Gentle reminder that Bitcoin is digital land. The media, including most social media systems are owned by those who own most everything these days. They do not want you to know what Bitcoin really is and are doing their best to buy as much as they can before the masses find out. Bitcoin as an invention/discovery should have one every prize in the book by now. It has not because of the above. If you are reading this count yourself fortunate to have heard the news npub13vugstcewd9vr9nntzde3xq282femsz75rg8qdv55um3adtnqn9qq8nn5v JustBalances Wall St. not telling anyone how cheap we are getting. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest npub13vugstcewd9vr9nntzde3xq282femsz75rg8qdv55um3adtnqn9qq8nn5v JustBalances The more honest nodes, the better. Bitcoin needs many geographically-distributed nodes to ensure decentralization and censorship resistance. Anything that makes running a node more difficult should be a non-starter. npub13vugstcewd9vr9nntzde3xq282femsz75rg8qdv55um3adtnqn9qq8nn5v JustBalances Currently thanks to Bitcoin Core, nodes are being abused - forcing them to store spam and possible CSAM - which increases network centralization and adds legal risk into the bargain. RDTS/BIP444 fixes this data storage 'bug'. Is this big picture argument really so hard to follow? npub13vugstcewd9vr9nntzde3xq282femsz75rg8qdv55um3adtnqn9qq8nn5v JustBalances Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 444 prevents node abuse - forcing nodes to accept blocks full of spam - which is endangering the decentralization of the network. This abuse is being facilitated by Core's changes and Core's unfixed bugs. The users are standing up to this with their feet, as witnessed by the dramatic increase in Knots nodes npub13vugstcewd9vr9nntzde3xq282femsz75rg8qdv55um3adtnqn9qq8nn5v JustBalances Good Morning!

CURRENT STATE 1. All nodes are blocking the data so <100kb images can’t get stuffed into the chain in easy readable form. 2. Slipstream and MARA wont accept to put illicit images on-chain via their backdoors because it’s a massive business risk for them (and the team would have moral objections too). 3. People that want to put illicit images >80 bytes on-chain are left with the only option to chop up the data in hard to read form. Thereby giving the noderunner plausible deniability and relative safety from government crackdown. 4. As a result the chain is mostly clean from easy readable large 100kb-ish images with illicit content. Yes, there is nasty stuff hidden in convoluted forms, but you have to have special software and know where it is to find it. Thereby, hosting the blockchain is not tied with legal risk. NO FILTER STATE 1. Anyone can put large illicit images >80 bytes into your node. Because you are downloading and decrypting the data in easy readable form by the node software you don’t have plausible deniability and you are exposed to significant personal legal risk. 2. Also, the chain will start getting stuffed with illicit images that everyone will have to store. Which may also become a big problem for node runners down the road, making hosting Bitcoin blockckain into a toxic waste storage operation that many noderunners may opt out of. SUMMARY Core is playing with fire. Changing from current state into a filterless state is not a trivial change as many claim but is connected with significant risk to destroy incentives for noderunners to run nodes. Risking significant decrease in people wanting to run nodes and thereby decreasing Bitcoin decentralization. NOTE An argument I often hear is “only economic node matter”. I’m not sure I agree, but let’s assume it’s true. Then it’s still true that the people running economic nodes have personal risk and if it’s a business then it’s also a team and a business risk that many economic noderunners may not be eager to take. npub13vugstcewd9vr9nntzde3xq282femsz75rg8qdv55um3adtnqn9qq8nn5v JustBalances 'Make it illegal to run a node' Proof of printer protection No the world needs proof of WORK Not proof of paper & ink Bitcoin fixes #Inflation #Deception npub13vugstcewd9vr9nntzde3xq282femsz75rg8qdv55um3adtnqn9qq8nn5v JustBalances Moving now helps send the message to others
