83 bytes was the standard since 2016 and nobody called it a filter or catastrophized over it.

Exactly. Making it 83 or 85 or 160 wouldn’t be an issue either way. Obliterating it might be unwise.
That's right. But there are folks claiming to be able to differentiate between 'pure montary' use and other.
Using the blockchain to store pictures or other stuff is, IMO retarded - BUT - stifling this going into the future is not clever either.
Agreed. I don’t believe bitcoin should be used for spam. And I don’t think ripping the bandaid off opreturn is wiser than a stepwise increase of defaults, but the whole CP/CSAM argument is moot.
100% :blobyes_sm:
Stifling it in the past was bad too or what?
Making data storage hard via op return relay limit made sense when there was no easy alternative to opreturn.
That said, I can find no reason why eliminating configuration option is preferable to changing default from 80 to 160 bytes. Not convinced 100,000 bytes will be used for financial transactions but 160 would for Citrea’s use case (to the extent I understand it).
