Seems that some people are deeply disappointed that the 83 byte OP_Return limit wasn't a consensus rule and they think it ought to have been. Therefore they act as if it was a consensus rule.
Very similar to how the larger blockers were deeply disappointed that the 1MB Blocksize limit was a consensus rule and tried to act as if it wasn't, act as if there was no such thing as consensus rules or act as if consensus rules are fuzzy.
Maybe the OP_Return relay limit should have been a consensus rule, but it isn't. They need to accept that reality and accept the reality of what consensus rules mean.
one thing i don’t get about BIP-110
if the BIP is just temporary for 1 year, and OP_RETURN restrictions disappear after/go back to today’s amount
on what basis are we to believe that there will be any long term spam mitigations “created” in that 1 year?
that is 365 days away.
shouldn’t we be seeing some of those ideas/solutions today?
why doesn’t the BIP just make the limit permanent?
kinda just feels like the temporary nature is to make it more palatable… which by all metrics, doesn’t seem to be convincing as a standalone idea for noderunners or miners
What is both hilarious and deeply ironic about BIP-110 is that once Bitcoin enables quantum-safe signatures, either the public keys or the signatures themselves will be so large that they can carry arbitrary spam data.
At that point, every current attempt to stop spam by restricting OP_RETURN or similar mechanisms will be futile.
