Or it's just a plausible dementi: ohh shit, my keys got stolen and I lost all my coins... sorry for the missed tax.

People don't care about this. Save Bitcoin from CP! I want to be a hero.

Whether or not Luke has competent security practices is very relevant given he is developing Knots.

It’s only relevant when all of your other flimsy arguments have fallen flat and you desperately reach for disparagement.

CSAM has been possible to publish on Bitcoin since forever. There is nothing we can do to stop that because preventing the publication of arbitrary data is impossible. You guys turning this into a big loud issue is dramatically increasing the risk that some government decides to use this as a way to attack Bitcoin.

Dude, extracting anything from a transaction requires specialized tools. Whether or not the raw bytes are continuous is irrelevant. Besides, it's easy to construct continuous files that double as valid Bitcoin transactions. You Knots people loudly and continuously bringing up this issue on the other than has a high risk of inviting government action. That alone makes you all a threat to Bitcoin.

What special tools would you need to see OP_Return data? Because when I ask an LLM it just says Core's RPC or a block explorer. Convert the hex to binary with one command and thats it. When I ask it what tools I need to see witness data it says Core RPC, a parsing library, and knowledge of how witness data is structured. It also says its not shown by most explorers. One seems a bit easier for a journalist... Are you lying or is this wrong?

Haha this is never a valid argument: 1. Something shitty has happened 2. Sweep it under the carpet and hope nobody notices The cat is already out of the bag and just because it’s been possible doesn’t mean that nothing should be done about it.

It doesnt even need to hit the blockchain to do everything your saying right? If its a Core 30 node, it will still broadcast the transaction and land in all the mempools with the same policies.

Look how much push back this thing has got, and how 18% of nodes has loudly voted against. Simply don’t increase the op_return from 80 bytes to 100’000 bytes and don’t take away user configuration options. Simply set it to 160 bytes and leave the option to configure it. This is what is all about, is it too much to ask? Clearly there is not enough support for this change. Please man try have a talk with core devs

Wow

hilariously disingenuous ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbiudfmudag

I agree with nostr:nprofile1qqsve2jcud7fnjzmchn4gq52wx9agey9uhfukv69dy0v4wpuw4w53nqpzemhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvscxst82 here, but Luke is not the only developer working on knots. There should never be just one anyways. We need peer review for these reasons but also community support to make a project effective. Still boggles my mind why Core is increasing the default... But this messy method to communicate changes is the new way for now, until we figure out a better way, that we will help organize to take care of our world community without centralized politics or paid spokesmen: Through one perspn bringing community awareness to an issue, raising the community to fight to be heard, one in influence/power realizing thry can make a healthy difference, them making the next step to influence others in such circles, and then as a whole community making that honorable change to fix it. This is more than just bitcoin, it's about how we work together for better changes without the politics and ego that have hurt us for so long. So let's show them we can work together better than the leaders of this world by doing better than them. Maybe Core, or someone in Core is struggling right now to save face or bring doubt that this change makes sense for the long run. Maybe that's the next leader in the making and just needs courage enough to speak up for the community. When was the last time we had a leader on this planet that had that influence, regarded their role as a privilege and understood their role was to help bring the community together, not apart.
