@Hyolobrika If people are paying for it and miners are accepting it then Adam Back has no authority to try and censor them. I do think on-chain NFTs and other data is pretty dumb, but there is a market for it, and that’s why I primarily use a chain designed specifically for normal, cash-like transactions, not "smart contract" shit.
Still doesn’t disprove anything I said, that Adam Back & Co. are advocating for censorship.
@Hyolobrika That depends on how many are being created, but my point is that that issue is not exclusive to Ordinals. Right now it has virtually no effect.
In the case of Binance, they sent so many consolidation transactions with a flat 200,000 sat fee each, that the mempool filled up completely and it created an artificial fee floor of ~14 sat/byte for everyone (anything under that would not be relayed by most nodes as the min relay fee was ~14 sat/byte).
@cjd@Hyolobrika Here is Satoshi giving instructions on how to increase the block size in the future via hard-fork, since the 1MB limit was supposed to be temporary (the original hard limit was 32MB with 1MB soft limit if I recall correctly, but it was removed early on since the network was still new) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.msg15366#msg15366
@Hyolobrika@cjd Like I said, Bitcoin has become corrupted since then, around the time Blockstream was founded and funded by big banks and members of the Bilderberg Group (2013/2014). Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has already demonstrated that 256MB blocks are possible (on their Scalenet testnet), even with a Raspberry Pi node.
@cjd@Hyolobrika I do use BCH occasionally. Used to be more into it, but the community and its direction have gone more for DeFi bullshit than privacy and cash shit, so I just left for XMR.
BCH doesn't have more traction though due to Blockstream propaganda and their "Bcash" narrative and censorship (of which Theymos and several other mods have admitted to doing for /r/bitcoin and bitcointalk and such.)
@cjd@Hyolobrika I haven't even gotten into how Theymos/Blockstream stole 6000 BTC from the community via the "new forum" fundraising for bitcointalk OVER 10 years ago, with no new forum still (funneled to Blockstream via Slickage LLC, a no-name web dev studio connected to Warren Togami, a Blockstream employee), or how Peter Todd was paid by a self-proclaimed government intelligence agent to implement RBF and create small-block propaganda videos: https://il.ax/watch?v=cZp7UGgBR0I
