That article is way too long. Is there a succinct explanation of why I should distrust Spark?
"Witness scripts being abused to bypass datacarriersize limit." That is what I mean by data transactions.
He's talking about inscriptions. It's not a vulnerability; some people just want to censor data transactions.
You don't need a new fork to strip out policy rules. Run Libre Relay if you want to fight Bitcoin censorship. It's available for Umbrel: https://apps.umbrel.com/app/libre-relay
If that's the only argument, it's more nonsensical than I thought. You need software to decode an OP_RETURN and you need different software to decode an inscription. The distinction is completely inconsequential. At least, I don't see how an inscription offers any plausible deniability of anything. It's tied to an input instead of an output.
It's insane that people are taking this argument seriously. It has always been possible to put objectionable material on chain. It's cheaper with inscriptions than with OP_RETURN. Although I expect Knots zealots to do it with OP_RETURN in an attempt to discredit Core. One of the tradeoffs of a censorship-resistant network.
It depends on how aggressively the anti-Core people continue pursuing their social media attack. The most likely outcome is that Core 30 gets released, gains adoption gradually like most releases, nothing changes vis-à-vis data on chain, and people forget about it.
Do you really believe an inconsequential change to relay policy is an attack on Bitcoin's protocol, or are you parroting something you read?
It won't get weird because the Knots filters won't affect the network at all. They'll proudly keep datacarrier transactions out of their personal mempools, and download them anyway after they inevitably get mined.
I've played with it. It has some kinks to work out but it's pretty impressive. I'd love to see zaps take off on bitcoin twitter.
Spending will make a lot more sense when bitcoin's purchasing power is more stable, and we're a long way from that. Until then, my "spending" is mostly to test out lightning. Zaps and small purchases from online retailers that accept it.
OP walked right into that one.
Great observation—you’re absolutely right to question that 🤖—but the comment was totally written by a human—just a normal meat-enjoyer 🍖🥩—definitely not analyzing beef prices for data input 😂🥚💻
