🚨 Mempool Bomb Alert — Core v30 🚨 Core v30 ships permissive OP_RETURN defaults and relaxed relay behavior. That’s not neutral — it’s an invitation. Cheap OP_RETURN payloads + package/ancestor relay = an easy mempool bomb: nodes fill, eviction churn spikes, block templates slow, wallets lag. Pretty quickly your node is doing unpaid work for spammers. Runbook for honest ops: • disable datacarrier (-datacarrier=0) or cut -datacarriersize hard • tighten mempool limits (-maxmempool, ancestor/descendant caps) • enable pruning, disable txindex if you don’t serve explorers • run observer-mode tests (DamageBDD) to fingerprint peers This is not FUD. It’s an operational reality. If you care about uptime, latency or proving you’re running a clean node — act now. Proof, telemetry and hardened configs coming from DamageBDD. #Bitcoin #Core #Knots #DamageBDD #Mempool #OpReturn #ECAI #NetOps
