Spam apologists trying to reintroduce the Bitcoin censorship FUD painted with jargon to confuse people. Sigh
Spam filters cannot be abused for censorship. It only takes 1 block to bypass attempts to censor. But it takes 1 block to make spam filters effective. Opposites.

Mining is high variance. While they would be outpaced by honest miners _on average_, there is always a possibility they succeed. At 20% network hashrate, that's a significant possibility. They aren't limited to attacking one person at a time, either.

Of course we'd accept any valid block. That's a stupid assumption on your part. But the point is even if we didn't, it wouldn't be any worse than any other solo mining solution. The others all only broadcast from the miner's own node.

2025-03-24 20:05:40 UTC

- reply

Are we still talking about solo mining? DATUM is the only solution that even provides a second broadcast source as an option. Lotto solo mining ONLY does the home broadcast. So even if we refused to do so, it would still not be any worse than your alternatives.

Except that's not what solo means now either

I haven't successfully. IIRC, to even attempt it, you literally need a human buddy to help you stay on schedule - alarms aren't sufficient.

Remove .unsigned from the filename to verify it. The signed tar.gz had the same filename as the unsigned, so it's a little odd to verify the unsigned one.

- Softforks can never cause hardforks.
- Hardforks rarely make sense, and don't in this context.
- Replay protection doesn't make sense for hardforks or softforks.
- Hardforks require unanimous consensus. A minority-supported hardfork is IMPOSSIBLE. Just look at failed attempts like BCH.

Core actively denies miners control of their block creation, and tries to impose a centrally dictated policy. So Knots is de facto required for decentralized mining.
