- The Bitcoin community is divided on removing the 80-byte limit on OP_Return.
- Supporters say it’s an efficiency upgrade, others call it “spam.” Oh, the drama.
Oh, what a tempest in a teapot the Bitcoin community has stirred up! The current controversy? The removal of the 80-byte limit on OP_Return. This little change would allow more arbitrary data, like messages and images, to flood the blockchain. How delightful! 😏
Some stalwart souls, like Jason Hughes, Vice President of Engineering at Ocean Mining, are absolutely horrified. He’s convinced this proposal will transform Bitcoin into “a worthless altcoin.” A true tragedy for the digital age! 😱 He went on to say:
“Bitcoin Core developers are about to merge a change that turns Bitcoin into a worthless altcoin, and no one seems to care to do anything about it.”
Oh, Jason, always so dramatic. But he’s not alone—there’s a growing chorus of dissenters who think this change is an ‘attack on the network’ and, frankly, a sign of Bitcoin’s impending death. How melodramatic. 💀
OP_Return: A Spark for Division
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe—aka, a separate mailing list—Luke Dash Junior, a BTC core developer, and self-proclaimed network purist, is waving his flag of outrage. He called the change “utter insanity,” which, if we’re being honest, might be a bit much, don’t you think? But Luke, bless his heart, had this to say:
“Entities are using unspendable outputs in lieu of OP_Return outputs. Precisely because of the size limit. This increases the UTXO set size unnecessarily, a harmful effect of having the arbitrary OP_Return output limitations.”
Translation? Some projects are using clever workarounds to get more data into the blockchain, which increases space usage and slows things down. Removing the limit would supposedly fix this issue. Efficiency, at last! 🏃♂️💨
It’s all so terribly technical, isn’t it? But let’s not forget—OP_Return is somewhat like the long-dead OP_CAT, and some folks think reactivating it could give Bitcoin a little extra zing. 💥
Will the community bite the bullet and embrace this proposal? Who can say? In the meantime, Bitcoin remains a serene giant, unaffected by the drama, holding steady at $94.6K. Ah, the sweet taste of indifference. 🍾
