What's the state of censorship on Ethereum?

[Anonymous No.51051443]

I understand that mining pools can refuse to include transactions that involve "tainted" Ether. Is there a workaround? Can one make his own validator node (requires 32 ETH) and just include my own transactions in it? What about L2?

I think the govt fucked themselves by playing their hand too early. They basically outed every party that was desperate to lick the boot, and gave the ETH core devs a heads up that the govt was going to try and push protocol level censorship.
If they had waited 6 months and done a much more multi-pronged attack, it would have had a lot more impact, but just hitting TC and arresting the dev has shown their hand for little benefit.

Just wait until the central banks become the primary stakers.

Eth devs rolled over so fucking fast too. I wonder what options we have. Switch to avax?

the eth community can vote to burn their funds if they censor transactions

Vitalik, Micah et al have come out strongly in favor of slashing censoring parties. I think if anything it's shown who the most easily converted bootlickers are, and it's good to have those people out in the open.

What happened to Ethereum may happen to Avalanche, no?

In theory if you build your own validator node and include your transactions, then you might stand a chance. But even then I'm guessing since validators are randomly chosen, it may take a while for your transaction to be validated? Do you think L2 privacy layer could circumvent protocol layer censorship?

So the Ethereum foundation is in favor of punishing Ethermine? How would that work? Incredibly based.

Yah, every major dev is cycled as far as I’m concerned now. Im a link bag holder so I was expecting this but it still sucks

You people are insane if you think you can circumvent the law while also becoming the global means of exchange. If there are Ethereum validators that choose to allow illegal activity they will be shut down and there's nothing you can do about it. Unless you start running all your nodes from North Korea.

Then what’s the whole point of decentralization?

having your own validator is entirely separate from the transaction pool

God, are we screwed no matter where we turn? I bought BTC 10 years ago on the premise of decentralization. As the years go by everything seems like a dead end unless you practice super opspec or XMR

You can't really shut down Ethereum validator nodes. How? Bitcoin miners can be shut down due to the high energy imprint they leave. You can probably spot them from orbit. But in terms of energy you can't easily find the geographical location of Ethereum nodes.
