Beware anyone who tells you there’s an emergency situation and bitcoin needs an immediate fork. This isn’t the value overflow incident of 2010. There is absolutely no crisis.
Discussion
Lmao wow.
"soft fork with a chain split" um.... pretty sure that makes it a hard fork
I’m wary of anyone urging you to rush into action out of fear.
Will anybody tell me what the benefit is to increasing op return limit
The only crisis is that there a lot of "Bitcoiners" out there who don't understand immutability and are actively attacking Bitcoin motivated by a purely theoretical moral panic.

Didnt the value overflow create more bitcoin? Only ever be 21.5 million btc
Yes! It accidentally produced 184.4 billion BTC across two outputs. The bug was patched in a few hours and the blocks were reorganized to remove the transaction history.
At this point I don't really like Core or Knots. I don't want excessive arbitrary data on chain, but I also don't like the doomsday alarmists who think they're gametheory experts at outsmarting states/corpos (who are already buying in to Bitcoin).
If you just think about it rationally for even 10 seconds you’ll come to the conclusion that you can’t stop people from embedding data on-chain, so the best path forward is option that does the least harm, and that’s what Core 30 provides.
I've never found a clear answer as to what fringe edge-case Core 30 fixes by greatly increasing the OP_RETURN filter. Of course, you can't stop people from embedding data on chain. However, I don't think the answer is to make it much much easier to do so (unless there is an explanation that has escaped me).
what is this all about?
A crisis is unavoidable, this dorks are hiding something.
If you want to eliminate CSAM feel free to run the node implementation of your choice.

This guy lost the plot completely. Core v30 is shit but so is Knots. No need to rush anything
