Thank you as well for your note on this!…
I’ll just add that I personally see Bitcoin strictly as a monetary system—and that’s the only role I support for it. Since I switched to running Knots (initially as a test on one of my nodes), the change has been wonderfully quiet—especially compared to when I was running Bitcoin Core. This silence isn’t just soothing for my ears… my dogs are sleeping better too! 🐾 And beyond comfort, it likely helps extend the device’s lifespan by giving the RAM a real break. 😉

Sorry man, filters don't work. Look at the sub sat transaction research. Flip it over, imagine you want to stop me from putting a consensus valid (this is very important) transaction on chain and you have 90% of nodes. Research shows you cannot stop me. Again b/c my transaction is consensus valid, filters are relay policy. If filters actually worked an attacker could easily spin up thousands of AWS nodes and eclipse the network. Bitcoin would have very little value b/c that's not censorship resistant. BTW I fucking hate ordinals and OP_Return increase, but this ain't the solution.
