Because they're obviously hard to understand, so people are reluctant to immediately have strong opinions about it. The problem with things like the block size, op return and RBF is that they're deceptively simple. People don't feel like they need to spend a bunch of time reading up on the topic to form an opinion. Combine that with "influencers" to up the emotional ante and you have a recipe for drama.
It's a very similar dynamic as with bike shedding.

It's not a strawman. Static content filters do not mitigate spam on the blockchain at all.
To continue the police analogy, to reduce spam you need actual deterrence in the form of very serious real cost. Such cost should ideally be imposed on the spammer or on the miner that facilitates the spammer. The former would require KYC. The latter can be done. But be careful what you wish for.

Paid volunteers are a thing. Especially if you consider the opportunity cost of not working for Google.
From the point of view of a user it doesn't matter if a developer is working from savings, government welfare, or hired by a benevolent rich Bitcoiner. Users are not customers of the developers. There's no fiduciary duty. They don't get to make demands. You would treat them exactly as you would a volunteer in the more narrow sense of an unpaid volunteer.

The most effective way to encourage significant censorship by all miners is to credibly threaten them with reorgs if they include bad things. Needless to say, that would set terrible precedent and probably be the actual end of Bitcoin.

Interesting idea, could stimulate people to use Stratum v2 / DATUM without having to run a fork of Bitcoin Core:
> While discussing this here it does occur to me that there is a different line of compromise which might make more sense-- Bitcoin Core conflates relay policy and mining policy. The historical reason for this is that they should match or vaguely bad things happen. But in case where there is a dispute over policy it makes more sense for mining to be the more restrictive of the two, because the negative effects largely come from miners including txn nodes weren't expecting. So maybe it would make sense to change the option to be one that only changed mining policy. At least as mining policy it has a real effect (assuming you're mining!) -- I'm not sure, this is just an off the cuff thought.
Though this also sounds like an implementation headache, and it's still ultimately a placebo. Since this would only be used by tiny miners, the thing they don't like will go in the next block.

So is this point from a followup:
> Sometimes developers have left in options to silence disputes from people in the sense of "look if there is an option it will have no effect because virtually no one will set it, and the people committed to this argument can feel that they won, that they did something, but it's really just a placebo". It's expedient but arguably it's not particularly respectful. Especially in a case like this where even if virtually everyone set the option it still wouldn't have the intended effect.

My first impression of Bitcoin Core, during the blocksize wars, was also that of arrogance. It's an unfortunate side-effect of people losing patience when having to re-explain something a hundred times. Time they're not spending on writing code, and energy they're losing to remain motivated to write code.
The project is run by volunteers who do not have time, and should not waste time, for maintaining useless functionality. Having people in the project that are (somewhat) comfortable in delivering such bad news is extremely important. I've been on the receiving end of that too internally.
You do not want Bitcoin Core to be a please-everyone kind of project. That's a recipe for unmaintainable code and really bad bugs down the line.

Thank you for the response.
Re Citrea. While they might be further along, it's still far from the usual rigid requirement, and certainly not an operational product.
This just makes the whole reference to and argument for Citrea in the OP mailing list incredibly weak (and dangerous imho)
Re: GitHub
First, I disagree that this qualifies already as "harassment". It's a valid, albeit dissenting argument, which should be able to be presented at the main stage.
Second, resorting to fine print bureaucract arguments for blocking ("Oh you should not have discussed this here's but in the line over there") makes Core look incredibly weak and insecure. Especially without warning/notice.
You must see that.
This is not the way trustworthy stewardship of a critical FOSS project looks like.

Citrea is much further along than a whitepaper.
The limits were on the verge of being dropped two years ago because inscriptions made them useless. That change was only held back by the argument that there's a small range of sizes where OP_RETURN is cheaper.
That was never a strong argument, so yes, a single example like Citrea was plenty to dismiss that last remaining argument.
I explained all that in my mailinglist post, feel free to read it.
Consensus changes like CTV is totally different from standardness. The latter requires broad consensus, because the consequence of inconsistent enforcement are catastrophic, etc.
Modetating harassers is perfectly legitimate. His concern about a conflict of interest was absolutely spurious here. It's also been stated multiple times that discussions about standardness should be had on the mailinglist, not in the pull request.
Pretending to be a censorship victim is the oldest trick in the book.

