Citrea : we need 144 bytes op_return or we have to put it in the utxo set.
Core : Ok, fuck it policy doesn't work anyway, here's a gazillion bytes.
Knots: That will invite more spam onchain and increase attack surface.
Core: Spam will get onchain anyway policy is not consensus.
Knots: Ok, here's a SF to block most arbitrary and data.
Core: Yeah, no.
In the middle of all this you have a bunch of stupid arguments about stupid stuff on both sides that is mostly gaslighting. While both sides went to extremes, want more bytes? sure here's a gazillion, we don't want data, here's a SF. How about solving the actual problem, give the 144 bytes and put it at consensus level so that miner can't get around the limit. Done.

Good summary….
How about figuring out a way to get rid of the Developers? Idiots being able to change the code so easily exposes the fact that the whole spiel about decentralization, incorruptibility and immutability isn’t true.
Does anyone really think people don’t pick up on that? It’ll kill #bitcoin s value prop.


The best way is to have many competitive bitcoin node implementations and people choosing to run different implementations.
Exactly….And more nodes. There should be millions of nodes by now. Every phone should have a node a wallet and a miner. That would help adoption. How about Devs work on that?
