Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Fucking insane take. I just want the devs to focus on stopping the current spam. Not making future spam easier. Using taproot inputs for inscriptions is fundamentally different than allowing large chunks of data in OP_RETURN. Inscriptions are backdooring the intended use of taproot. Opening op_return makes the data the intended use. Its not hard to understand.

Op_return was put in place a decade ago to prevent utxo pollution. You can’t stop utxo pollution, and it’s far worse for Bitcoin than OP_return spam. You have the right to run your own node you don’t have the right to change the rules and roll back the chain to remove valid transactions.

Where in the link does it talk about rolling the chain back? Sure, but nodes have the ability to make certain transactions invalid if the operators dont want to store bullshit on their computers for eternity.
