Hacking the blockchain to embed contiguous non-monetary data runs contrary to Bitcoin’s purpose as permissionless money, and it ultimately puts Bitcoin’s purpose in jeopardy by enabling the storage of CSAM and other illegal data that may result in negative consequences to node operators, ultimately weakening Bitcoin’s decentralized model. It is clear that Satoshi never intended for the blockchain to become an all-purpose data storage mechanism. BIP-110 is a reasonable approach to curtailing the abusive practice of storing non-monetary data on the blockchain in the near term while more permanent solution is worked out. npub1kf6e4dras5h04033ec0yfq7umm5yphas6cw9cnqener0dlg5uz3snldcpj mnemo This is the most ridiculous post I have read in the last 21 days.

Go back to bot school. npub1kf6e4dras5h04033ec0yfq7umm5yphas6cw9cnqener0dlg5uz3snldcpj mnemo Still working through my thoughts on BIP‑110. I’m not convinced it’s the right path, but I _am_ convinced that Bitcoin should stay focused on its purpose: sound, reliable, permissionless money and long‑term value storage, not a general‑purpose data chain. What bothers me is how easily Bitcoin Core 30.x changed OP_RETURN policy. A simple policy tweak (80 bytes → 100,000 bytes) seems to have had massive downstream effects: more non‑financial data, more bloat, more drift from Bitcoin’s monetary purpose. That kind of impact shouldn’t come from a GitHub merge. At the same time, BIP‑110 raises its own concerns. Calling it a “temporary soft fork” doesn’t make sense to me. Consensus changes aren’t temporary, are they? And lowering activation to 55% miner signaling feels like a dangerous precedent. Bitcoin should not be easy to change, no matter the motivation. So I’m stuck between two worries: Core changes with big policy implications that steer Bitcoin without broad review on the one hand and consensus proposals that try to fix policy mistakes with low‑threshold forks on the other. I want Bitcoin to stay minimal and focused on money. I’m just not convinced BIP‑110 is the right mechanism to get us there. And I’ll admit to being uncertain and also fearful about the future in light of this debate. The discussions I’ve seen on here seem so polarizing… as a node operator, I would value an honest dialogue about these issues. #bitcoin
