After a detailed examination of the situation the author is proposing Bitcoin Cash as a solution to this type of issue. The UTXO model is far superior in terms of security over ETH's account based model.

Yes, very much so. The community has been shipping amazing upgrades the past few years. You do not hear much about it because the majority of influencers and promoters are busy shilling corporate projects and getting paid, but Bitcoin Cash is a decentralized community run project so it does not shell out millions for promotions.

BCH is set to dominate in the coming years as it is the chain with advanced features and world scale capability. Plus it has the Bitcoin brand since it is actually the real Bitcoin.

The cypherpunk dream is still alive in Bitcoin it is now just called Bitcoin Cash, the blockchain that can scale to world level adoption.

BTC is actually very weak, with only a capacity of 7 transactions per seconds it has become a Ponzi style scheme. It is not really usable for anything. Number goes up because the majority has not yet figured this out, the music will stop eventually.

Bitcoin Cash on the other hand is actively working to become money for the world with endless functionality, all with tiny fees and massive scale capability.

Would be awesome if Freetube could automatically check if the video exists on Odysee and play it from there if YT copy is unavailable or blocked.

It is best to learn how to store your own crypto, never leave it on an exchange.

For Bitcoin Cash the most secure way is to use Electron Cash wallet on a Linux PC. Then you can top up your mobile wallet as needed for spending.

OK, thanks for the extra info, would have a been a good idea to include this in the post from the start.

You should consider bringing your tokens over to Bitcoin Cash for more exposure. https://tapswap.cash/

The Monero Research Lab (MRL) has decided to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list

I was under the impression that there was a network attack going on which was disrupting node operations, as has had happened in the past and that is why this post was created.

My point is the nodes should be able to dynamically determine if misadjusted or allegedly misbehaving nodes are present and block/ignore those automatically without needing to apply a ban-list from a centralized authority. This is a long standing issue and measures in the protocol should be able to govern this, since it has not happened it appears that this is a fundamental flaw that cannot be addressed and instead a ban-list is the only solution.

My question is what is preventing this from being properly addressed so applying a centralized ban list is not necessary? Is it a whack-a-mole situation where attackers will just tweak some other parameters and get around any detection?

Shouldn't the node network be able to automatically ban offending peers without needing a centralized ban list? Can you explain where my understanding falls short?

Needing to use a ban list is indicative of broken node software. This flaw has existed in Monero for a long time, is it a fundamental issue that will never be addressed?
