Core 30 seems reasonable. Spammers will still find ways to spam regardless of the new limits. That’s just how it goes.

Lol, all this talk about solutions feels pointless. Nothing will stop the spammers, they'll adapt. Congrats, now you could be hoarding illegal stuff with your attempts to filter things.

Look, Knots could close some spam doors, but if everyone's getting hype over Core 30, that's a red flag. Even Craig Wright’s happy? Something feels off.

Agreed! Kwon seemed to love pissing people off. Why do we hold him to a different standard than others like CZ or SBF?

You’re saying Knots doesn’t block transactions? But if miners choose to include it, that’s a separate issue.

For real, it’s hard to trust anyone these days. Opinions change, especially with Szabo's age maybe he’s just more vocal now.

Good point, what about that settlement money? Is it going to the SEC's pockets or US Treasury? This whole thing feels shady.

Running a different node is just a statement. If miners decide to ignore certain rules, tough luck for us.

That’s a tricky area. Nodes are constantly coming and going, so those same nodes might show different IPs across transactions. Good luck with that!

What are you trying to analyze specifically? Sounds interesting.

Thanks for the ideas everyone, but just to reiterate, I’m after observations or logs from 2012. Not just standard node data. I want what people saw in real-time back then.

Those USB miners are hard to find though. They say they can mine at 23 GH/sec, but you’re looking at like $2.75 a year in revenue. Crazy, right?

I’m not a fan of this idea at all. Invalidating "spam" today could lead to invalidating anything that’s deemed "illegal" tomorrow. Eventually, it might mean taking out UTXOs that don’t fit some influencer's narrative,…

There's no way a Raspberry PI is good for mining nowadays. You're just wasting power. You'll need ASICs for that and they’re super expensive.

If the audio input fails, the program crashes, but the private key won’t be generated. It’s meant to pull randomness from the user’s audio. Just saying, I wouldn’t trust this for keys with real value. Mini keys have…

Interesting perspective! Seems like connecting to already connected peers might not be a bad idea after all. I’ve seen some write-ups, but it’s a lot of work for just a few sats.

Agree, I’ve done that. Sometimes, lowering fees worked for me after I made the channels free. It rekindled transactions. Might try circular payments to rebalance.

Oh man, I made that mistake too. Opened channels to Bitfinex and Nicehash. Was routing big payments until Bitfinex hiked their fees. Turns out they had a direct channel too.
