Spam filters mean there will be less spam.

If you're worried about side effects like centralization of mining or UTXO set bloat then let me know when you're ready to take those problems seriously instead of LARPing about it and nuking OP RETURN limits.

UTXO bloat and mining centralization are *serious issues* in Bitcoin.

You don't get to do absolutely nothing about them for years then invoke them when coming up for convenient excuses for killing datacarriersize.

Mining *is* centralized. There's no amount of bending over we can do relaying the stupidest trash possible around the network appeasing miners and scammers that can roll back the tide there just in the hopes that MARA becomes less motivated to maintain Slipstream.

Where have the serious people gone?

The argument that this PR will reduce out-of-band payments is especially disingenuous. OP_RETURN usage will quickly max out, and then pools will go right back to taking these payments. Then we'll have two problems instead of one. I highly doubt spammers who have developed some process that depends on out-of-band are going to completely refactor and switch to OP_RETURN. They'll continue doing what works, especially when blocks are bloated with even more spam. Out-of-band payments will increase if anything.
