Bitcoin Core needs a time out. The developers may be technically brilliant, but they have lost ground with the broader community and the many people who have entrusted their life savings to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is money. Spam has no place on the timechain. Bitcoin Core must change course

Npub.cash = custodial Lightning service Cashu = custodial ecash via a mint (unless you run your own) Both are cool experiments for privacy & UX — but don’t confuse them with Bitcoin self-custody. Not your keys, not your coins. 🧡

JPEG spam is economic activity but it's extremely wasteful. Store JPEGs in other places which are optimized for that like imgur, ipfs etc. Bitcoin is money

Say no to Spam on the Timechain

Bitcoin is money

The real risk isn’t just a 51% attack. It’s insiders colluding with VC money to change Bitcoin’s code paying devs to include spam. That’s cheaper than mining attacks. Run @BitcoinKnots

Security is not binary. Filters are economic tools. They raise friction & time-to-relay. If a minority of nodes/miners carry sub-1sat, you get leakage, not failure. The goal is not to stop every tx everywhere, but to prevent the network as a whole from becoming a free relay for spam (ie, dick pics, child abuse)… A filter that reduces bandwidth/mempool abuse by 80–90% is still doing its job. Or is your pushback less about principle and more about VC profit-making?

@BitcoinKnots vs Bitcoin Core

With the upcoming Bitcoin Core version 30 (slated for release end of October 30, a significant shift is occurring: Users are being drawn away from a purely financial-focused blockchain to one increasingly used for images, inscriptions, “runes,” and other non-monetary data.

First Dos-attacks now death threat lies

First they ignore Knots. Then they mock Knots. Then they Dos-Attack Knots nodes. Then… Knots dominates 51% of the network…. Soon
