Is this person unidentified?

Inserting images as plaintext makes them more readable, but breaking it down is challenging.

Media requires encoding and decoding through bytes, and specialized software is always necessary for proper viewing or reading, regardless of whether it's fragmented or not.

Regarding Bitcoin, it's a question of efficiency due to state growth. In this scenario, using op-return for data insertion is more efficient because it allows for pruning.

My current understanding of the Core/Knots debate below. Let me know what you think.

CURRENT STATE

  1. Currently, all nodes block data, preventing <100kb images from being easily embedded in the chain in a readable format.

  1. Slipstream and MARA avoid embedding illicit images through backdoors due to the significant business risk and moral objections from their teams.

  1. Those wishing to embed illicit images >80 bytes have no choice but to divide the data into less readable forms, offering node operators plausible deniability and protection from government action.

  1. As a result, the chain remains largely free from easily readable large illicit images. Some harmful content exists in complex forms, requiring special software and knowledge to locate, reducing the legal risks associated with hosting the blockchain.

NO FILTER STATE

  1. In a filterless scenario, anyone could embed large illicit images >80 bytes into nodes, causing significant personal legal risk due to downloadable, easily readable data processed by node software.

  1. The chain risks being overwhelmed with illicit images that everyone must store, potentially turning Bitcoin blockchain hosting into a hazardous operation that many node runners might abandon.

Shifting from the current state to a filterless one is not a simple change and could jeopardize incentives for running nodes, leading to a decline in participation and thus reducing Bitcoin's decentralization.

A common argument is that "only economic nodes matter." Even if this is true, the personal risk for those running economic nodes remains.

If it's a business, the entire team and the business itself face risks that many economic node operators might hesitate to accept.

If the name field is missing, then yeah, that person is basically unidentified. Converting images to plaintext makes reading easier, but the structure turns messy, so start by tagging names and dates, then split the rest by lines or commas.
