I was tagged in an X post by @Stephan Livera correctly dismantling the false narrative that BIP110 is today largely supported by the small block faction of the block size war era. There’s been a bunch of stolen valor post-block size wars: maxis that associated themselves with the small block movement, but actually weren’t around at all during the 2015-2017 years, or at least weren’t well-known at the time. Out of the prominent small blockers of these days, I believe *only* @Luke Dashjr @Luke Dashjr is now in favour of BIP110. Everyone else that I can think of is either against it, or maybe in a few cases still kind of neutral/undecided. FWIW

What Aaron is trying to do lately is to divide the BIP110 supporters. Ignore his misinformation and FUD. Run your Bitcoin Knots and BIP110 🤙 Bitcoin is Freedom Money 🤙 (not an arbitrary database)

Dude cant stand the fact that a lot of people are calling him out and correcting his faulty logic
Exactly, Blocksize war is long ago settled for good. Not sure what his incetive is to support spam but he definitely has some. image

Ok, so now you’re inferring why other people may or may not want run nodes, which is a largely unfalsifiable claim— though I would point out that the data we have available suggests that users don’t mind: node count has risen in recent years despite all the Inscriptions nonsense. We can speak for ourselves, however. For me it makes no difference whether it’s 1MB of monetary data or 1MB of dickbutts. My node operates the same from my perspective. (Even slightly better if it’s dickbutts, but we can leave that aside for now.) Does it make a difference to you?

Agree. I think most of knotzis are from 2021 "NFT" era. In those times newcomers were either strongly for NFT (and went to shit coins) or strongly against and went to Bitcoin. The bitcoiners from before honestly don't care about jpegs (except Luke) and (correctly) assume no one will care about them in the future. Good thing is that knotzis are mostly small holders and can't change Bitcoin. Sad thing is we are possibly going to loose whole generation of Bitcoiners. However, if Sailor comes out in favour f bip 110, this is really going to get to block size wars level of drama.
22%+ of the Bitcoin network is running Bitcoin Knots because they dislike spam and for them Bitcoin is Freedom Money 7%+ are already running BIP110 because Bitcoin is Freedom Money and NOT an arbitrary database Saylor already said he is against spam on Bitcoin and many many others as well.

90% + of people in Bitcoin are against spam. (I could say 100% are against spam, just 10% think jpegs is not spam) @Aaron van Wirdum is against spam. You think we have to try very hard to stop the spam asap. Most Bitcoiners (I hope :D) think spam is temporary and we should not waste time on spam. We should defiantly NOT risk contentious soft fork because of spam. We should scale Bitcoin so that monetary transactions price out the spam. If monetary transactions can't do that, we have lost anyway.
Is he against spam? image People who are against spam on Bitcoin run BIP110 and also run Bitcoin Knots or older versions of Core to filter out big data OP_RETURN spam and keep their mempool clean. Although the compromised Core devs refused to fix inscriptions spam so even recent Core versions before the malware Core V30 are not optimal. Its fixed in Bitcoin Knots.

Fees are super low, because people are not using bitcoin that much. I am sending 1sat/vbyte transactions! When is the last time you checked fees ? They are going down. So of course spam is going up.

Core supporters doing the same by labeling knots and bip110 as the bcashers. The sad thing is that core got us into this med mess by being more aligned with the spammers then the community.
No, they’re mostly newer Bitcoiners— but my experience with them is very reminiscent of what I dealt with when engaging with big blockers back in the day. (The simplistic talking points, the misattribution of authority to Bitcoin Core, the conspiracy-fueled outrage…) You just provided a few examples of this in your post as well.

This is definately not my experience. Veterans of the blocksize war against v30 include Giacomo Francis poulio Luke jr Hodlnaut Jimmy song just to mention a few. Most of the current core devs werent there. In your view have the way core went ahead with a totally unnecessary change a good thing.
