How is ASmap heuristic node clustering much different from Chainalysis' heuristic utxo clustering?? Both are applying (questionable) heuristics to some public (or private) metadata; Are Bitcoiners really advocating for the use central banlists* now? REALLY?? 🤮 *yup, it's literally downloading a list from . But i'm sure our beloved governments will provide such a curated peer list going forward... 🤦

I understand that the *intent* of Asmap is righteous; but at the end of the day your are banning/closung connections to peers that are "on the list" I just hate everything about it. Pseudo-scientitic labeling of "good vs bad" peers. We'll get a risk score next
