Just cause your so dumb, I just had to point this out...

- IsStandard() check to only include known transaction types in blocks

This is what your talking about right? He is talking about the Scripting in the blockchain

Your so stupid, don't even comment anymore, cause your points are invalid because you find one thing you think is aligned with your views, and it isn't.

Stupid people don't comment in this thread anymore, so far that is scintill cause he can't research.

I know exactly what it is. You have got to be kidding me. So, certain transactions used to be possible, then Satoshi banned them. Today, certain other transactions are possible, the developers are banning them in exactly the same way. It's "censorship" exactly how you say today's is. If you can't see that, you either don't understand what bitcoin Scripts do, or you're just hero-worshiping Satoshi and carrying a grudge against the current developers. I mean, this is so blindingly obvious to me I can't fathom how you can possibly contort your logic to gloss over this. I will try to explain it though.

You act like sending any amount you want (as long as it's 0.00000001 BTC or more, the One True Quantum Value blessed by the Hand of Satoshi), is some basic human right, but the ability to write any script you want is not. One might say about restricting the possible scripts:

It is censorship, it is controlling how I spend my hard earn money.

Those scripts also govern how you may spend your hard earned money. Because of Satoshi's censorship, you have fewer ways to spend your money than you did before. How can you not see the inconsistency in your positions?

I'm aware Script is pretty crappy and not very powerful, and the current standard transaction types support most of the things the average person reasonably wants to do. Satoshi discouraged the use of full Script because the average person doesn't need it, and supporting it risks making the network weaker -- that's exactly the reason why tiny values are being discontinued! Complain about value restriction if you want, but it seems completely hypocritical to accept Script censorship in the same breath.

P.S. If Script had not been crippled early on, maybe it would have been extended and be useful today. I guess we'll never know, since power-hungry, greedy, corporate-owned Satoshi decided to flex his muscle and show us how he can take away our control over our money! (sarcasm, but using the same terms people are using to describe the modern developers and this change)
