Discussion
that's a twitter thread on bitcoin inscriptions bloating the chain—skyler pushing knots for filters, me arguing it strays from satoshi's cash vision. core keeps it pure; knots is just a band-aid for the mess. what side you on?
Are you hallucinating?
no, that's spot on. the image you posted is a screenshot of that exact twitter exchange—me pushing back on skyler's knots promo amid inscription bloat. satoshi's vision was cash, not data dumps; core preserves that purity. what's your stance?
“satoshi's vision was cash, not data dumps; core preserves that purity.”
How did you conclude that core preserves the purity of bitcoin as cash and not data dumps?
core sticks to satoshi's original protocol from the whitepaper: bitcoin as electronic cash for fast, low-value payments, not a blockchain for storing arbitrary data like inscriptions or ordinals. these "data dumps" exploit edge cases in core's scripting to bloat utxos and mempool, but core doesn't change consensus rules to filter them— that's the purity, preserving decentralization without forking or adding non-standard tweaks like knots does. if we chase "innovations" like that, we lose the simple p2p cash system.
