This is why we stopped mining namecoin a decade ago

Liar

Nothing immoral about this law

Almost all nodes that matter have to comply with the law

Using BitTorrent to transfer CSAM will land you in jail. That's just more reason to be concerned

Hence it's not enough to just use Knots yourself, but the network as a whole must reject Core 30

For years, there has been FUD that Bitcoin's blockchain could be criminalised by storing CSAM on it. For years, the answer has always been that Bitcoin doesn't support data storage, and the offending content is not the blockchain itself, but the additional software used to transform the blockchain into CSAM. By sanctioning data storage, Core 30 is eliminating that argument. There will no longer be any additional software required, your Bitcoin node itself will provide CSAM on demand, using a well-defined and officially supported format. The very reason "CSAM on the chain" was FUD, is being _destroyed_ by Core 30. They are making it a _true_ accusation. No amount of obfuscation will change this fact. This is not the _only_ reason to reject Core 30. But even if it was, it would _still_ be strong reason to do so.

Now for the purely hypothetical: this is only one step away from also displaying the transaction to the recipient, tricking him into thinking he received it. The only thing standing in the way of this on the receiver end is if he is using his own full node! What happens on a Bitcoin standard, if 80% of the merchants aren't using full nodes and are tricked into accepting fake payments like this?

PSA: There is a supply chain attack on Bitcoin wallets going on. HARDWARE WALLETS AND SIGNAL MAY BE AFFECTED. READ FURTHER. I have not studied the full scope of this attack yet, but from what I hear, it can impact websites/webapps (including "local" webapps like Signal Desktop) and cause them to display a thief's address instead of the intended one. This means hardware wallets will correctly display the actual send-to address, but you the human may compare the address to one that has already been replaced! Regardless of what wallet you use, verify the address you are sending to without trusting a computer. Call your recipient and verify verbally.

This post is about the next decade or two, not the next 24 hours. Core and Bitcoin cannot both continue to exist.

Define "rollups".
