Guys, there is a big misunderstanding. It’s already possible to embed full JPGs in a single transaction. The problem today (Core/Knots) is where the data goes: it’s written into the pubkey or witness area, which is needed to build the UTXO set. That forces every node to keep this data forever to stay consistent – even if nobody wants to store JPGs. The planned Core update changes this by enlarging the OP_RETURN field. Spammers could still add data, but OP_RETURN outputs are unspendable and never enter the UTXO set. Nodes still see them during verification, but afterwards they don’t matter anymore. Classic full nodes keep them in history, but pruned nodes can drop the data after validation and just keep the UTXO set plus the most recent blocks. So today (Core/Knots) all nodes must carry the junk permanently. With the Core update, OP_RETURN spam doesn’t burden the UTXO set, and pruned nodes automatically shed it. The chain stays complete and consistent, but spam data has no lasting effect. This is a big win for lightweight setups like mobile devices, Raspberry Pi, or other low-power systems that only need the UTXO set. Important: Core is not creating a new problem – it’s solving one. Spam like JPGs is already possible today, just currently in a way that forces every node to carry it forever. Proof: Full big JPG (size: 215kb) on a single transaction already possible : https://ordiscan.com/inscription/105662556 Related transaction: https://mempool.space/de/tx/19977355403faa1ee0a9ce7d96d4c4adbb8c2675e1a84ca999b38c06b6d4a981 Ore am i missing something here ?

Yes you are right, but 100 sat/vB only means, that there are more transactions waiting than normaly but the blockspace is fixed, and only every 10 minutes there will be a block, so, if they can not wait that long, they have to go to layer2s. And than longtherm, there will be less transactions in the mempool, and the "Magnet" of 1 sat/vB will come back. So 1 sat is the lower baseline for the security of the network in the future. If we let that break, the baseline of the security goes under 1 sat/vB.

High fees does only mean, that the use of the Bitcoinnetwork is overheated. Do you know what i mean ?

How can there be more transactions ? Only the minimum fee limit is now lower, and the mempool is already filled ok.

The only thing that changes, is that in times when there is no spike in transactions (normal times) the fee tends to 0sats, and normaly the fee would tend to 1 sat, and this could be a big gamechanger in the future, i think.

Because it just makes the security budget problem in the long run bigger.

LETS MEME IT TO REALITY 🙌

Does somebody know, how i can spend all the sats of a UTXO on a Zeus Wallet? Because there is no option to send max sats of an individual UTXO. every time i try, i get back a few hundred ore thousend sats. now they are steanded 😮‍💨

somebody a idea?
