There are valid transactions and there are invalid transactions. Deciding that we will no longer accept valid transactions based on the shape of them is changing the rules.
Deciding that we need to rollback the chain because of a transaction we don’t like is madness.
The fundamental argument that 444 makes is flawed. Data on chain is not a liability. It requires external software to make any sense of what that data is. I could design software that reads an arbitrary part of the chain to create images or blocks of text. Run this software continuously and eventually it will recreate Shakespearean plays or state secrets or csam or any number of things. Decoding the data for a JPEG is no different.
The fact that the proponents of 444 are using the threat of legal liability should trigger an immune response so violent that none of the proponents are welcome in Bitcoin culture again.
Core V30 is the change of rules.
Also , what do you think about governance in Bitcoin?
Do you think Bitcoin is strong with only 1 main implementation that operates independently of Bitcoin users?
