So what kind of spam do you like or find acceptable? Please answer.
Bitcoin is not a data storage platform.
Do you disagree?
Paying a tx fee once for a monetary transaction is the expected acceptable use case.
Using it as a shitcoin enabling platform or JPEG file storage is possible but its not the intended use.
Further it DEGRADES the intended use which is monetary.

Humans write the software.

You have made the subjective value judgement that the effort to reduce spam is not legitimate.
Defining spam is much more objective than you let on.
If it is data for a shitcoin platform or a media file it is non-monetary.
Bitcoin is a ledger for monetary txs. If someone takes a ledger and uses the pages to scribble cartoons that is not monetary use if the ledger.

What kind of spam do you like?

Spam is inherently undesirable. If people want to shitcoin, thats fine. Do it on Eth or somewhere NOT BITCOIN.
If you want file storage use a torrent, IPFS or something.
It is much easier to develop a relay filter than some shitcoin which exploits the spam
It is a worthwhile back and forth like any kind of security effort.

2025-10-01 19:19:34 GMT

No this isnt framed right.
The decision of whats monetary or not is much sinpler and objective than how your portraying it.
Bytes after Op_RETURN are non-monetary arbitrary data but a small amount (40 or 80) had been tolerable. Data put here for images or video is obviously spam and not directly part of any tx and is spam.
Data in the inscription exploit by way of taproot is obviously spam. Same for data hidden in fake pubkeys etc.
Spammers pay the price once paid to get in rhe blockchain and then node runners are forced to bear the burden forever into the future. For legitimate monetary transfers of Bitcoin thats ok, but not for shitcoins on Bitcoin, nor JPEGs, or any other other data other than a hash.
BITCOIN IS NOT A NEUTRAL FILE STORAGE PLATFORM. That is a corruption of its purpose as money

2025-10-01 05:55:27 GMT

- reply

No. People are misrepresenting the issue.
This comment makes it sound like some complex heuristic is being used to subjectively determine what is spam.
The spam filters in question are dirt simple.
You are allowed max 83 bytes after Op_RETURN vs 100000 bytes now in v30 which is crazy.
You can count the bytes in known inscription exploit technique as its done in Knots, or allow all inscription data in like with core.
Actually Knots has that as configurable so its node runner choice.
The doam filters are just limits to arbitrary non-monetary data.
"Every spam filter without cost becomes a centralization vector"... WTF does that even mean?
This is nonsense.
Nurdening nodes with hosting arbitrary data is a centraluzation vector.

Odell as usual is low-key supporting Core and dismissing opposition to what they've done.

He thought because of his stack and "Bitcoin Jesus" status he should be in control.
He wanted the ring of centralization.
Ver teamed up with bad-actors and transformed into shitcoin shadow of himself that failed to takeover Bitcoin.
Today in the case of Bitcoin Core they are ones making a big change, not Knots.
Their policy change to allow arbitrary data1025x more than before is a slap in the face. It is an apparent allegiance and accomodation for crypto VC spammers.
Core is pushing this change through with the same sort of hubris and blind ego as Roger Ver.
Obviously expecting complete centralized control since they put out the reference client.
The tables have turned.
Bitcoin Core has become authoritarian and shitcoin enabling.

It's a very weak explanation for this bizarre radical change. It has factual errors also.
It is NOT POSSIBLE to change the OP_RETURN limit back to how it is in v29.
The way they lazily changed it with the expectation it would be deprecated essentially broke how it used work.
It's now the limit per output or something.
Regardless the limit will NOT WORK as before. It will be more than 83.
