!
@MZietzke@r0ckstardev You seem to be playing a semantics game and to be implying there is zero credibility to the idea that "Bitcoin the system" is designed to be, and should be used, exclusively for the purpose of the transmission of "Bitcoin the asset."
@innerpathing@yoltartar Beautiful animations. I agree with your dad that they’re better than anything AI could make, and also there’s much more meaning because you made them. I like the rawness of the recording and agree with others that it’s more beautiful this way.
This so true for me. When I wanted to learn programming, it was always about the goals, many small goals. Yes in hind sight all the small projects and minor goals add up to a journey, but it’s always been about reaching the next goal. I learned so much more having a specific goal and learning whatever it took to get there, which was always way harder and involved more complications, constraints, and requirements than any tutorial could provide. In the big picture I don’t look back and value the journey as anything other than having accomplished so many goals.
Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in America, contains glyphosate. Glyphosate exposure has been linked to all kinds of diseases, including Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 95% of our corn, and much of our wheat, is routinely sprayed with Roundup. This is something every American should be concerned about. @joerogan #Kennedy24
