is a network “defined by its users,” and that its core participants “are in no position” to set what software or policies they want. It comes amid an ongoing debate over spam inscriptions on the Bitcoin network.

“The freedom to run any software is the network’s fundamental defense against coercion,” it added.

While many Bitcoiners supported the upgrade with an “ACK,” others objected.

JAN3 CEO Samson Mow criticized the tone of the letter later in the day. He said, “It’s disingenuous to simply say ‘this is what it is now, which is unfortunate.’” “Bitcoin Core developers have been gradually changing the network to allow spam, and now seem focused on removing barriers to spammers as well,” Mow said.  “That statement itself is also inappropriate,” he added.

However, Casa founder Jameson Lopp defended the letter. Lopp said, “Core developers are a group that says we can’t force anyone to run code they don’t like; here are our thoughts on relay policy and network health.”
