Another strowman

Who defines what is normal? People are free to write custom scripts, that is the whole purpose of having script language there.

It doesn't affect utxo set size.

The patch won't work. I don't support the shitcoins, but I know how to work around a patch you have in mind and I will help people to do it, just to fuck you and teach to be more polite!

No one exploit here. Otherwise the whole segwit is an exploit. You get an advantage over a fair legacy wallet user, who pays the whole price. Stop using segwit and taproot addresses, then bark on other people using segwit discount!

Strowman. I didn't say they are not interconnected. The price of 1byte in block and 1byte in utxo set is very different for node operators, that's the point. Why did you brought utxo set issue in the first place then?

You are the troll here. Propose how to fix the "problem" and I explain why your "solution" sucks.

No, they don't. Additionally, you've shifted your thesis. Initially, you claimed they have an unfair advantage in inflating the UTXO set, which would be problematic if true. Now, you've changed the topic to block space instead of the UTXO set. Firstly, there's a significant distinction since I store the UTXO set on SSD and the blocks directory on HDD, which is more cost-effective. Secondly, when I send transactions, I receive a discount for SegWit data. They might leverage it more for a greater discount, but it's still fair as it follows the same rule for everyone. I also gain an advantage over someone using legacy addresses and overpaying for each transaction. They deserve it, and so do I. It's fair!

I see that your purpose is just trolling!

Antonopoulos is just right here and nothing has changed unless you prove otherwise. Whoever overbids others in a block, gets into the block. Everyone pays by the same rules, the discount is on signature part in case of using segwit, not on output part. Additionally, op_returns are not stored in utxo set, so they actually don't inflate anything, just spend space in blocks, which is fine if they pay enough. And they do pay a lot!

Can you provide an example of a transaction where ordinals unfairly gained an advantage in inflating the UTXO set by inserting a script into OP_RETURN, please? This seems nonsensical to me.

I'll set aside your judgment on my education for the moment. If you aim for your messages to carry influence, consider working on cultivating a more polite tone first.
