y'all gonna have to start fighting for a hardfork to make inscriptions expensive. I think 256 byte max does the thing. I think notary on bitcoin is a great use case though, but if inscriptions had to fluff every inscription out with a sequence number and and extra key and signature each time and could only squish 256 bytes in for each tx they would be priced out of their stupid game.

I'm not confident that this politically oriented approach is going to work. I think better to use a market solution:

Let's start getting people to build protocols that use anchors. Short inscriptions that fix the state of an external data system's checkpoint in some way.

Let's also stop saying that paxos/raft/bft based protocols are shit. Just start pushing the idea that most cryptos are really securities, keep pushing at this, because you can do pBFT based on Bitcoin UTXOs too. If you think about it for a minute, you realise this cuts the ouruboros open and ends the circle jerk.
