So if the Knots clients with additional filters doesn't 'fix the spam'... the only course of action at that point is a consensus change. Which could result in a hard fork.
If the filters don't work well enough... then a consensus change is warranted. Right?
Filters work well when deployed on large enough scale. They don’t fix the problem entirely. The fallacy of the other side’s argument is that we should aim for perfect results with getting rid of the spam (which won’t happen even if we fork the chain with consensus rule change) or we should abandon the fight entirely.
I don't believe that filtering op_return is possible. It has been around 10 years... and any op_return of any size is enough space for degens to 'create' meme coins. A "rune" is just an op_return with a name... "indicating" arbitrarily that an output or outputs are 'memecoins'. It's really silly.
Couldn't other data schemes effectively do the same thing? The vast majority of inscriptions aren't even jpegs... they're 'tokens' or indicators for tokens which op_return can already do.
