According to @Andre_Dragosch, Bitcoin Core has undeprecated the datacarrier and datacarriersize configuration options, restoring node-operator control over relaying data-carrying transactions via local policy, source: @Andre_Dragosch on X. Traders can monitor BTC fee rates, mempool size, and blockspace usage following this node-policy update to optimize execution timing and costs, source: @Andre_Dragosch on X.

According to @BitMEXResearch, the post amplifies Eric Lombrozo’s view that using filters as a social signal on your own Bitcoin node is acceptable, while pushing back on efforts to impose such filters on others. Source: @BitMEXResearch on X (Sep 30, 2025); Eric Lombrozo on X. For traders, this reflects active governance discourse around node-level filtering and censorship norms in Bitcoin, making BTC decentralization narrative and sentiment an area to monitor.

According to @BitMEXResearch, Bitcoin development should be evaluated on a centuries-long timeline and node developers should not play whack-a-mole with spammers, signaling a conservative approach to protocol and policy changes that traders should incorporate into risk management, source: @BitMEXResearch. According to @BitMEXResearch, market participants should not expect rapid rule tweaks aimed at spam mitigation and should instead time BTC transfers and settlements around fee market and mempool conditions, source: @BitMEXResearch. According to @BitMEXResearch, the emphasis on long-term incentives and inevitabilities prioritizes the native fee market to ration blockspace, so execution plans should account for on-chain fee volatility rather than assuming quick protocol-level relief, source: @BitMEXResearch.

According to @adam3us, Luke Dashjr and the Knots client plan to implement censorship technology directly, skipping the slippery slope steps he and @csuwildcat had warned about using legal citations from prior internet cases (source: @adam3us). He characterizes the Knots plan as adopting censorship tech immediately and grounds his warning in prior internet legal precedent he referenced (source: @adam3us).

According to @BitMEXResearch, they clarified that they are not alleging the new business idea referenced by Bob would engage in transaction censorship, addressing confusion from a prior post; source: BitMEX Research on X, Sep 20, 2025, x.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1969464566418382977 and x.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1969009980591206538. According to @BitMEXResearch, the new business Bob alluded to may benefit from a weaker Bitcoin P2P transaction relay network; source: BitMEX Research on X, Sep 20, 2025, x.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1969464566418382977. According to @BitMEXResearch, there is a campaign to push relay nodes toward a tighter policy than transactions that are regularly mined, and if highly successful this could weaken the transaction relay network; source: BitMEX Research on X, Sep 20, 2025, x.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1969464566418382977. According to @BitMEXResearch, OCEAN, where Bob is a board member, is part of that campaign, though OCEAN could also do positive things such that its net impact could be positive; source: BitMEX Research on X, Sep 20, 2025, x.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1969464566418382977.

According to @adam3us, node policy no longer has the same nudge effect on transaction propagation as it once did due to the evolution of libre relay and preferential peering, reducing the leverage of default node policies over miner-facing pathways. Source: Adam Back on X, Sep 11, 2025 According to @adam3us, efforts to tighten node-level cohesion have limited effect and, if temporarily effective, may backfire by encouraging pools to adopt direct pool APIs and private peering, further bypassing public policy controls. Source: Adam Back on X, Sep 11, 2025 According to @adam3us, traders should recognize this tilt toward private, policy-resistant propagation channels when assessing Bitcoin network assumptions around transaction relay and miner connectivity.
