Yes I used “ordinals” but meant inscriptions. People use them interchangeably so often on the bird app that it got stuck.

And yes I’m perfectly aware of the cost to nodes, it’s not as if this wasn’t hotly debated for half a decade during the blocksize war. It increases the UTXO set arbitrarily (which can be mostly mitigated by something like UTREEXO), and the storage costs of the chain.

I explore it all and the level of the risk I think it implies in my episode “pooping in the park.” (And a few others right around it) As well as supposed solutions and why they are either far too risky or ineffective. I don’t have time to go into an entire thread on this though if we are starting at “do you know it makes non-mining nodes cost more?” This just isn’t that important, imo.
