Just to confirm. The current constraints are the 1MB block size limit and the 4MB block weight limit (block weight includes segwit / signatures).

Are you saying to reduce block weight limit to 500K, or just the block size to 500K?

I still need to research segwit damn. But I mean all data people have to download and verify, so I think it's block weight.

I think there is nothing to verify in something like an inscription just if else statements

They just need to add a limit to stuff like OP_Return and the other OPs that inscriptions are using. It use to be there if I remember right.

I guess that could be considered a block weight data limit.....

Inscriptions do not make use of OP_RETURN. It’s pretty difficult to prevent people from publishing arbitrary data on the blockchain while also keeping a flexible scripting system around.

I think future internet bandwidth and speed is more important, of course that takes new hardware as well.
