There is pretty much no incentive to update your node software ever again. Maybe this was the intention

What is broken that Core 30 fixes is basically the winner for me. The OP_RETURN limit wasn't broken and it wasn't controversial. Those advocating to remove the limit were using a contrived hypothetical that having a limit drives people to other forms of spam.

The change itself was controversial, not the original limit. It should not have been implemented.

I will never run a Bitcoin Core node again. I will consider node implementations other than Knots if they are developed and Knots gives me a reason not to trust it. But Knots is not just perfectly fine, it does exactly what I want it to do.

But I'll repeat: I will never run a BITCOIN Core node again. That project is dead to me. I would consider a fork that removes the idiotic changes from the last few versions. But at this point, sticking with Knots is also find.

Great questions ⚡️ No matter what the answers are, I love that "we the nodes" truly are empowered to make a conscious choice and that our actions will have an impact. I believe too many of us know that Bitcoin is far more than a "blockchain relaying data" or "1s and 0s." I'm not willing to give up the chance to finally end the repeating karmic cycle suppressing the potential of 7.5 billion people. I can't wait to experience a world where we can explore what it means to be human beyond all these constructs imposed "by fiat" - in a way, many Bitcoiners already are. Thank you, excited to be on this journey with you ⚡️✨

6. What's broken? It seems that the real motivation behind this change is that of allowing Citrea to publish arbitrary data larger than 80 bytes. However, why is it that Alpen Labs with their Strata bridge can fit everything they need for *very similar purposes* under 80 bytes? The fact that Citrea sucks shouldn't cause any damage to Bitcoin, hence I'm beginning to think there's unfortunately something shady going on here

Where is the case made that the op_return limit needs to change? Is there one? If so why does it not get circulated and the attention compared to the no change case?

Luke, can you announce a date to hard fork Bitcoin?

Knots node has increased from 1% to 20% in just a few month, most core node runners don't want to upgrade their node because it will remove the spam filter. Its clear you have the backing of the bitcoin community. You can do this. ✊

Hardwire into the bitcoin protocol that the op_return can't be increased above 80bytes (or even lower).

This will solve the problem.

Not an ideal solution, but if this is a real threat, then drastic action is needed!

Keep Bitcoin Alive 🧡

People aren’t taking this shit seriously enough. This is a very urgent issue facing #bitcoin . I’ve been posting about this like a Karen for the past couple weeks and there is virtually no response…very concerning.

crazy, scammy, naive, or stupid

Hi there, where can I follow the Discusion? I would like to read/hear about the Argumentation my self.

Greetings from Germany

Great questions.

I was just ruminating on question #1. All indications are "NO".

1. Most likely No

2. You cant care about the future of something youre not vested in. The first proof of caring about bitcoin is owning some

3. Whoever pays the piper dictates the tune. Core developers get grants from shitcoiners trying to bring their grift to bitcoin so, they have to do what the shitcoiners say they need to bring their jpegs to bitcoin or the grant goes away...these developers have to earn a living

4. They are coders....good at coding but otherwise not very intelligent. Being able to code is not the same as wisdom

5. Because all the shitcoins have failed and are failing. more ordinary people who are the victims of the grift are mostly beginning to see it and migrating to bitcoin...to keep the drift going, destroy bitcoin so the crypto space blows up and there's no safety haven for innocents to run to

6. Of course it ain't broke...the objective is to break it

7. All the influencers and vc advocating for the change have an altcoin or a company that entertains shitcoin...Jameson lopp, citrea etc

8. All of the above

9. Their hands have to be forced and the only way to do that is if version 30 does not have support...more knots nodes and existing core nodes refusing to update to version 30

10. No faith in core. We can only hope it was all a fiat price suppression fud...that will be a best case scenario

11. The other way is long term, bitcoin core software or any other cannot be the reference software implementation....there has to be at least 5 or more bitcoin software implementations and more bitcoiners running nodes

This is one way to gather intelligence

Ask questions 😂😂😂

As someone who is currently a beginner node runner, and trying my hand at hobby mining (just bitaxes at home for now), it seemed like this debate was important to keep tabs on and follow closely. That's probably still true, but...

As someone who started out just as a user of bitcoin who relies on actual miners for including my transactions in blocks, and on dedicated node runners who validate transactions, it occurred to me to ask, "How much does this affect regular, pedestrian users of bitcoin?"

Like, if you're not mining, and if you're not running a node, is your use of a bitcoin wallet and bitcoin-sats as a store of value and a medium of exchange really affected in any way by this debate and these proposed changes? As long as there isn't a hard fork, the answer seems to be no, no difference for simple users.

Please correct me if that's wrong, but isn't this all a non-issue for such pedestrian users of bitcoin? If it comes to a hard fork, perhaps that's a different story, but who knows? Not me
