Yes. It’s a pit, not a rabbit hole. Id recommend you look up the Bitcoin Explained podcast episodes 98 and 99 so you understand what actually changed.
I listened to the episodes on the OP_RETURN limits and CORE 30.0. My questions for you:
Why is the size limit increased because it fits a specific business case? I don't think it should change for any business... the business should work within the existing system. IMO, bloating the software simply generates problems., and has the potential to negatively impact the blockchain in the long run.
Why is there no mention of specifically CSAM in the shows? It is not just generic "spam" that can be added to the OP_RETURN. Increasing the OP_RETURN allows the entire CSAM jpg to be easily stored and viewed. Whereas the 80bytes makes it more challenging to do so.
Concluding that there will always be spam, so we just have to deal with it and increase the size of non-transactional data allowed. Well, by increasing the possible size over time, then the types of spam that can be added can change... parts of a jpg > jpgs > gifs > mp4s.
Anyway, thanks for forwarding the podcasts... appreciate it!
