Increase to 256 bytes.

This distracts from the actual problem of P2MS spam. No one sane will give up their 4x discount, and those intentionally polluting the UTXO set won’t stop because OP_RETURN. That is the entire goal. UTXO set pollution.

Higher but reasonable limits allow developers to put data that is actually useful such as Silent Payments in future protocols, and incentivize small data storage (small OPRET < small inscription which also takes up more block space) to be efficient when it happens

Unfortunately there’s a lot of sheep here that follow their favorite flavor of shitfluencer that wants to use them for personal gain.

Semi what do you think of unlimited witness data?

To be fair lots of sheep on both sides....

I had the same thought semi, not for the same reasons obviously. Like why is it just open flood gates, if this change can be implemented without a soft fork since it's just 'mempool policy' why can't it be mended again if an attempt to mitigate more arbitrary data doesn't work out.

'4x discount' youre talking segwit right?

Yes

OP_R only has a benefit above SegWit at <512 bytes or so. Otherwise they will keep polluting the UTXO set with stamps the same reason they did even while SegWit exists. And also the SegWit discount is appealing to people that don’t want to pollute

So it’s just a giant distraction not unlike politics
