In completely unsurprising news, the guy who stole a signed hat out of the hands of a child has confirmed he's a massive asshole.

Tennis finally getting interesting this summer. Toxicity is growing.
What a fucking rodent
Deport him immediately, and revoke any ability to return to the US
He’s a CEO in Poland.
WHO WAS IN AMERICA… 🤦♂️
AND MAY STILL BE! 🙄
"Do you know who I am? I'll sue you!"
What a cunt.
Lesson learned. If the sport sucks, just add a few assholes and viola. Top tier entertainment 👌
Great adjective
CEOs are becoming increasingly toxic people. It’s not a surprise why so many people can’t stand them.

Well, he has shown us who he really is through word and through deed.
Not unlike yourself. This is a matter of property rights. And you have been attacking mempool sovereignty. Fuck off.
this dickhead deserves a meme so that he can be mocked forever on the internet.
Sadly polish cities like Krakow and Warsaw have plenty entitled people like him.
I love the narrative of "I competed for and won that hat fair and square!" when it's a grown adult who bullied it out of the hands of the child.
Soooo I guess that kid should have ... (checks notes) ... donned a Mech suit to fight back...?
Oh no, retarded bacon! 🤣
At least I embrace my retardation. We are all of us profoundly retarded in various ways. Limited in our abilities and our ascertainment of knowledge. But you still won't own up to your intellectual dishonesty, and to YOUR blind spots. Your limitations. You think you know well enough to think on behalf of everyone who runs Core. That is socialism. One of us is honest, the other willfully ignorant and subversive. So GFY.
I hope his shareholders queue tomorrow to dump the shares.
First come, first served.
yeah, his embrace of the ethereum slut is sufficient for me to forever discount every further word he utters.
Slut is too good of a word for that Turing complete nightmare.
hopefully they completely turing it and allow goto and then someone makes it delete all the tokens in a loop and send out the launch codes.
That's really embarrassing to use a post about the kid and the hat to make the bizarre paranoid rant about an unrelated topic
I bet he runs Core
Is it though? It's related in one clear way: he's pretending to care about property rights and propriety, virtue signalling while diverting attention away from his dishonesty with Core.
You should be the one embarrassed, fuckwit.
How one can attack mempool sovereignty? 🤔
I bet you don't run a node
By lying about, remaining willfully ignorant of, or silencing debate about, how the Bitcoin software works in order to push a change to the software that some users, by means of the dishonesty, no longer give informed consent to. That is exactly what LARP here and his buddies have been doing.
The change in direction Core gas taken is specifically aimed at eroding Core users' control over their mempool over the course of the next few updates, and the public discussion has been misrepresented by them over and over again so that only the most in tune bitcoiners have been able to understand the dishonesty, regardless of their stance on spam.
I am not philosophically anti-spam as a primary. I am anti-aggression and anti-dishonesty before I am anti-spam. And that is why even if you don't think NFTs on the timechain are spam, you should take note. This isn't about spam. It's an attack on individual control.
For the record I increased my datacarrier size in Knots a bit to accommodate larger hash data structures. It's trivial to find a good solution among those who care about these things I laid out. The top Core devs are just dishonest to a frankly pathetic level. I don't want people to fall for their bullshit, 'tis why I'm posting. You should be absolutely fucking ashamed of yourself, @Jameson Lopp
What's your stance with free market vs. developer dictatorship? 🤔
I don't like spam either
No one arbitrary person decides what spam is, nor does any collective. Spam is what you think is spam, that's it. You don't have the right to dictate every node's actions. You have the right to dictate your OWN node's actions. Core has these reversed judging by their actions, and they are DARVOing.
From my perspective NFTs definitely are spam. But if one wants to spend their bitcoin such wastefully, why should anybody else care?
There is no free market without personal responsibility.
Bitcoin is the first truly open and free market and there's a lot of people involved without any personal responsibility
I let them through my mempool, but not the ones with the inscriptions hack.
But that's a personal preference.
You're avoiding the real issue. You have every right to make this choice for your OWN NODE and little reason to fall in line with a cabal of lead devs.
So? Point?
I didn't say that would crumble the system. You're gonna have to make actual arguments for me to remain engaged in this discussion. It's boring. I'm not gonna do all the thinking for you.
Yes, everybody are free to DO the work, mine blocks and decide what valid transactions to include in the blocks.
Bitcoin is designed in a such way that others who DON'T do the work don't get to say what valid transactions to include in blocks. And that really is very good thing!
By definition, in #Bitcoin, a node's job is NOT to dictate what kind of transactions should go in the blocks. Their job is to ensure that the rules are being followed on the network, transactions and blocks are valid and coordinate the work of miners.
How about the Poles boycott his company, give all the business to his competitors and then say "first come, first served, chin up, stop being a whiny baby" 😏
Shareholders ask for him to step down, social media backlash continues and, voila, Karma 😎
If that is true then I don't consent to run your definition of Bitcoin.
You really are lost.
If you end up forking yourself out of consensus later down the line with the decisions you make in favor of distancing yourself as much as possible from personal responsibility and yielding more power to dishonest technocrats, you can go crying to Papa Lopp, because you'll only get an "I told you so" from me.
If you don't have control over your mempool, who the fuck do you think does? If everyone thought like you, they'd surrender to a dictatorship of developers dumbass.
right, so, as a bitcoin node runner, i should be happy to transmit spam. got it.
where is your red line? homo porn? snuff?
my red line is where it stops being money and starts being a generic database.
Sorry, the level of willful ignorance is just baffling.
Is it actually a question of liability to say that Poles have always been fast when it comes to “finding” things away from the original owner?
bafflement is a red flag for malicious disinformation (and the dupes who re-propagate it).
"bullshit baffles brains"
stop thinking about it. run your knots, and turn off that channel. they are trying to distract you from your job.
You're a savage for calling lopp out like that. Mad respect bacon.
Miners dont even have to be *convicted* bitcoiners. They could even be fiat maxis trying to profit off of a low cost energy source - immediatety converting corn to fiat trash.
That is one of the marvels of POW consensus and coin emission (DA-POW), it is fueled by greed and opportunity, not those looking to "support their project"
Oh don't worry, I do when I've done enough of calling out the B.S. for one day. 🧡
Thank you! 🤌🥓
As a node runner, you should be happy to verify your incoming transactions as valid. That's why you're running the node, right?
My red line is economic transactions, I consider almost all other transactions as spam and waste, but I really don't get to say what others want to do with their bitcoin.
If Bitcoin continues to work, then in the end, block space will be so valuable that only economic transactions will be rational.
If you run example knots or core you run it 😄
Clarify which dictatorship you want. Because if it's not dictatorship of me over only my mempool and nobody else's, then as a matter of fact I am not running your idea of Bitcoin. I have control over my node. I have a mind and I use it to tailor my settings. What you want is a dictatorship of developers, ironically, just your preferred flavor of it.
Everyone running a node has control over their mempool. Some node runner wants to see the whole picture and all available valid transactions so they can clearly see what's going on in the network, some wants to filter some transactions out and see the network only partly and some want to see only specific transactions in the mempool.
One noteworthy thing I noticed when playing with the filters was that, we have to download twice the transactions we try to filter. Once when we see them first time and reject it and second time when they enter in the block. It's not that bad but if one wants to optimize bandwidth usage they should not use any filters.
You have every right to refuse to relay stuff with your own computer. That is indisputable.
You're absolutely right.
This statement is self contradictory.
Is it the nodes job to make sure everyone is following the rules? If so then it is the nodes job to dictate what is a valid transaction or not.
Simple
And you may have an incentive to relay some things but not other things according to your self interest. This becomes a technical debate that gets into economics and whatnot too, and I guarantee you either do not understand the other side's position or you are engaging dishonestly.
Have you looked into the cache settings?
I had a feeling he was a CEO when I saw the video of him stealing the hat from a child.
That kind of behaviour, it's typical of CEOs.
They love to steal from those who have less than them

