I don’t get the fear. Bitcoin script is sandboxed in memory (520) and compute (5 sec). No OPs could possibly harm the network. So what’s wrong?

840000x5s=48 days

What is the definition of 5s of compute time when a cpu could vary from a 1970 C4004 to a quantum galactic computer?

IBD has taken too long for awhile now. ZK rollups are a real solution.

5s is just meant to mean “way to long” for any computer, 5000ms is an eternity.

12000 txn/block x 5s = 17 hours

Point taken. But then miners couldn’t verify such a block in 10 minutes either, so it would never be added.

Denial of service is only one problem, perverting miner incentives with MEV is THE problem imho.

More importantly, OP_CTV opens up all sorts of possibilities, with none of these concerns.
