Updated the GitHub gist https://gist.github.com/andy108369/dadc7d1f93edca5a775f29ca1bf12065
**Update (May 14, 2025):**
Incorporated several important new insights:
* 🛡 **New Argument Against OP_RETURN Removal:**
Added a section on how removing relay filters could weaken mempool-level spam resistance and empower mining pools with private submission APIs. Included a quote from Matt Hill (Start9) supporting configurable filters.
* 🧩 **Philosophical Insight:**
Quoted Matthew Kratter: *“It’s not that spam filters caused mining pool centralization — it’s the reverse. Centralized pools make spam profitable.”*
→ This reframes the problem as a mining incentive issue more than a relay policy one.

#### 🔍 **Technical Enhancements**
* **Transaction Size Clarification**:
* Reworded: Bitcoin enforces \~100k **virtual bytes (kvB)** = 400,000 weight units.
* Noted that witness-heavy txs can approach **\~400 kB serialized**.
* **Knots Defaults**:
* Updated: Bitcoin Knots uses stricter `-datacarriersize=40` (not 80).
* Credited Murch for this correction in Acknowledgements.
---
#### 🔄 **New Arguments & Risk Reframing**
* **Expanded “Arguments For” #6–7**:
* Added how standardness rules **discourage spam via cost and delay**.
* Included counterpoint that removing limits could **disadvantage “purist” miners** (e.g. Ocean).
* **Final Thoughts Overhauled**:
* Replaced generic conclusion with a nuanced one:
* OP\_RETURN removal = technically sensible, **but introduces tradeoffs**.
* Even with 4 MiB block cap, large OP\_RETURNs may **crowd out monetary txs**, raising fees.
* Out-of-band miner deal removal (e.g., Slipstream) may be **overstated**.
* Risk: more bloat **without** solving miner centralization.

Why run Bitcoin on someone else's server when you can deploy it trustlessly on permissionless infra?

Finally, Guinness Zero has arrived in 🇨🇿!
I've been eagerly waiting for this moment for such a long time. 🍀
Venice.AI is a service that operates open-source image and text generation models in the cloud for end users. They offer a reasonably priced subscription service for state of the art image and text generation models (similar to ChatGPT, Midjourney, Claude). But there is a (legal and supported) way to get a lifetime Pro account without a subscription (do you hate subscriptions as much as I do?), for one-time cost (by buying a MOR token, which I'll simplify for you by just selling you the account where all this is activated).
Check out Venice (it's really cool) and if you want a Pro account, I have them for sale!
