Sure. One way of doing that is adjusting the permissionless p2p software to reduce the threat.

And remember I'm asking why Livera's statement above is wrong. I am not asking anything else.

Not all of it. But you not willing to type out a single sentence makes me think you don't have an answer. Care to prove me wrong?

Don't we all agree that the law fair imposed on tornado cash developers and samurai developers is a travesty? And it's that kind of power you're assuming won't be leveraged against CSAM on a node? If software developers are at risk what makes you think that node runners aren't?

I don't know what the percentage is. But it seems to me that if 80% of nodes will accept non-BIP444 blocks then why would miners care about the 20% of nodes that reject those blocks?

Wow. That's quite a leap. I have not argued for the spam chain. I run Knots. I think that a soft fork is probably a good idea. But I still don't see how only 20% of us can force miners to mine blocks that follow BIP444 if 80% of the nodes will accept non-BIP444 blocks The UASF during the block size wars is a little more complex than the fact that few nodes signaled support. It was supported by exchanges and waller providers. And that amount of support is what forced the miners to capitulate. Do we have that level of support for this soft fork?

It takes a 58 minute video, not made by you, to answer what you think is wrong in 's 29 word statement? I'm happy to agree that busting open OP_RETURN is stupid. I'm running knots. But I still do not see what is wrong with what Livera said.

Re: a soft fork, I have posted a question on Matthew Kratter's videos: if we only have 20% of node runners switching to knots why do you think we have sufficient consensus to force the miners to mine the soft fork blocks? https://fountain.fm/episode/WOslYaeXHkGPni8BznUK

What part of that quote is wrong?

Re video, it's great when there are visuals that help convey information. But as soon as people do that the audio version suffers and I tend to switch to the video version only. Is there some way to stream sats while watching the link to the video feed? https://fountain.fm/episode/NJ9Vr8mMPTAt9Q7GUgCb

Really great conversation! https://fountain.fm/episode/rP3NzJ1DwFx4mL0QJUDu
