That’s the idea. Even a minority of nodes rejecting large OP_RETURN transactions (spam, arbitrary data, non-monetary database-like information) can disrupt the process and lead to orphaned blocks.

That will cause miners pain and they’ll eventually use the same filters as the nodes to reduce the risk of not getting rewarded.

I know it’s popular to be all-in on moral panic these days, but I think Bitcoin is in a good technical place right now. I’m bullish.

I think Core devs are doing good work. And I’m glad that people can run Knots or otherwise fork if they don’t like Core. That’s part of what makes Bitcoin robust, and gives useful market/adoption signals.

Mining pool centralization isn’t great, but there are plenty of optional tools to use more if it interferes more with the network, and economic signals (eg the possibility of high fees for censored transactions) exist for precisely that context, to help it get unstuck if it gets stuck.

I think current functionality is great, but I also think CTV+CSFS is a sensible upgrade on top of that if folks end up coalescing around it.

There’s a movie called Time Cut on Netflix where someone travels back to 2003 to stop a murder. Literally the premise of your post.

Haven’t seen it, but there is indeed a lot of demand for that era!

Late night question, which app/interface are you all using for Nostr? I’m on Primal and Damus.

nostr:npub1hxwmegqcfgevu4vsfjex0v3wgdyz8jtlgx8ndkh46t0lphtmtsnsuf40pf is such a savage. 🤣

It's a good thing he doesn't work at a graveyard because there wouldn't be any bodies to visit.

That guy is a professional clown.

Maybe all those payments to the kiddie porn sites via Venmo are his issue.
