Transactions fees are the only way to filter what you call “spam”. Here’s Andreas Antonop. explaining how implementing filters creates what he calls a “dictatorship of developers”. Everyone knew this all along, up until yesterday.

The original 2009 Satoshi Times on display at the Lugano Plan ₿ forum Why is Lugano Plan ₿ supporting arbitrary spam data on the blockchain? Paolo Ardoino 🤖

These advisories are now available. Since the pre-announcement, one of the advisories was upgraded from low, to medium severity, meaning today there are only 4 disclosures. You can find all the details here: bitcoincore.org/en/security-ad…

Lugano just had its very first Bitdev ever! Packed room and some exceptional guests! Thanks Vincenzo Palazzo tiero 👾 for organizing!

Done with a decade old script that doesn't even use segwit, let alone taproot. 100% standard and fully compatible with Luke Dashjr's BIP-444.

Udi Wertheimer > you gotta get people excited about something positive, instead of getting people excited about hating filters There is a lot of uplifting positive stuff related to the failure of incentive incompatible filters For one, it illustrates the power of individual node runners. Only
