"but they can also choose to signal (or not) for BIP-110 in the templates the create That is called "false flagging" and is an attack on BIP-110 The flag is supposed to indicate the miner is ready to enforce BIP-110 rules it is not a political voting ystem. You are making the same mistake as the large blockers in [----] who used false or fake flags What Ocean could do instead is add an option to put the text "I support BIP-110" in the coinbase input script (Ocean probably already supports that). That is a way to express an opinion The activation flags are not meant for that."

"MicroStrategys Premium We did the Ponzi Maths $MSTR has a market capitalisation of over $100 billion and trades at a giant premium to the value of its Bitcoin holdings around 256% on a fully diluted basis. This premium is insane perhaps in part driven by some financial regulators banning people from buying Bitcoin ETFs.

"that I am pro the best solution that makes a firm stand against the uncapping of op_return If one has a few old laptops lying around it costs around $200 a year for one person to run the infrastructure to effectively uncap the OP_Return relay limit. Having an objective to stop that from happening is almost lunacy. You would have to be really really nice to a lot of people and get down on your knees and beg them not to relay things. I really hope you don't try to do this. Your efforts will be wasted. I don't think it's a cyberpunk approach either. Cyberpunks don't go around begging people."

"This if very widespread could even if just a little bit. That will contribute to mining centralisation. Remember a large miner/pool doesn't need to propagate a block to themselves. A miner/pool with a 20% market share only needs to propagate to the remaining 80%. A miner with a 1% share needs to propagate to 99%. This is why we don't want propagation costs to "come into play" Again this was a large blocker argument from [----] to [----] and debated endlessly. The large blockers view here articulated by Peter Rizun for example was that we don't need a blocksize limit and larger propagation costs"

"We can follow the same to apply filters. What is the asymmetry If you are talking about filters it's very hard to suppress information in a p2p network on the internet. The advantage is clearly with those broadcasting information and those wishing to hide information clearly have the disadvantage. The spammers can just broadcast the information themselves. This is incredibly asymmetric. Once people are determined to broadcast that information they will win the battle. You do not have to relay the spam yourself but to expect the spammers won't be able to broadcast the spam if determined is"
