Just like the previous default setting was not a hard control, neither has raising the default
limit introduced any sort of hard control against hiding arbitrary data in transactions. All this means is now more arbitrary data can be stored in OP_RETURN as well as hidden in other places like before. Core must surely realise that the majority of ppl are not techie/engaged enough to adjust their own node settings, so raising the default limit is effectively a consensus change of leaving the door wide open instead of just ajar

But it’s not just changing a default setting is it, the limit setting has been deprecated, which means it will likely be dropped completely in future versions, stripping the user of the power to modify the setting themselves. Why couldn’t they just leave it the fuck alone in the first place?

He just explained plain as day why the OP_RETURN change was totally unnecessary “an extreme edge case… only Citrea needs it at the moment…. Where someone needs to have visibility across the network in an unconfirmed state”
Tough shit! Who do the fuck do they think they are?

Anything with Peter Thiel mentioned in it stinks of 💩

It’s not the same thing. If you don’t have software that stitches the bits together then the data is meaningless to you. If someone breaks into your node to install software to do that, they are committing a criminal act in order to effectively plant evidence on your machine that you couldn’t have known you had without the additional software

Why was deleting the OP_RETURN limit an emergency?

Looking forward to reading this. Notwithstanding BIP-110, was there any valid reason for Core to completely wipe the OP_RETURN limit, apart from the “spammers gonna spam anyway” trope. “The lack of a robust fee system is why there is spam” is not a valid reason for changing something that was already working fine (if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it). What was it that motivated Core to take this action for something that they themselves imply doesn’t make any difference? What is the argument for action over inaction in this case?

😂 Yes(terday) for me, and yes it was a turd day, and related to cars too - went to renew vehicle license… left ID in the photocopier (ID also turns out to be expired anyway), had proof of address without date on it, could not find insurance then when I went to rummage around for it in the car I hit my head on the trunk! Doh

Fucking imbecilic psychopaths. Trump has put the final nail in the coffin of the charade that he’s been peddling to his followers that last time his hands were tied and this time will be different; that he cares deeply for his country and he’s going to get rid of deep state. In fact, he’s even more full of shit now and always will be.

😂

Seems like a bunch of people are flying their own drones in all this as well, or maybe automatically link theirs with the mothership. Anyway it’s pretty amazing to watch. It’s gonna get even more difficult to pick out real UFO’s with this tech around.
Despite being a communist country, Vietnam’s actually a pretty free place, as no one really follows the rules, they just get on with things

🤣🤣🤣
