No doubt, but for some reason in code-land people think they can do whatever the code allows.

Perfect example: There's been exploitable bugs in my code in the past, which sometimes is left to fester on purpose as a honey pot to see if bad actors are out and active. Just about EVERY time, good people have told us of the bugs or hacks. This is what's expected— of decent people anyway— the majority.

Again, imagine a bad actor screwing buyers in the oil markets. This would last about 2 seconds before the exchange shut itself down. Why should it be any different in a distributed system? The bad actor would be brought up on theft charges if he didn't admit or explain the error.

The current "miner" isn't talking to anyone or responding to requests, and just being a dick in general. So the law is an excellent solution in this case. YET, people in BSV will complain about it, as if the bitcoin network or Craig is at fault for rooting-out crooks. STRANGE.

People need to start realizing, before web3 happens, that the cyber/internet world isn't some magical place where you can do crime because anonymous and because the code allows it. Even in cryptocurrency world, this isn't happening, even from the beginning days. Does anyone seriously think that if the Mt Gox hacker was revealed (likely an inside job) that he wouldn't be prosecuted in Japan or any other half-decent country? People are responsible for their actions whether live or Memorex.

Also remember, IMPORTANT: EVERY court case begins with the would-be-plaintiff writing to the defendant for mediation, explanation, cease/desist, and remedial actions (paying back coifed funds, for inst.). This part of the process, in Christianity is called "forgiveness" which must be asked or it isn't granted. It's the same in law. The lawsuit isn't even accepted until this process occurs. In Wright vs Granath, Wright had to send remedial actions to Granath FIRST.
The miner clowns aren't asking for forgiveness or admitting error, they're just scoundrels messing with the system bc they truly think "Code is Law", but worse bc they are hiding so they KNOW they are criminally acting. So CSW/BA is going to resort to law— what else would they do? What? Because it's not a lot of money, let them get away with messing up the whole network by not following the rules.

What's TRULY sad, is people within BSV take the side of the loser-degenerates who are morally bankrupt, simply bc the code allows it?
SO STRANGE.

Same issue with zero-satoshi-inputs. Not only is it a lazy and cheap idea, but from my point of view it sabotages the entire system and will eventually render it worthless. That's dumb. It's like taking a shit in one's own living room. Yet, to save $0.001 some dooshrocket will run around claiming CSW or BA or Calvin screwed them, when they are upsetting the entire network. Why? Because some wrinkle in the code allowed it.

The bitcoin code is not written in stone, it never was, and it NEVER will be. You can mine or interact in bitcoin without it, so that should prove how important the code is. Version 0.1 is a guideline or goal, it's not actually possible. What's written in stone is the PROTOCOL. Aka, the rules. BIG difference.
