55% of miners have now adopted Core v30.
The doors are now open to send transactions to the blockchain that include any form of image or video to miner.
The miners will include it in the blockchain and it will be there forever.
From that point onwards people that run nodes will be at risk of prosecution for hosting and distributing illegal content.
Anyone that doesn't like bitcoin will do this. That could include, shitcoin projects, intelligence agencies, Peter Todd.
It is really not a question of 'if' this will happen, more a question of 'when' will this happen?
Sooner or later, the government of one of the 195 countries in the world, that doesn't like having a competing currency that they can't control, will prosecute someone for running bitcoin a node that contains easily accessible illegal content.
The potential for prosecution with 'plain text' op_return data is on a different level to any ordinals that were stored in the witness data before. Simple tools that exist on the computer of anyone running a node can be used to access and view the material.
People will get scared away from Bitcoin nodes and we will lose decentralisation.
The media backlash against bitcoin will be more severe. Users of Bitcoin will be branded criminals and publicly shamed.
Here is a list of mining pools that have upgraded to v30 of core:
Foundry USA 28% Upgraded (Oct 15) Default 100KB
F2Pool 15% Upgraded (Oct 18) Default 100KB
Binance Pool11% Upgraded (Oct 14) Default 100KB
AntPool 22% Testing (still on v29 primarily)N/A (not fully on v30) Delayed due to "policy review"; if they upgrade soon (~Nov 1), expect default unless community pressure mounts.
ViaBTC 12% Partial (50% on v30) Default 100KB on v30 nodesHybrid setup for "risk hedge"; no indication of custom limits on v30 portion.
Luxor~3%On v29/KnotsN/AConservative; using Knots' ~80-byte default, but not on v30.
Braiins~2%On v29N/AHolding out; focuses on firmware over Core upgrades.
If you know anyone at any of the pools that have upgraded please tell them to reverse the upgrade.
There is still time to change things before an illegal block gets mined.
This video gives a good summary of why core v30 node runners have a risk of prosecution for illicit content that might be stored in the larger op_return field.

If satoshi is watching what has been going on with plans to invite spam onto the bitcion blockchain, then what might he do as a result?
Perhaps sell 80,000 bitcoin?
I am hearing that v30 of Bitcoin core is an invitation to store images on the blockchain.
Does this make it a legal risk to run a Bitcoin node?
Is this an attack on Bitcoin?