-
@ 3ba9b8cf:73ee1623
2025-04-29 08:27:35
Citrea publishes some whitepaper(!), for a bridge that would benefit from relaxed OP_RETURN limits.
Immediately everybody at Core: "yeah let's DROP the limits - they're useless anyway. LFG 🚀"
All the while other major changes (e.g. CTV) there's years of filibuster: Where is your signet implementation? Where is your documented user demand? Where is the documented consensus? etc etc etc
[Ironically, something like CTV would have done away with the interactive presigning ceremonies that particularly hinder 2way pegs such as said Citrea's bridge]
You see the point why people are confused by how Core is handling that, don't you???
Besides, blocking dissenting voices from GH for the slightest of disagreements is absolutely disgusting 👎

I think the blockchain just isn't a "controller", or any other entity that some sort of obligation. It's only about what people put on it. So an exchange that generates a deposit address for you is now responsible to hold that PII private.
-
@ 8685ebef:58f8faf8
2025-04-29 06:40:01
I think a Bitcoin address should be considered PII just like an IP address. With a possible exception if it's been mixed, freshly mined and held, never touched a custodian, etc. Now that would have serious implications for these surveillance companies.

You can just maintain your own fork of Bitcoin Core. Ask nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm for tips. Or run Knots which has all sorts of mempool purification features. You can't force volunteers to maintain therapeutic features.

🔔 🔔 NEW OP_RETURN 🔔 🔔
Concept NACK. Hard to take this seriously. Those config options not having direct impact over what miners may put in blocks does not equate to users no longer having a choice over what ends up in their mempools.

In terms of how to deal with it: tell your kids to use and/or donate all the money and not leave an inheritance?

The tendency of third generations to spoil their inherited wealth or empire has een independently discovered in many cultures. It seems to be human nature. In the case of wealth it's a nice way to achieve redistribution without taxations. With empires it can be quite painful for the subjects, depending on how the next guy goes about his conquest.

People started losing the ability to use language when the internet gave them communication with pictures.
I thought that was bad; but I suspect that as AI continues to develop, people are going to lose the ability to think at all.

The Humble Administrator’s Garden in Suzhou, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built over 16 years starting in 1513 by Wang Xianchen.
After his death, his son inherited the garden — and quickly lost it to gambling.
A Chinese proverb captures this: 富不过三代 — “Wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations.”
How do Bitcoiners plan to break this cycle and preserve generational wealth?

Even more than €0,12.
But everything is maxed out here at the moment. I love the sound of free mining at home 😂

Actually* negative electricity tomorrow for three hours. You know what to do.
* = even with the €0,12 energy tax. Yes, you have to pay a tax even on negatively priced electricity. Yes, you have to pay VAT over this tax. Because government. They do build nice roads though, no potholes.

Basically to back the age old tiring arguments around "spam" with some proof-of-work.
It's too cheap to say your node does X. It's even too cheap to say your pool censors X, since there's negligible revenue impact in the current fee market. And equally negligible hinderance for the person doing X, since it just goes in the next block.
Reorging a competitor block is an expensive signal. And if it succeeds it would deter other miners to include X.
Of course it would set a terrible example for governments to copy, but hey, gotta fight "spam" at all cost, right?

If you're going to reorg a block because its content is evil, or just doesn't obey your favorite new soft fork rules, please put its hash in a coinbase OP_RETURN of your alternative block.
That proves you saw the block but chose not to accept it. As opposed to just having missed it, as with a typical stale block.
Call it a Bad Uncle block?
You could even do this with weak blocks (reduced proof of work) if all you have is a BitAxe.

The concept of a “prerogative state” that operates in parallel to do the dirty work, is an interesting concept. Recent news of ICE trying to arrest someone in a court room and then arresting the judge from trying to prevent that, remind me of this.
That said, the El Salvador gulag still has a lower death rate than Nazi concentration camps - so let's not get too carried away?

English TL&DR there's a proposal to tax cars by surface area instead of weight. Somehow this is supposed to be better for electric cars because their batteries are heavy. (Not really, because the battery weight also needs to be flat and close the floor for balance and leg room reasons, making them long and wide).
My hot take: future cars will be (unstable) narrow double deckers.
