Oddbean new post about login | logout How would you define censorship? Based on my understanding of it, it is a filter, framed as a filter against spam. So where would this turn into censorship in your opinion?
If a couple of BTC wizards can raise fees for actual BTC users during a bull run cycle and it causes a slow in BTC adoption THAT is censorship. Limiting the amount of spammable data on chain is not censorship, if anything this is anti DDOS protection. are DDOS blockers censorship?
right on Kartoshi, fuckturds should all move to San Francisco where they can choose to shit openly in the streets and at in the same breath bitch about not having privacy during their shitting shitstorm session, morale will improve once Core implements CVE-2023-50428 remedy. Can't wait till the shit litterers WEF cuckturds have better imagination than obfuscating shit as useful data on-chain.
“Causing a slow during a bull run” cannot be reasonably called censorship, anymore than outbidding someone at an auction is “censoring” them from buying the painting (or whatever). There can be considerations about the way to deal with tons of arbitrary data being shoved into the chain, and basically filtering by node policy probably wouldn’t be a bad idea, could slightly raise fees necessary for JPEGS and NFTS to get into blocks over honest bitcoin transactions. (funny, something like ocean mining and stratum v2 use would be optimal for node policy having the largest impact)
Well if it was using multiple criteria to isolate and remove all coinjoins of any kind, then it would be censoring coinjoins/privacy use. But if it is simply setting a different limit to one particular transaction characteristic which just happens to catch some coinjoins and not others, then clearly it isn’t censoring anything, or singling out a TX type, or specifically refusing certain addresses because they are deemed “bad.” Imagine it like this: you setup an email filter to send all emails with the word “unsubscribe” (since it’s always at the bottoms of newsletters & ads) to the spam folder. But it accidentally catches a couple of emails from your friend where they mentioned unsubscribing from Disney+ because Ashoka sucks. Did you censor your friend? Would it seem disproportionate if he got angry and demanded an explanation, and accused you of censoring him and not being open with your email filters? This whole thing seems to have been a big stink over nothing. Doesn’t seem like anyone was acting in bad faith to me. 🤷🏻♂️
