I don't understand why Citrea cannot do something like Alpen Labs is doing with Strata, where they're able to keep all required "arbitrary" data under 80 bytes.

Would we not have to have this debate were it not for Citrea's technical choices?

It might have not come up now, but it seemed inevitable. It’s such a stupid timeline and we really should be talking about covenants instead. Much more interesting debate with actually useful outcomes.

I agree that all this time and effort would be much better devoted to covenants.

Still, this debate has been going on for a while and for whatever reason there seems to be no clarity whatsoever from both sides.

I still have to hear what Knots proponents think of arbitrary data that cannot be marked as unspendable outputs
