  "content": "\"Filters don't work, but they send a message\"\n\nThe default filters became harmful - not \"ineffective\" - over the summer of 2025. They harmed the small miners. Are you aware of this, and are you happy to harm small miners because you'd prefer to \"send a (meaningless) message?\n\nMonths before Core30 was released, many folks (including me) configured our nodes to accept large op-returns.\n\nTherefore, Core didn't remove any limit on what could be relayed and mined on the Bitcoin Network. The Bitcoin Network had already made its own autonomous decision, months before Core30 was released, to allow this. We didn't wait for permission from Core or Knots to do this. We didn't wait for \"technical consensus\"\n\nIn that context, the default policy in Core had only one effect: harming small miners, by making it difficult for them to earn fees\n\nThe heroes and winners of this are the Tolerant Minority. We take action to help small miners, and we take action to keep fake pubkeys out of the UTXO. We are successful and unstoppable, and we don't care about your \"message\"\n\n----\n\nLuke is smart enough to know all this. He has told dozens of lies, deliberately fooling people. He knows that the effect of his policies is harmful to Bitcoin",
