...Then after the fork flop we can get back to things that actually matter, like saylor being a spook, free samurai, and dac8. Real issues, not ginned up nonsense taking up all the oxygen.

If Bitcoin can’t be killed from the outside, perhaps coercing/bribing the group responsible for the major node implementation would be a more effective means of killing it. I just want to hear the genius developers defend their decisions. Instead, I just hear how BIP-110 is dead before it even started from shitcoiners like Lopp who obviously are profiting off of the new changes Core has implemented. Changes made without any consensus whatsoever, I might add. I find it odd that you stand in allegiance with fed Saylor on this. I’d love to know what makes you feel so strongly.

It's been explained a million and one times before, and if your not hearing by now then you probably ain't going to hear it now but here we go again for old times sake. Op return limit was raised because people who wanted to mine large op return were sending their txs directly to the miners (like mara's slipstream). This was creating a problem because as knots morons like to parrot the line that nodes matter, well this was causing a problem because the mempool was not matching the actual blocks mined. Raising the op return limit acknowledged the unfortunate reality that you cannot stop "spammers" from sending their txs direct to the miners and reconcile d the mempool (which is what you node verifies) and the mempool. In fact, this problematic dynamic was creating an extra income source for the large mining pools (OOB txs) at the expense of the small pools and solo miners. So raising op return removes a centralizing dynamic in Bitcoin mining. Do you understand this? It's really at the heart of the whole matter. Fast forward the knots crew knew they were going to do this. And the planted the seeds of an endless fire hose of fud which is 100% grade A fear mongering bullshit. Sounds fine but it's all hot air. It's a wack a mole argument of disk space bloat, fee market going out of control, shitcoins on Bitcoin, dev capture, and when all else fails an appeal to child porn argument (and there's more I can't rember rn). All of these things fall apart under basic inspection but, not to fear the knotzos have mastered the art of the instapivot and move on the next stupid talking point. And on and on and on and on and on, and it never ends. Turning the whole thing in to some rambling strawman appeal to emotion. And I'll take a moment to acknowledge the fact that core is human beings. They are not perfect but they are damn good at their jobs, it's an open source project and you yourself can dig into the code and offer to build on it. Core is no monolith but the devs I'm familiar with are brilliant people who love Bitcoin. Are they perfect? Hell no! They have flaws for sure but it's upsetting to see them getting dragged nonstop by people who haven't done shit for Bitcoin. Knotzos worship the bad faith actors and like a bunch of lemmings turned their vitriol against the people who built and shipped Bitcoin core v 1-30. What have you done for me lately amiright? The only reason knots works is because the work that core built, they just took it, added some enshitification features and convinced the lynch mob they are the saviors. It's laughably pathetic and sad. As far as sailor being a spook we'll just look at the company he keeps and the fact that he never shows proof of reserves The fact that he seems to be coming out against knots means nothing. There is a thing called nuance, there is also a thing called misinformation, there is also a thing called disinformation. Just because a controlled op says something does not mean you gotta be for it nor against it. His words are meaningless . The Truth is that miners get to decide this bip or lack thereof. I've noticed the framing is now starting to turn the knotzi shit for brain army against the miners rn. Priming the pump, buts that's none of my business. The miners understand the things I'm telling you RN so 110 is not going to happen unless something drastic happens with the miners. Question is how many knotzos get wrecked by following their false prophets into the abyss. I'm hoping it's a lot fafo.

Totally. Look at this idiot.

The argument that the OP_RETURN increase was "needed" to reconcile the mempool with mined blocks ignores the fact that mempool-block divergence is not a bug, but a normal feature of node operation. Each node maintains its own mempool based on its own local policies and this is at the heart of Bitcoin. Actors will still use services like slipstream regardless of OP_RETURN limits. At least by going to miners you had KYC and legal constraints, now garbage and illegal content is normalized. Sure core is not a monolith, but it's governance is corrupt and challenging was needed. Ultimately more implementations are a net good for the network and as plebs we should be cheering for this rather than picking sides like fucking tribemen

What was wrong with Bitcoin in 2022?
