Indeed. Lightning commitment transactions stash the commitment number in the nSequence and nLocktime. Is that spam?

OpenTimestamps uses full transactions to timestamp data, is that spam?

Samurai (IIRC) had a method of obscured payment addresses which required an initial seed tx. Was that spam?

You can encode data in the key used when you use a taproot script spend path. Is that spam? (Can you tell?)

Financial transaction data is not spam on a financial transactions database. Childporn and dickbutt memes are spam. Hope that helps clear it up for you and all the other retarded pedophiles

Oh, did we recently expand those fields by ~100k bytes too? Quick answer: LN commits- No (those fields have to be there) OTS- No (also mischaracterized description They hash their message into their transaction ID, the ID length doesn't add more data) Samurai- No (a transaction to predicate, an...
