I find it extremely funny that you don’t understand that it doesn’t matter how many nodes run with Knots. It only takes one miner to break away from your censorship and do things differently. You don’t understand that it’s much more lucrative for miners to allow data than to leave it out. For you, the additional data changes absolutely nothing! The blockchain grows at a maximum of 4MB every 10 minutes, and if you don’t want the OP_Return data, just delete it. What you’re forgetting in your obsession with blocking “spam” is that if you prevent one method, people will find new ways to integrate data into the blockchain. These methods already exist, and they’re even more inefficient—and suddenly, they can no longer be pruned. So have fun fighting this pointless ideological battle. My node will never block transactions, and my miners will always allow data.

I fear this is the beginning of the end. I hope one day we’re not arguing over if bitcoin should move to proof of stake, and larger blocks again so we can cram more pointless scam tokens into bitcoin. “It’s pointless to do proof of work, we can mint tokens so much faster through PoS, what’s it matter they’ll be minted anyway since we removed the guardrails. And let’s just up the block size too. What’s it matter? It’s pointless the blockchain will be huge eventually, let’s just bump up the size now and cut to the chase, we can sell me ordinal tokens!” I find it extremely funny that a protocol was made for monetary transactions and you think it’s alright to spam and bloat the process, even welcome it. What’s the end goal here? Mint as much garbage tokens and ordinals to sell overpriced UTXOs to weak minded individuals with deep pockets, and VCs and crypto firms get rich? And you cheer that on? They make money and tell you it’s pointless to filter their spam and you lap that up? I’m all for individuals being individuals and self sovereignty. That’s why I became a part of this community. But I’ll stand up for the integrity of this project when developers and VCs start making actual software changes for me “in my best interest.” Think who benefits the most from these changes. What is the point of putting non transactional data on the block chain? Just because you can, you should be able to permanently alter software code that’s run by the majority of the nodes? That’s shady at best, I’m picking sides.
