I think your first answer is kind of changing the topic, since we were discussing node centralization.

Is your concern node centralization, or is it fee pressure, or both?

So my main takeaway from this discussion is that @npub1lh273... @npub1lh273... sees a legal and/or moral difference between data in OP_RETURNs and data in (say) Inscriptions.

*Even if* it’s the exact same data!

(The argument, to the best of my understanding, is that data in OP_RETURNs is “sanctioned” *as data* by Bitcoin Core now that the policy limit is lifted— whereas data in Inscriptions can only be “misinterpreted” as data.)

It does make me wonder how many people in the Knots camp actually understand that this is the level of nuance they are ultimately fighting over. (It seemed that even @npub1wnlu2... kind of learned this live as they were recording…)

“Sir, we found CSAM in the blockchain.”

“CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN OP_RETURNS!? Track down every node IP, locate their physical address, and send in the SWAT teams immediately!!”

“It’s actually in Inscriptions.”

“Oh, never mind then.”
