Some non technical observations on the bitcoin data bloat discussion:
- Most subject experts say risks for Noderunners and bitcoin itself from spam in current situation OP RETURN are overstated by proponents of bip 110 (alarmists, minority outcast group)
- most bitcoin OG’s agree spam is not desirable but we can’t do anything about it yet unless we take unnecessary risks
- less decentralization argument is only partly valid long term but not an issue short term
- Most bitcoiners favor current ‘relative’ stability over unknown situation of bip 110 and risk of a chain split is granted
- most transactions will be on layer 2’s anyway for better privacy and UX
- Bip-360 is more likely to happen security upgrade (less controversial) for which the data issue fix can also be packaged in?
- Noderunners (naturally hating spam and shitcoiners) were misguided on Knots and BIP-110 - were emotionally manipulated.
- when in doubt do nothing, wins again
- Pro bip 110 camp will loose
(I’m not techical at all, might have missed a lot of nuance here.)
