At the fork

Luckily it’s not that big of a deal sir

I disagree.

What the fork!

Fair enough

In a truly open protocol filters will never fully work. They benefit users by keeping the protocol relatively usable. But here’s the big but: this whole thing is only about mempool filters has nothing to do with what your node will accept as valid tx sooo it’s not that big of a deal

I hope you are right though. I have no problem being wrong. I just want bitcoin to live on as money one way or another. And I call it like I see it.

Never fully is like everything. Enough is enough.

Do you think bitcoin adoption will struggle if relays commonly hold entire 100kb jpegs with gross stuff that's easily readable and sometimes stored in individuals ram if they choose to core Bitcoin? That's not an issue for bitcoin to you? Or is it innacurate to say? Educate me if I am wrong about this. one change I understand within Core 30 is dramatically increasing the limits of what is stored plainly in Op_return, to 100kb.

Of course it’s an issue but mempool filters are not the fix for it. Once confirmed, your node will still download and store the tx. I argue that conversation is needed, just blindly following either camp is not the solution.

This isn't about blindly following a camp. This is about rejecting core 30 because it's broken. I am not a follower. Bitcoin should have more than 2 options. But this is where we are. You fix what is in front of you. One thing at a time.

Run 29, no one forces you to update. That’s the beauty of an open protocol.

That's definitely an option for current nodes. But most people who start a new node for the first time will probably just run the latest version of "the standard" software.

And that’s ok
