I find it extremely funny that you don’t understand that it doesn’t matter how many nodes run with Knots. It only takes one miner to break away from your censorship and do things differently.
You don’t understand that it’s much more lucrative for miners to allow data than to leave it out.
For you, the additional data changes absolutely nothing! The blockchain grows at a maximum of 4MB every 10 minutes, and if you don’t want the OP_Return data, just delete it.
What you’re forgetting in your obsession with blocking “spam” is that if you prevent one method, people will find new ways to integrate data into the blockchain. These methods already exist, and they’re even more inefficient—and suddenly, they can no longer be pruned.
So have fun fighting this pointless ideological battle. My node will never block transactions, and my miners will always allow data.
