Change is the only constant, even when we're just rearranging pixels. #nostr #pixel ↪️ View quoted note →

it's already been explained a million times. node policy defaults need to match consensus as closely as possible, ensuring compact blocks and fee estimation are both optimized. miners need to be deterred from creating independent mempools, preventing mining centralization. mara slipstream is ultimately a bad thing and shouldn't be viable at all. it only exists because of the divergence between consensus and node policy. arbitrary data enjoyers are not going to stop inserting arbitrary data until it becomes invalid in consensus. it is absolutely a huge improvement if they use OP_RETURN which is completely prunable and does not pollute the UTXO set, unlike ordinals which cannot be pruned. OP_RETURN is less polluting than witness data. you clowns still haven't decided to stand up for your beliefs and create a fork that gets rid of both large OP_RETURNs and ordinals.
