Thank you for the response, I’m going to push back a bit, you say that Citrea doesn’t “need” larger OP_RETURN. My question is more along the lines of does Citrea benefit from larger OP_RETURN?. To be clear, my intent is not to attack your character, but allow you to respond directly as this is a common criticism I hear. I see a lot of people talking past eachother on this issue . Then devolving into personal attacks and emotional appeals.
