Fair enough! Ok let me see if I can challenge your take on this, I know I can have a civil dialogue with you 😁

I think that the change can actually be labelled “contentious” not bc of technical aspects, but bc of the response that has caused in the community (at this point with 20% knots is clear that this change has indeed pissed many ppl off). Maybe the other guy meant to say this?

I also think the other guy got frustrated when you brought into the conversation the “technical” aspect. I guess it links to the whole argument of “trust the devs is another trust the experts system”

Since we are talking I’d like to check this with you: I’m a bit worried bc of the 1000% in op_return space. From 80 to 100’000 bytes it’s a massive jump. I feel like we should be on the side of caution and not increase it so much all at once, better do it gradually. Just feel like the stake are too high and we should be cautious and gradual with changes. What do you think?

I think it should be removed entirely and the half step of the devs in this case has only served to cause a longer tail of outrage.

The reason to remove it is because filters are meant to make sure users don't submit unintended transactions. They are not to stop certain transactions from getting on chain.

It may be contentious in the sense that the %20 are misled to believe the latter. Ie. That contention is based on a misunderstanding of how Bitcoin and filters operate. It's only contentious because they don't understand. If they did, there wouldn't be any contention. That's what I'm trying to say.

But no, the devs had to try to appease the crowd with a half step that didn't help anyone. If they had removed it entirely, we could have moved on from this by now. Hopefully when 30 does come out, and a majority of nodes switch, the knots people may start to understand oh yea... There's no change on transactions after the new update and start to see their fears are unfounded and based on a lie or misunderstanding.
