I support what #Knots and #Ocean are doing. If you're a #Bitcoin #loyalist you should run Knots and point your Miners at Ocean.

I'm not concerned about fees that are the results of a natural organic process of supply and demand. Unfortunately current bitcoin #fees are the result of market #manipulation and #fraud that has to end. Or at least be aggressively opposed.

I don't mind the expense and burden of blockchain bloat that's the result of legitimate Bitcoin #financial transactions. But not bloat that's the result of market manipulation and fraud.

I would also like to see a third leg of Bitcoin #code maintenance and development aggressively focused on Bitcoins virtue and purity. I think  @Luke Dashjr is doing a good job. But he can't carry that torch alone. And shouldn't have to.

So that's my 2¢

 Can you help me understand how to determine that high fees are caused by manipulation and fraud?  
 It would be helpful for node runners without hash-power to know what, if anything, they can do, to participate in this action. 

My understanding is that switching to Knots or running the Ordisrespector patch will slow the propagation of 'Ordinals', at the P2P layer, but won't stop them eventually finding their way in to blocks.

Is this still a meaningful way to register ones opposition to Ordinals? 

If the exploitation of witness data is patched, at a broad level, would those dumping jpegs into blocks pivot in some way, and would this be a more or less favourable situation vs where we currently stand?

 I think anything we can #safely do will help, and should be done. Like the above.

If that's not enough we may have to up the stakes..💀😩🦍😂🧡😊 
 I already run BitcoinKnots for the reasons you stated 
 The more people who deploy a fix, the more effective it becomes

 Those Taproot guys... 
 Knots also has the property of being a Bitcoin app without the ” images” , therefore it can be run by a business without the fear of being attacked for kiddie images and other stuff 
 My primary concern is about the abuse and misuse of precious block space with garbage.

And the artificial and fraudulent market manipulation of legitimate #Bitcoin transaction fees.

They say we can't do anything about that. Or that The cure is worse than the disease. But at least #Knots is aggressively opposing it. And that's what everyone should be doing.

I think a solution can and will be found. I can think of several. Until then, we should all do what we can to stop and suppress it..🤔
