#slipstream was bad enough. Big, paid-for by their customers, files could be shoved into a block, regardless of your relay policy, BUT they never touched your #mempool , and they were "curated" by #mara .

But #op_return up to 100KB will be something else : 🧨

Big, serialized, ILLEGAL, files, will linger (for free) in all the mempool of all non-filtering nodes in the world. (NEVER MIND if they never get into a block…).

#bitcoin will become a free, uncensored (so much for "censorship resistance") file transfer network. Congrats #core !