miners owning their own mining rigs and node runners owning their own nodes is socialism.
As socialism is defined as the workers owning the means of production.
The only way to stop Bitcoin being socialist would be to restrict who can run a node or mine.
People who say "deport" as a first response to anything typically aren't paying attention or thinking about things they're just angry and butthurt about something and it clouds their judgement and blinds them
You have control over your node but not over what valid transactions are included in the blocks, except if you work and mine them by yourself.
Mempools can be full of various transactions but only transactions that pay enough fee to be included in block are relevant in the end.
I want developers to not dictate anything about transaction types. Bitcoin transaction is a digital message and I want everybody to be free to sign any kind of message they want as a transaction even if I and 99% of other users consider it spam/waste.
We know that free market is the only way to filter transactions without dictatorship and I would like to have as many people as possible to understand that so we can continue with more productive discussions like Bitcoin privacy and censorship resistance.
Here’s brain dead kayne chiming in again, with another brain dead take.
"Insulting a public figure is subject to legal liability."
This is where the asshole is
I didn't know that there's a way to use mempool cache to also include filtered transactions, but I guess that makes sense if using filters. Thanks for the notice.
Zero apologies.
His reputation will continue to pay.
Typical Polish behaviour. Look at Israel.
Like Palestine?
I find Polish people to be extremely entitled. Most irritating people out there.
Node runners don't get paid to do work.
Still makes zero economic sense to run a Bitcoin node.
Bitcoin makes less sense each day.
Bad bacon. You're making people dumber with this slop.
Running a node is about eliminating trust. It only makes economic sense to do so if you have a lot to lose.
Cypherpunk Cogitations
Securing Your Financial Sovereignty
How and why to defend your bitcoin with a full node.
Mempool sovereignty isn't a thing.
Sure, you can do whatever you want with your mempool. Hell, you can completely turn it off with the "blocksonly" config!
But eventually your node is going to download and validate transactions that you don't like if you're a spam hating Puritan.
Thinking it makes a difference if the impure transactions touch your mempool is delusional.
That's rich coming from Jameson Slop. But I appreciate the feedback.
There is no ‘I’ in team but there is a ‘U’ in CUNT.
Mr. Czczerek, may your life continue to be full of misery for yourself and those around you. God speed 🙏
You expect people to take that non-argument seriously? I have demonstrated repeatedly that my stance does not rest on any spam absolutist premise. And this disregards the reality that filters have an effect, which you implicitly agree with by your own actions. Which warrants, to any reasonable person, a response to the many legitimate arguments coming from the Knots side, which you always ignore. This really is a lackluster attempt at distorting the facts, Mr. Slop. I'm not very impressed by you.
What's it like to be a professional grifter? Rewarding? It has no appeal to me, personally.
testing zaps for this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at donal@speed.app, over a period of about 8 hours. Six of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 6 satoshis received. problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (the zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) this means a nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚡ icon after zapping.... if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- 
... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

Things get better the more you drift away from big cities. Good people.
wtf is tennis?
Not much money to be made in snuff films. Who would be paying to upload this gabage? Doubt they could do much of this longterm.
Unlawful acts like murder, filming murder, paying to upload it to a blockchain would obviously agressively prosecuted at the source.
My node validating a transaction that contains a provably upspendable UTXO with questionable content, that I can then drop forever.......doubt this will be a problem
He sounds like a giant tool and could care less it seems
If he were a Nodrunner he would run Knutz
