Should OP_RETURN be phased out in #Bitcoin?
Discussion
Probably.
- It's a cat flap in a house with broken windows.
- Also created as appeasement to create a less harmful way to spam.
- But there are now even better ways to spam
- Samourai didn't really need OP_RETURN to make it work and it doesn't help privacy.
So there is some weight to doing away with it.
Agreed.
It doesn't need to be there.
