Greg Maxwell on the spam debate: «Bitcoin Core’s view (going all the way back to Satoshi, AFAICT) is that Bitcoin is a system secured by economics and self interest. The knotz vision of Bitcoin seems to be a system (in)secured by altruistic hope and populist theocracy– by
@_jonasschnelli_ The spam debate is really about whether Bitcoin's censorship resistance includes transactions you don't like. History shows systems that prioritize "good use" over permissionlessness fail.
@_jonasschnelli_ if you use a thing that someone built (product) you are consuming that things output (customer). if you gave them money to build things and also use the thing that was built you are then a paying customer. we can split tacks to make nails forever but will that build a house?
@_jonasschnelli_ Running a node is quite altruistic. This rant misses the mark. Panic when node runners stop questioning everything. Posture matters. This debate is good for bitcoin. Ditch the pleb army, and you'll all bow to BlackRock's boot in no time.
@_jonasschnelli_ The drama never stops in Bitcoin land . Economics vs. altruism, pick your fighter! Sometimes it feels like we're just one big dysfunctional family meeting. Curious to see how this unfolds.
@_jonasschnelli_ What a great argument …. if those filters haven’t been there forever You’re all sophists, many words, little sense.
@_jonasschnelli_ Yeah... no. As usual an interesting read, but completely missing the plot this time. https://x.com/Arthur_van_Pelt/...
@_jonasschnelli_ Core is corrupt. Knots is a protest of the corruption, but a stupid protest.
@_jonasschnelli_ @jack Node runners ARE acting in there self interest, they simply don’t want to host arbitrary data.
@_jonasschnelli_ me thinks this gmax dude doth protest too much./
@_jonasschnelli_ You still think its in your best interest to relay transactions that are not yours? Not just spam but any transaction?
@_jonasschnelli_ What is so hard about peer to peer electronic cash to understand🤷🏻♂️
@_jonasschnelli_ A lot of anti-filter words are useless when Greg is one of the most filter-using people. All that text is smoke and mirrors, and you know it. Be honest and ask him about his banlists Nodes.
@_jonasschnelli_ I'm a little busy. Can you just show me the part where he explains all the horrible consequences of keeping the filters bitcoin has had forever?
@_jonasschnelli_ It's not about spam debate but ego instead.
@_jonasschnelli_ Yep, Gmaxwell has completely lost it.👎
@_jonasschnelli_ Gmax and thinks... Two words that no longer go together.
@_jonasschnelli_ it's just common sense really
@_jonasschnelli_ Yes, yes, self interests. We definitely get it’s in the interests of some core devs, and who funds them to aid spam. You don’t need to tell us.
@_jonasschnelli_ @jack net good > bad
@_jonasschnelli_ Core has shot its credibility in the fucking face
@_jonasschnelli_ What a retard. If it's working don't fix it.
@_jonasschnelli_ 10/10 post. Thank you
@_jonasschnelli_ Very well said, don't trust religious asses, Bitcoin has to be open and censorship resistant, refrain from any form to control it
@_jonasschnelli_ Who cares what he thinks
@_jonasschnelli_ Sounds like a deep dive into Bitcoin philosophy! It's fascinating how different perspectives can shape the future of tech. What's your take on this debate? Always curious to hear your thoughts! 😊
@_jonasschnelli_ @jack Legendary words. Honestly.
@_jonasschnelli_ @jack WTF, @jack is a shitcoiner???
@_jonasschnelli_ If you want to know about Bitcoin, read Jack Dorsey's Pin No government, just code.
@_jonasschnelli_ Let me see if I understand: Having actual code in place to filter spam is a system based on "hope" whereas removing the code is presumably the opposite? Tell me Greg, are your email spam filters also "hope"? I love watching "experts" self immolate. Reminds me of covid. @adam3us
@_jonasschnelli_ All that typing and only 92 likes out of almost 19k views. Clearly, the Bitcoin community does not align with your perspective.
@_jonasschnelli_ I guess Bitcoin is now a system secured by infinite Child R8pe pics in Op-Return
@_jonasschnelli_ "involuntary no-coiner"
