Are you saying that all miners are blacklisting addresses? That's news to me and I'm sure other bitcoiners as well.
Blacklisting is by definition about
people, and no miner has ever attempted that to my knowledge.
Addresses are not people, and do not even exist in the Bitcoin protocol. Instead, they are converted into scripts.
Bitcoin Core has filtered what scripts it will relay or mine since Satoshi Nakamoto himself added filtering in 0.3.18 (2010 Dec 8th).
To disable this, you must use (or rewrite)
patches that I have maintained
almost as long as I have been involved in Bitcoin.
As far as I know, however, not a single miner is currently mining without any script filtering whatsoever.
Eligius is treating certain inputs differently then other inputs. Plain and simple. They are saying that Bitcoin owned by one entity is not allowed to have their transactions confirmed by their found blocks.
This is not the first time that eligius (via Luke-jr) has done something similar to harm Bitcoin. Gambling sites were previously blacklisted by default by mining software when this was pretty clearly not a wanted "feature" of such software. In other words the software did things that its users did not want. This is how a lot of people describe malware.
This is 100% false/FUD/lies.
Luke - it's important to remember when any of your regular lies, can be easily shown to be lies, and thus it's a bad idea to post those lies publicly.
If you can't even remember what you said 5 minutes ago, you need check your facts about yourself before you post about something in the past
When you write code to
Blacklist something and even in the code, you call it a
Blacklist, it's rather bazaar that you'd then go and say it isn't a
Blacklist. Even worse, you added this code on by default in gentoo bitcoin so that anyone who didn't disable your
Blacklist, got it.
Current code:
https://github.com/luke-jr/bitcoin/blob/0.10.x-ljrP/src/main.cpp#L943Note that the name was originally
BlacklistedPrefixes:
https://github.com/luke-jr/bitcoin/blob/19cc5c03a0448f8c88cc81538bf3e54594867e5e/src/script.cpp#L1834static struct BlacklistEntry BlacklistedPrefixes[] = {
{0x06f1b600, 0x06f1b6ff, "SatoshiDice"},
{0x74db3700, 0x74db59ff, "BetCoin Dice"},
{0xc4c5d791, 0xc4c5d791, "CHBS"}, // 1JwSSubhmg6iPtRjtyqhUYYH7bZg3Lfy1T
{0x434e5452, 0x434e5452, "Counterparty"},
{0x069532d8, 0x069532da, "SatoshiBones"},
{0xda5dde84, 0xda5dde94, "Lucky Bit"},
};
Of course you can (yet again) say that dictionaries are wrong and you are right, but even the Oxford dictionary says your definition is wrong:
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/american_english/blacklist"Person" or "Product"
( By "Yet again" I am referring to:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1369274 )
While you are at it, don't forget to tell the real bitcoin devs that their use of the term
Blacklist in the code is wrong
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/qt/paymentserver.cpp#L163// Blacklisted certificate
if (cert.isBlacklisted()) {
ReportInvalidCertificate(cert);
continue;
}
So I take it since a "certificate" isn't a "person" then that code is wrong in main bitcoin
You like playing word games to pretend you aren't doing what people say you are doing, due to some technicality (that is also false)
Here's an example of how I'd expect you'd get out of murdering someone:
Luke:
"Your honour, I didn't shoot him to death, which is the charge levelled against me, thus I am not guilty of murder.
You see, what happened was, a bullet from the gun I had in my possessions left the barrel of the gun and pierced his body, but he was still alive.
When I pushed him, staggering, off the cliff, the entire fall to the ground far below, he was still alive, thus the bullet didn't kill him, it was the rocks below that killed him.
Thus I am not guilty of murder."
It's funny to see wizkid play these same games of yours also ...
Palpatine, you are training your padawan well ...
