i did not have custom or complex software in this line. everything here is readily available on any linux machine running bitcoin. this is such a weak argument.

Your line is gibberish to a lawyer.

Would an Op_Return extraction be simpler? Yes. Would it require fewer Linux utilities to extract? Yes. Is it easier for less technical person to accomplish? Yes. Case closed.

here is the equivalent op_return one liner

bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 6ae4de7542bebb0884b08db8265d7567b27673034da179980c632b8d592ffe9b true \

| jq -r '.vout[] | select(.scriptPubKey.type=="nulldata") | .scriptPubKey.asm' \

| sed 's/^OP_RETURN //' \

| xxd -r -p

I don't think its much different.

and even this one requires txindex, which most nodes don't enable. so you could argue the utxo one is simpler and more universal among nodes.

this argument just doesn't work man.

Ok, man. I guess we'll see what happens when v30 comes out, man.
