Good morning. Gentle reminder that Bitcoin is digital land. The media, including most social media systems are owned by those who own most everything these days. They do not want you to know what Bitcoin really is and are doing their best to buy as much as they can before the masses find out. Bitcoin as an invention/discovery should have one every prize in the book by now. It has not because of the above. If you are reading this count yourself fortunate to have heard the news

Wall St. not telling anyone how cheap we are getting. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest

The more honest nodes, the better. Bitcoin needs many geographically-distributed nodes to ensure decentralization and censorship resistance. Anything that makes running a node more difficult should be a non-starter.

Currently thanks to Bitcoin Core, nodes are being abused - forcing them to store spam and possible CSAM - which increases network centralization and adds legal risk into the bargain. RDTS/BIP444 fixes this data storage 'bug'. Is this big picture argument really so hard to follow?

Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 444 prevents node abuse - forcing nodes to accept blocks full of spam - which is endangering the decentralization of the network. This abuse is being facilitated by Core's changes and Core's unfixed bugs. The users are standing up to this with their feet, as witnessed by the dramatic increase in Knots nodes

Good Morning! Run knots!

Morning :) Here's your occasional reminder that 'X' censors content, removes likes from posts and limits the reach of its users. X is not what it appears to be. If it's on your screen, the platform is allowing you to see it. It's only software and can be programmed

The prospective BIP 444 is a defensive move which was initiated by core going rogue and releasing v30 despite huge USER pushback. Nothing more - nothing less. Activate the users and you'll get to see users activating a soft fork

When this excellent doctor posts, this is all I get to see. Only happens with his stuff. I like them anyway

Just a quick reminder Musk's platform is just a software tool designed to control the flow of information. Don't think that because you can post there that anyone will get to read your thoughts and opinions. X is designed to make you think you are reaching a new audience. You are'nt

What Twitter will not show you They keep us in the dark Zero engagement Zero reach

Sly attacks on Luke Truly a war

Adding jpegs to monetary transactions adds spam to the money in your pocket. Somebody's dirty washing is not in your pocket at the moment and it shouldn't be there in the future either. Satoshi was right, this is an accident waiting to happen

Core's updates - now even in multiple older versions - allow for large arbitrary data including child abuse jpegs from landing onchain => Legal Risk. No core - no problem

Bitcoin is a monetary network Decentralized - because of its many and necessary node runners. Like bitcoin like it is? Run a node Run Knots

There should be ZERO nodes running core 30 - To make up for these bad actors we need lots more nodes - Running Knots. If you are not running a node already, please consider spinning one or two up

Arbitrary data storage is not a feature of money Run Knots - Ditch core

Core opens up node runners to legal risk, meaning bitcoin control moves into the hands of the few, not the many. Knots

SPAM - will not be funded by my node That keeps bitcoin in the hands of the many, not the few

Can we please have a bugfix for this 'Bitcoin core' spam attack - abusing this oversight in consensus rules. That's all that is needed to plug the hole and stop nodes from spamming bitcoin with non monetary transactions. Until then - Everybody who can install software: Run Knots
