This artwork is a study into one of the most tangible base layers of bitcoin, a printed circuit board. Created utilizing the same material, and process, that every ASIC chip currently securing your sovereignty is mounted upon. The same material contained within each of our Bitcoin nodes. The same material that lived in the computer Satoshi used to create Bitcoin itself. @modeotecArt X @Asanoha

The Kanji next to “21”, represents “million”. It is written in Daiji, a more complex form of writing Kanji numbers.

Bypassing datacarrier size limits by obfuscating data as code (e.g., with OP_FALSE OP_IF) is a bug, and a vulnerability to bitcoin.

Why is spam bad? Learn here:

WTF Happened in Feb 2023?

A website dedicated to mitigating spam on Bitcoin.

Spam opponents often tend to define or characterize spam by defining it based on the purpose of the network (Peer-to-peer Electronic Cash system), although there is truth in this characterization, it is an argument that can be hard to defend as the purpose of the network is a concept that can be seen as subjective. However, spam can also be recognized by anyone, even intellectually honest spammers, thanks to two main characteristics: Wastefulness of the shared network resources Obvious misuse of Bitcoin’s functions for a malicious purpose In addition, these transactions are also often sent in large volumes. Transactions with no practical value or purpose, such as those submitted by supporters of big blocks during the Blocksize wars for example, are characterized by wastefulness as their output was too small to spend. Other examples of wastefulness are transactions that are sent back and forth repeatedly to the same addresses, transactions which carry no state information, transactions purposelessly split into hundreds of tiny outputs that are then recombined in the next transaction, etc… These transactions are malicious partly because they are wasteful, creating a backlog in the mempool that drives up transaction costs unnecessarily. The 2023 wave of spam is especially egregious because it involves storing obscenely large and unoptimized state data using methods that abuse several of Bitcoin’s functions, such as the segregated witness script discount, OP_IF OP_FALSE codes, and bare multi-signatures. These transactions can be classified as spam due to their ignorance or malice, they could also occur off-chain relatively easily through NFTs with reference hashes or BRC-20 tokens with reference hashes much more efficiently and this was already proposed several times. Functionally, the result would be the same as it would allow users of this “standard” to verify the data without overwhelming the chain. BRC-20 tokens are not optimized at all for example and use clear JSON (!) instead of HEX or base64 encoding, demonstrating a complete disregard for the shared resource of the timechain. This failure is particularly concerning since they account for more than 50% of the average block’s size, as shown in the BTC spam analysis blocksize graph despite being avoidable with a more responsible usage. The two characteristics presented above are a simple way to recognize spam that most likely violates the purpose of the network and the desired behavior, and Bitcoin actually supports other protocols that submit non-payment transactions which are not considered as spam by most participants. A good example is the OpentimeStamps protocol (there are also many bad examples), which uses Bitcoin for blockchain timestamping and is not considered as spam by most participants in the network as it generally does not present the two characteristics presented above: it uses shared resources efficiently and does not misuse Bitcoin’s functions.

THERE IS A BUG IN BITCOIN'S CODE, AND IT'S A VERY CONCERNING VULNERABILITY. datacarrier size limits can be bypassed by obfuscating data as code (e.g., with OP_FALSE OP_IF), as exploited in the wild by Inscriptions in 2022 and 2023
