To make this post not so long and boring… I will try to summarize by making the blanket statement that both sides of this thing aren’t saying that they see things from the other side. I will do that now.
I understand what he is saying when he says “transactions will still end up in the blockchain.” I feel that any jpg, inscription, etc should be allowed in the chain. I also understand that my filter does not prevent it from being in the chain. I don’t want to speak for everyone out there. If another node runner wants higher limits, or lower limits, wants to fit 4mb pictures into a block then I welcome their choice and will defend their right to choose what filters they want. Where we diverge is that I want the choice. I don’t want Jameson, Peter, Shinobi, Luke, Shitcoin Mechanic (I only use that name because he used it during the debate,) WK057 or anyone else to tell me what settings I should have. Satoshi Gave me a way to have a choice and I want to exercise that choice. So when the few developers say that they are unilaterally deleting the choice…. I have to voice my concern and take appropriate steps to ensure that I have a choice.
Thank you for telling me about that video. I learned a lot and it cleared up the real motivation for them wanting to change and change so quickly. When I heard all 3 of them say “it doesn’t matter, but we are changing it anyway…” I knew there was more to the story. They are dealing with Citrea and they developed Clementine which needs the 140 instead of 80. I have no problem with that. My problem is that they tried to pull the wool over like people don’t think, or aren’t developers so we wouldn’t understand. They used the example of lightning or other layer 2 “maybe needing more op_return space in the future… Things weren’t adding up. Now is see… The developers want to help Citrea use 140 of op_return which is more expensive than 80 of witness, but is it more expensive than 80 of witness plus 40 of op_return? I don’t know that answer. Now I am just thinking out loud and rambling lmao
