Not an immediate role but if you listen to Casey Rodarmor on either Odell or NVK’s podcasts recently, it could become a dangerous game of chicken between nodes that run it and nodes that don’t
Discussion
Chicken? How so? Worst case is that blocks take ever so slightly longer to propagate.
The way Casey and Rijndael explained it was that individual mempools start diverging drastically depending on whether the node is running ordisrespector or not
Yes, but that is the desired effect. The only potential negative is that blocks take ever so slightly longer to propagate when they are found (if they contain any inscriptions).
Why dangerous? Mem pools are individualized anyways, once proposed in a block all nodes would accept it unless we make a more invasive change. Didn’t listen though so maybe I missed context.
