Who decides what is spam and which transactions are allowed?
Discussion
We each decide foe ourselves by choosing a node software and picking filters we want, right?
THE. MINERS.
Why not use a fixed supply, fair-launched, POW with a block speed of 10 bps to transact anything other than your stores of value? It’s like we can have our cake and eat it too kinda thing…
Ordinals are literally bitcoin UTXOs to which you assign a different meaning at the human layer. Bitcoin doesn’t know or care how/why people use them.
Yes, but there’s a disagreement in Bitcoin consensus if this should be, correct?
almost nobody who dislikes ordinals is proposing making them invalid in consensus. they are proposing placebo filters that don't actually block ordinals. the anti-ordinals crowd is deathly afraid of soft and hard forks.
