Two nuanced points were made that I wasn't aware of:
1. The limits on OP_RETURN were not added by consensus.
2. Bitcoin Knots is maintained by a single person.
I was also not persuaded by the arguments in favor of the change and agree that nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx had the best position on the issue: let the node operators decide how they run their node.
The OP_RETURN change doesn’t matter to me in and of itself. Removing configurability for node operators and the arguments put forward to justify that removal seem more problematic to me.
Discussion
Indeed. I appreciate Odell offering OpenSats support for Bitcoin Knots.
