🔔 🔔 NEW OP_RETURN 🔔 🔔

Book of Nakamoto, Chapter 3, Verses 4–11 And Satoshi spake, not in whispers but in hex, saying: “Thou shalt not embed thine data in every field, for the blockchain is not thy diary.” “Yet I bestow upon thee OP_RETURN, a sanctuary for up to 40 bytes — no more, lest ye walk the path of vanity.” “For 40 is the number of discipline: 40 bytes for thy message, no more than is righteous, no less than is truthful.” “And behold, I give thee one more blessing: the coinbase message. A field untouched by consensus, wherein miners may write freely.” “Use it to bear witness, to mark genesis, to declare revolt — as I once wrote about the Chancellor” “But thou shalt not waste it with shills and tokens of greed, or the wrath of prune shall be upon thee.” And so the nodes upheld this covenant, and the mempool was serene. So go forth, brothers and sisters. Let us inscribe only that which is worthy. And let thy payloads be small, lest one abuse the sacred ledger for thine idle bytes. In the name of the Nonce, the Witness, and the Unspent, Amen.
