>> signals it’s the “Bitcoin is money not arbitrary data storage” version of Core to achieve the social signaling to the network. It’s not about signaling anything (as far as policy goes), it’s about using the best client and policy as you see fit and having optionality. Bitcoin is for enemies, while I hate spam, I share the sentiment and weariness of the slippery slope for filters with the avenue Luke has talked about as depicted by The Rage.

>> More surprising was that Peter Todd mentioned in the thread that he was being paid $1000 to push through the change. Is that how little it costs to undermine the future of Bitcoin as money? My read on that was that Antoine paid him to redo it, as he did the PR initially, so that Peter could get the credit for his PR. If you think this PR undermines the future of Bitcoin as money, we heavily disagree there, for reasons outlaid throughout our dialogue above. If a single policy change could kill Bitcoin, it was not as anti fragile as you thought, and you should reconsider your position in it.
