yeah, the witness discount was a trojan horse, for sure

eliminating that shrinks the chain space to 1mb again. it's not gonna break anything, just raise the price of using the exploit.

that should be the first thing they do to fix the problem, not argue with people about the principle of not opening up bitcoin to spammers on idiotic irrelevant points.

the segwit per push limit also is easy to enforce especially at the mempool level but it should be re-enabled, maybe it can be a bit bigger but forcing the users to make more pushes in their script would raise the amount of non-witness data also. so you see, the witness discount is a primary issue that enabled other shit to come into play. i don't think there is any good reason to allow bigger scripts with taproot either. this is just plain shitcoining.
