citrea isn't bad. citrea doesn't insert monkey jpegs into the bitcoin blockchain. it inserts prunable zero knowledge proofs indicating that many transactions outside the blockchain happened correctly. it's an offchain scaling solution. the stuff is happening OFF CHAIN.

you can go around saying stupid things like "muh monkey jpegs" or you can read about what ZK rollups actually do for five minutes. your choice

indeed, Citrea isn't bad, but dev-core changes pushed by VC ... Flaw or trap?

citrea was originally going to do a combination of small OP_RETURN and witness stuffing. in fact they could do it today with zero changes to anyone's node. core asked them to just do OP_RETURN and no witness stuffing because then everything would be prunable. you want that.

so, why can't citrea do it with just small op_return ? if citrea's fees economy needs to polute witness, maybe they're not so good guys.
