You have yet to state any argument in favor of removing op_return limits except for your sheep herd follow the experts muck
Discussion
I did, but you have trouble accepting uncomfortable truths.
There is no rational cost benefit analysis where the benefits of filters outweighs the costs.
They accomplish nothing, and they numerous unintended consequences.
All you have stated in this thread are negative arguments “countering” my statements.
The problem in structure is that you are proposing a change and have added nothing supporting or outlining any benefits of this change.
Your side literally says “fix the filters.”
Not “keep filters the same.”
You are pushing changes as well, hence the push to switch to Knots, where Luke is in solo control.
That is a separate argument. If the original wave of inscriptions were filtered with Luke’s PR we wouldn’t be having this discussion now. Mara caught on to the so called “economic incentive” only a year after the initial wave and passive encouragement.
But perhaps we can use the focus on nodes and software policies for positive changes and a more engaged user-base of Bitcoin.

Mining centralization
Ok thanks. Now my question is if mining centralization is a priority, why does core not provide a template by default? The miners out on gas fields aren’t technical people, they need an easy option to install a node and mine to ocean or solo using a pre-rolled start9 or umbrel running core.
I don’t see how “discouraging” out of band transactions is going to do anything to help small to mid-size miners run their own nodes instead of hashing for super-pools.
I will simply reply by saying that:
- The amount of nonstandard transactions have been extremely minor
- Until the recent debate, no one used large OP_RETURNs, mostly fueled by the debate itself (and no serious usage still!)
- There are very few outputs below the dust limit
None of those facts contradict that this PR was overall a good change. Maybe it’s not an earth-shattering improvement, but even a 0.0001% improvement is a step in the right direction.
The attacks on Bitcoin Core and push to move to knots is a bunch of ideological zealots that can’t accept that people may use bitcoin in ways they don’t approve of.
I don’t believe in helping shitcoiners.
That’s the difference.
It’s not “helping shitcoiners.” And that demonstrates the problem with your mentality: you care more about being a pure maxi than doing stuff that makes sense.
Filters make bitcoin worse, even for people that don’t shitcoin at all. You’re just wearing a blindfold and maintaining a mempool that doesn’t reflect actual blocks. Not to mention worsening mining centralization.
