I haven’t twisted any argument. I simply responded to your argument that ‘the number of knots nodes is irrelevant because miners will just mine the spam anyway’. It’s actually knots + core prior v30, and the ratio between that sum and core 30 nodes will dictate whether miners can just ‘ignore filters’. It’s important to address this point. An argument I see against knots a lot is that it’s a losing game because miners will just mine spam because they are economically incentivised to. Well if enough nodes filter spam they are not economically incentivised to. The more core 30 nodes the more incentive to mine spam. Core 30 is bad because it facilitates and supports the transfer and relay of arbitrary data anonymously for free anywhere around the globe. That data doesn’t even have to be mined to relayed to the other side of the world. This is an unnecessary attack vector. Granted, the severity of core 30’s impacts is dependent on its adoption.
