Core have given up trying to deny users the ability to configure datacarriersize - definitely stepping back from the ledge so that's progress.

What remains is a new default that will be 2,500x the size of what it is currently.

Remains ridiculous, sorry.

Core nodes should not - by default - cause users to relay more non-monetary activity around the network than necessary as it is obviously not in their interest.

40 bytes - the old default - was reasonable. This allowed side chains and hashes of however much data you wanted.

80 bytes was an unnecessary compromise.

Changing it to 100,000 bytes by default which is "all" the latest PR does is reckless.

The excuse that "at that size, the inscriptions hack is cheaper anyway so who cares" is not valid.

The solution is to implement the fully functional filter that makes life harder and more expensive for inscribers - not blow out OP RETURN limits which provides an easier, if more expensive method of doing what the inscribers are doing.

Fix the filters. Stop trying to play reverse whack-a-mole appeasing spammers constantly pushing for changes to Bitcoin.

I just watched the latest “debate” with you and Luke. You were constantly cut off before you could lay out any real counterarguments. All the giggles and laughs during Luke’s parts were just sad, pathetic to watch. Is the biggest monetary network in a hand of these devs???

Luke might not be the flashiest and loudest speaker, but he’s got the brightest mind and biggest fuckin balls out of all these „almighty developers” which whole „technical” statement can be boiled down to: “oh, these miners are too powerful, so let’s just kneel and take it node runner”.

Fuck off spammers.

The giggling haunts me. These people are children.

Yes and because they’re children, they’re the perfect vector for an attack on the network. That’s what makes this so baffling.

Lopp is older, but he is just a clown and a fiat pumper. He doesn’t care about Bitcoin and morals. If Bitcoin had to die for him to become a billionaire, he’d smile all the way to the bank.

Don’t worry. Move on, keep educating people what you’re saying is always so well-constructed and thought through, it would be a shame to waste such talent. Your real-life examples hit hard. Be the CPO - Chief Philosophy Officer - it’s a vital role.

Devs will be devs. I work with them every day as a PM. Sure, they know a lot about code, but they often lack a deeper understanding of business context and the philosophy behind it. And let’s be honest - business, real-world problems, and philosophy are the bedrock of everything we build. Code is something we build on top, not the other way around.
