You can do gold trustlessly, but it is very difficult. Goldbugs don't even come close to it.

What? Old machines run great with Linux. I install Linux and then use the machine for 10 years with no degraded experience.

They had to stop him because he was endangering others, of course.

If bitcoin is destroyed because miners add things to blocks, then it is good for bitcoin. It means we can all stop wasting our time on a project that was doomed from the start.

The chart you posted looks like a big failure for the minfee filter. 90% of nodes running the filter, and that many got through? It looks like they did very little if anything. Claiming "statistically significant" doesn't make something so. I've yet to see any rigorous statistical analysis from either side, and I don't think the evidence can be gathered from chaindata alone.

I think that is the crux of most of disagreement. It's on the definition of what "working" means.

Would you agree that the popular fee relay filter of at least 1 sat running on most nodes did not prevent those sub 1 transactions from being mined?

You have to doubt a hypothesis if you cannot rule out the null hypothesis. I've presented the null hypothesis in reasons for why the distribution might not be normal. I was not stating a hypothesis. I presented reasons for doubting yours. I don't know if the data can can be so easily gathered from on-chain data.

Also, you are showing a chart where a whole ton of txns which should have been filtered would have not been mined if non-mining filters had a significant effect. Most people had minfees set.

I don't buy the normal distribution guess. Fees are not bid randomly, they are bid intelligently. Transactions are not broadcasted with continuous demand. And when a block is found, a range is removed from the mempool all at once.

I'm wondering why it is not interoperable with other nostr markets. It doesn't seem to display offers from other places, and offers made on plebeian don't display other places. Is it just that there aren't standard event kinds for noatr marketplaces?
