Nostr Web Client

I've been trying to quickly catch up with the details of Knots. Is this true:

- it's new, and hasn't been reviewed much

- it limits op_return to 42 bytes

- today, Core has a limit of 80 bytes

- but the next release of Core will have no limit on op-return

- both clients transfer data via the normal Bitcoin client relay network and not over any other network; i.e. neither of them use any other network

I'm trying to write neutrally, to get the facts straight. I'm very aware of the spam/op-return/unspendable-utxo debate, I just don't know much about Knots specifically

Knots has existed for over a decade IIRC. Yes, lacking rigorous peer review.

Sounds about right.

Also right.

There will still be limits, just much higher.

Right.

And both clients have the same policy on forwarding Ordinals and Inscriptions?

(Although, I guess it's not easy for clients to even tell if the Ordinals and Inscriptions are present [and spammy])

Knots has stricter rules and tries not to relay transactions perceived to be non-monetary in nature.
