What do you mean "completely useless?" Yes a fence won't stop a tank but it will will stop the more common foot traffic. This isn't a hard concept to grasp. Deterrents are not panacea. No one claims "My node filter will stop ALL on chain spam!"
Please stop pretending that is the claim.

2025-05-05 16:38:41

- reply

"Run a node" your node's policy is what tells the miners what transactions are to be added. Spam reduction is from a majority setting limits on data carrier fields.
You can never prevent all spam but you can make it difficult and expensive.
That's what protection means. A fence doesn't mean no trespassers. It means a reduction in trespassers who can't overcome the cost.

As far as I can tell with SafePal, you can use the swap feature after adding Bitcoin as an asset to the main wallet. Tether does not have a mnemonic phrase so, he would have to set one up for his Bitcoin. WRITE IT DOWN.
Then after the USDT is swapped for BTC he can reconstitute that wallet on better more secure software.
Then he can create a new wallet (if the swap wallet is compromised) and transfer to an address HE owns.
If he wants secure self-custody guidance. Soundmoneysolutions.io can help him set up all the things he needs as well as the education to not get rugged. Good luck man.

Censorship is inherent to every node. If not explicit, the hardware limitation itself censors transactions.
It feels like the conflation of censorship resistance and personal sovereignty is being done in bad faith.
Rational people understand that you don't have to accept someone insulting you in your home because that space is yours to do with as you wish. That limitation IS censorship.
It is not the same as censorship as way of permission. The network is resistant to centralization of permission, not that permission doesn't exist on an individual's node.

Because Bitcoin is not a distributed data storage service. It is a monetary network for monetary transactions. Paying a fake key IS a financial transaction at the end of the day. If I pay a shell company for items that I never receive I still paid it.
Preventing spam is not the point anyway, it is this strange reframing of "We are taking away a config option which gives you more freedom"
This is blatantly false and could only serve to make spam easier to do. That is the contention, nothing else.
I don't care if spam actually increases or decreases. I want people to FREELY choose to enable spam or disable it. Everything else is sophistry.

And as I have stated on many other threads on this topic, a consensus has a definition that I am using. If I meant <consensus/consensus>, <consensus/amount>, or <consensus/amount> I would have said that.
As for the cost, yes it does. If the only way to propagate spam was to have a sidechannel to a miner that is socially coslty, technically costly, and still block weight costly.
If every peer you connect to rejects your transactions as invalid by not keeping it in their mempool, that make it a time and opportunity cost as well.
This always smack of the little girl throwing fish back into the ocean that washed ashore. She'll never be able to save them all but that's not the point. The ones she did save are grateful. Never tell anyone that doing what they believe has "little point" because it alone doesn't fix the problem. It is the agregate actions of many that do.

- reply

It's so funny I feel like we are saying the same thing at different times.
My point is that if I run code that I agree with my mempool doesn't propagate things I consider to be spam. I have no illusions that if a miner mines a valid block with transactions I dislike, I will still have to store that block in my UTXO set. But the choice of not propagating trash is what is up for debate here not the bounds of a valid transaction in the block.

Disagree.

2025-05-01 17:55:50

- reply

That is already the case with node mempools, no? My mempool doesn't accept over 80 bytes in OP_RETURN data. Other peers do. My node finds those transactions invalid.
The implementation that has a bug is the same as a Core node that accepts 400k bytes of data in a trasaction to my node.

2025-05-01 16:14:13

- reply

You are misunderstanding consensus in this context. Consensus is not something that will "still be in my blockchain data and utxo set" the nodes dictate valid. Miners offer candidates based on the CONSENSUS of the nodes they pull the previous transaction blocks from. Which is determined by the CONFIGURED ruleset.

Well, when I sell my services there's a surcharge for having me convert fiat into real money. First the credit processing fee then another 2-3% to cover the conversion spread on the exchange I convert to bitcoin on. So, let's say I charge around 5.2 million sats, it would be equivalent to 260,000 extra sats and I convert the price from there.

Lol, the comment about majority precludes mention about the exception case you cited. So, yeah, I get that that 1 guy is an exception.
Secondly, it is absolutely forced association strictly BECAUSE of the forced sharing of public property. That's kinda my whole point. I don't believe in public property but because it is forced upon me I have to care about my associations due to it.

So, if I say "Hey, I made art, pay me money if you like it." It's not that you're wrong, it's that you come off as desperate. You don't need to tell people to pay you if they want to do it.
I don't personally care if you come off as desperate, I was just acknowledging how that sounds.
As far as "likes" go reactions are a way of gauging what the passive observer feels when seeing your post. Not useless, but simple information. It isn't a substitute for a zap or quote but I don't think it claimed to be.

Maybe I am getting confused here but I read his post as the arbitrary data being accepted as valid transactions then validated by nodes. Core accepting these as valid, correct?

Yeah, that's his point. You literally describe what "arbitrary" means to those two implementations. And arbitrary is literally when you do something by whim or impulse and not with necessity or priciple.
Writing "Nic sucks" on a dollar bill is arbitrary data that degrades the financial integrity of the bill and makes an arbitrary statement not for the purpose of a financial transaction. Writing that is leveraging the monetary value of the bill to force others to read your message. Do you see?

It is fungible, not sure why you think it isn't. If you are talking about tracking, that is not inverse to fungibility. Bitcoin is exchangeable and interchangeable so, that's that.
Scaling of money happens in layers, coupons and credit.
-Coupons through lightning or ZK proofed mints.
-Credit using likely some "Side-chain" that has a liquidity pool that can be lent with the possibility of collateralization.
Ideally the scaling layers have a trustless model and maintain their unilateral exchange while maintaing an absolute peg to the main Bitcoin chain.
