Got it. Thank you. So if OP Return data is harmless and can all be pruned, how can users remove it all from their nodes?
Discussion
It is removed automatically from the utxoset, but its still in blocks
Being in the blocks is the issue though. Do you believe there is nothing which can be done about it?
of course you could try to do something about it, but it would have to be pretty heavy handed, require hard forks, and have lots of complicated rules to try to censor any form of data looking transaction.
But again it would just push people into using steganography and hiding data in keys (utxo bloat) which would be impossible to detect automatically.
Its a censorship resistant network, i don’t see how you’re going to stop people from spending money to get these types of transactions in
I think our best leverage is to price it out via legitimate usage and perhaps a small block hardfork
I like small blocks. I can’t see it ever happening. I’ll continue to run core version 25.1.0 for now. I appreciate your time and effort.
We should’ve scaled slower, lightning allows for billions of transactions a year which has pushed the cost down so low.
> legimita usage
Lol.
Whats funny? I don’t think spam and jpegs are legitimate usage of bitcoin, but i also accept i can’t stop them.
It's funny that there should be some legitimate usage for Bitcoin.
Teleportable gold man its pretty cool
It bought you a pin at Bitcoin Asia the other day the whole rest of the trip was paid in fiat.
Yes i also agree we should be trying to make it a medium of exchange and not just a store of value, since that should help adoption and get freedom units in the hands of more people
You've been trying for 15 years.
