8chan deliberately set itself up such that it's impossible to do anything beyond an IP ban. This was a conscious choice they made, and that doesn't mean they get a pass on failure to enforce rules as a result.


How about Bitcoin? Does it get a pass for distributing CP? (Since IIRC there's some embedded in the blockchain)


How would you embed CP in the Bitcoin blockchain?


By making a transaction (or series of transactions) that happen to have a binary representation (or destination address, or comment, or...) that decodes to CP - the same way that you'd store any other arbitrary data there.
