Don't you think we really need to be more precise with how nostr works? As in creating a RFC where shit is very specific 

bitcoin_beginners

I'm writing this as someone new to Bitcoin, who is trying to understand the current upheaval I've seen across #nostr.


What Are Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots?

Bitcoin Core is the original and most widely used software for running a Bitcoin node. It’s like the “official” version, maintained by a group of developers who prioritize stability, neutrality, and broad usability.

Bitcoin Knots is a modified version of Core, maintained by developer Luke Dashjr. It includes stricter rules and extra features, often reflecting a more conservative or purist view of Bitcoin’s purpose.

Do I understand that correctly?

Discovering the Current Controversy

From what I gather, the debate centers around a technical feature called OP_RETURN. This feature would  allow Bitcoin transactions to include extra data, things like text, images, or proofs. This data isn’t sats or BTC, but it would get stored on the blockchain.

Due to a new update, Core is increasing the size limit of OP_RETURN, from 83 bytes to 100,000 bytes. This then means that there would be an increase in the amount of non-bitcoin related data on the blockchain.

Bitcoin Knots’ Opposition

Those supporting Knots see this as a dangerous shift, essentially turning Bitcoin into a “dumping ground” for spam and non-monetary data.

Key concerns that I've come across fear that an increase in the OP_RETURN size would:

  - Fill up block space, making regular transactions more expensive.
  - Invite illicit content, like spam or malware, risking legal pressure on node operators.
  - Drift away from Bitcoin’s original purpose: peer-to-peer electronic cash.

Why It Matters

From my POV as a new guy on the block is that this isn't just a squabble over a technicality, it is a fight over the future of Bitcoin. That is, if I'm reading the hyperbole correctly.

-Will Bitcoin evolve into a multi-purpose ledger for art, identity, and other things?

-Or should it remain a lean, focused currency system, avoiding distractions?

Knots users have signaled resistance, while Core users embrace flexibility.

The outcome could shape Bitcoin’s scalability, legal exposure, and cultural identity.

Have I captured the essence of the debate sufficiently? Or have I misrepresented either side of this debate>

I am not yet advanced enough in my orange-pilled life to really take a side. I seek only understanding.
