And a royalty payment is deducted from my balance. And it's more expensive than anything else I did with ppq? Maybe add a price label to that play button as it should be very predictable. So I tried if I can use that so my 5yo daughter can "ask the bot" but there's several things missing for that. On the phone, the relevant buttons are off screen and 's Spanish sucks!

I think that if Luke and others can see it that way, politicians might parrot the sentiment in defense of laws against Bitcoin. Politicians only need majorities and Luke's arguments did move the needle among Bitcoiners or we wouldn't have this debate.

I think, Luke argues that by defining how to store arbitrary data, a precedence is made that Bitcoin is for arbitrary data storage, making all other arbitrary data problematic, too. OP_RETURN was for hashes and then for hashes plus some meta data. With 100kB it's not meta data or hashes anymore. The problem won't be that you have this and that sequence of bytes on your machine but that you are using Bitcoin period.

I suspect sarcasm but anyway ... My comment is not only about judges but also about politicians and explicitly not about people caring about what is just and good for the people but about those who want to attack Bitcoin on the one hand and on the other hand the cost of both not deprecating a long established policy setting and setting the default to 160B instead of 100kB. I think, the cost of limiting OP_RETURN to 160B for the foreseeable future is almost zero. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe the centralization from big OP_RETURNs not getting relayed is bigger than I thought. But given that very tiny cost, the very tiny potential for legal ramifications makes it just not worth it and the drama and noise Core went through to still go along with deprecation+100kB over 160B just feels off. That said, appeasement is a slippery slope, too. If drama on social media can influence engineers to opt for more centralization then we might be on the way to getting Bitcoin captured by politicians. So I'm not arguing for or against either side but I think it's not just Luke who cares about that nuance. So to answer your list of examples: - Using Bitcoin - a protocol that as of 2025 is designed for arbitrary data distribution: jail! And again, I assume "using bitcoin -> jail" is reality in some jurisdictions already and we have to assume it will come to more jurisdictions either way. Having less CSAM in less readable formats on the chain might marginally help slow this trend while limiting OP_RETURN to 160B is a trivial burden thus I lean towards 160B limits over 100kB limits but more importantly I give it to knots proponents to see it just like that and don't want to discount their conviction as some Luke-cult thing.

But you discount "the movement" as being all stupid followers of its leader. We very recently observed the shift to this "sanctioned data" stance and you had commented on a stream where Mechanic learned about that but I think it's not mere semantics. A legal attack on Bitcoin could argue on this distinction when determining if a benign protocol is being abused or complicit in the spread of "illegal data". In a world where judges cared only about what is right, we wouldn't have to worry but Bitcoin is under attack in 200 jurisdictions and if this provides half an argument for some of those to put users closer to jail, it would be bad or at least way worse for bitcoin than having to keep maintaining 20 lines of code and a 160B default datacarriersize.

Politicians that solve problems would get elected. It's more complicated than that.

Trying to figure out how works ... I had an ad open since a year or so and now somebody contacted me on it. Our "common friend" is the mailbox number. WTH? Might this and maybe other numbers be worthy of black-listing for the purpose of friend-of-a-friend estimates? Also, as a beginner I did not understand that this was the most important information I should have looked for given my ad was limited to "friends of friends". Maybe that "common friend" should be zero clicks away, not one?

*Any* camera I see, I assume streams to "the cloud" as 99% do and there is nothing but promises to the owner of the cam but how would others know where that data goes? I bought cams that I didn't end up installing as it was too cumbersome to make sure the data stays on premise.
