⛓️ Bitcoin Remembers

People have been writing messages into the Bitcoin blockchain since 2009 — memorials, proposals, prayers, protests, jokes. Once written they cannot be edited or deleted, so the chain remembers them all.

1,315,744 messages archived from 960,519 blocks (genesis → 960,518), updated as each new block lands.

Spam is quite delicious. I don't understand the controversy.

TRUC is an abuse of policy to try to provide security, which unlike spam filters, will never be safe; and implementing this actually distracts from real solutions for Lightning. Anchors bloat the chain and UTXO set merely to avoid a little extra work in the wallet, and attempt to give an unwarranted discount to such abuse. Cluster mempool appears to have little purpose to justify its excessive complexity. "Packages" are just a lazy way to avoid figuring relationships out automatically.

PSA: “Inscriptions” are exploiting a vulnerability in #Bitcoin Core to spam the blockchain. Bitcoin Core has, since 2013, allowed users to set a limit on the size of extra data in transactions they relay or mine (`-datacarriersize`). By obfuscating their data as program code, Inscriptions bypass this limit. This bug was recently fixed in Bitcoin Knots v25.1. It took longer than usual due to my workflow being severely disrupted at the end of last year (v24 was skipped entirely). Bitcoin Core is still vulnerable in the upcoming v26 release. I can only hope it will finally get fixed before v27 next year.

Since the restrictions on the usage of OP_RETURN outputs encourage harmful practices while being ineffective in deterring unwanted usage, i propose to drop them. I suggest to start by lifting the restriction on the size of the scriptPubKey for OP_RETURN outputs, as a first minimal step to stop encouraging harmful behaviour, and to then proceed to lift the restriction on the number of OP_RETURN outputs per transactions

ACKs and NACKs only count if they happen on-chain.
