A valid Bitcoin transaction is NOT the same thing as a valid use of Bitcoin.
People decide what Bitcoin is for, and adopt rules (via code selection) to enforce their wishes (run a node).
It's not the other way around. The code does not define what people wish for.
It attempts to!
This is why, "Oh it's a valid transaction, you should not stop JPEGs on bitcoin, you're a cEnsoRInG hypocrite!"
No, dickhead, all validation rules are cEnsoRInG rules.
Run Parmanode-Knots. It helps you filter and slow propagation of nonsense. Parmanode also helps you learn stuff so eventually you can build your own node without assistance.

How do you feel about non JPEG but still non monetary uses of bitcoin such as open time stamps?
Please Login to reply.
Not valid for what it was designed for, ideologically speaking, and not concerned if it doesn't do any harm, and not a high load.
JPEGs do harm
Most cases can probably be handled with a hash inside the 40-80 byte op_return limit to key off. Like PayNyms (80 bytes).
