Payments adoption impacts price as if widespread
- privacy is improved massively
- narrative bitcoin is useless disappears
- moat becomes even bigger
- can live off bitcoin without need for fiat rails so more attractive to store it
Store of value needed for payments that reinforce store of value in a virtuous circle and it all ends (in the positive scenario) with unit of account, the last one

That’s not what bip 110 do : it changes rules at consensus level. knots itself allows you to run relay policy that is stricter (probably possible in core to but default much laxer and completely relaxed for op_return in core30)

2026-03-12 14:41:09 UTC

- reply

I don’t understand why core 30 changed that. Even before core 30 a motivated attacker could (one of the arguments of core for changing) and it was indeed a situation where 99.9 pct of nodes were a running restrictive relay policy. And if you believe that most nodes having a restrictive or relax relay policy does not matter you can’t be mad at core 30 for changing that.
So my position is : “I wish consensus rules were different but they are the way they are and changing them is not not-costly and should be done carefully” and “I wish core did not change relay policy rule let’s continue to try to gather consensus first on this”

2026-03-12 09:35:40 UTC

- reply

You are right ; we should continue. 20% of knots and 20% core 30 so 80 pct network running 80 capped op_return.
I would have preferred consensus to have capped op_return but the conservativeness in changing consensus is very important too (and, less so but also, the simplicity of consensus rules)
I disagree with changes implemented in relay policy by core. I believe it is reckless and arrogant. core has too much influence on the network through this type of changes I agree. But I am also happy that core can’t change consensus rules too easily.
I also want home solo mining to increase and I believe it will and we should aim for as much as possible designing own blocks through ocean
Then for BIP-110 itself I understand the motivation, the frustration etc, I am hesitating but it might be (at this stage at least) a bad precedent if it were to succeed and if does not reinforce core

2026-03-11 09:03:54 UTC

- reply

Yes.
However trying to change consensus rules without broad agreement is not a good thing either even if the change itself is positive - I agree with Giacomo here. It must be very hard to change consensus.
IMO we should convince people / nodes to change their relay policy back to 80 cap on op_return and to solo mine with ocean defining their own block (at a cost in terms of expected profit and loss) as decentralized mining is very important too.

How is capping arbitrary data a “technical argument” that can be judged by “technical judgement” rather than a philosophical position on what bitcoin is and what it should optimise for?
Deciding about this is much more about “should we take the risk of jeopardizing Bitcoin as money for its potential use as data storage” than anything technical.

I believe we should aim for minimum common denominator for bitcoin
Bitcoin is money
Bitcoin is permissionless for money
Money is important
Robustness is important
Mono-purpose usage limits the surface attack
Data limits is not censorship - censorship is very different. It is preventing people to say what they want or to transact with who they want / how they want. Limiting sizes of arb data on monetary network is not censorship.
A lot of devs that brought a lot to bitcoin don’t care about money. That’s fine. Work on other things. It is silly to give your effort and life for something you don’t care about. Bitcoin is a monetary network and protocol. Doing multiple things makes it more fragile for that important purpose.
@npub1au2…t53j clearly you are mot knowledgeable about bitcoin than me and you care about it as money and don’t favor spam. But i don’t understand your opposite too. To BIP-110 and i would like to. Consensus rules have changed historically. Reintroduction of op_return in 2014 was such a change. Why would (notably) limit Op_returns size at consensus level be an unacceptable change if it gathers consensus? Conservative position makes no sense if changes that harms the things we care most about have occurred. Only reactionary position makes sense then.
I agree with @npub1lh2…a9nk view that contiguous data being labeled arb data by the protocol is different morally and legally as non-contiguous being supposed to be something else. I disagree with a lot of Luke’s worldsview though but that I agree with. Minimum common denominator.
Then I really don’t want this thing to be broken. But I am not under the impression than BIP-110 is reckless : it takes a lot of precaution not to be. Core change of default relay policy 100kb for op_returns with little consensus was more reckless imo.

Yes of course and every woman prefers the second one ; however this is probably non-binary, and I would tend to think that the first one in a way helps the second one last longer in relationships
The second one alone is something that mostly happens in beginnings of relationships versus second one and first mixed

2026-02-12 15:44:47 UTC

I have no idea anymore about this core vs knots drama.
I think bitcoin should be optimized for monetary use not for data storage. Changing default relay policy to 100kb seems to have little upside for monetary use. (I could understand a slight increase to help potential current / futures L2 without giving too much space for images)
The argument”otherwise spams go elsewhere in more harmful way” like in utxo set seems wrong to me.
1) they will continue doing that also as it is less expensive
2) I agree with Luke argument that it is not the same profoundly for an image (potentially unlawful) to be stored and coded in a place “specially done for arbitrary data so images for instance” in the protocol and in a place whose usage is changed by the spammers
So I don’t understand the core change in relay policy
However I see a lot of people I like and admire supporting the change and being obsessed by Bitcoin as money (and working on it hard) so I would like to understand genuinely their position (ignoring the toxicity of some of people on the other side or the willingness to show support to maintainers that have been harassed etc)

Can someone articulate a reasonable reason why this change in default relay policy was needed? Seriously. This is a change with serious potential risk and consequences. Why the fuck was it needed? Can someone say something more convincing than “fee predictor” or “because we want JPEGs on chain” or “content agnostic”
The use case is money. Why the fuck do we need this change in standard relay policy??

2026-02-05 19:11:13 UTC

- reply

In the end, things are not binary. Default relay policy matter: entering a deal with a miner to put CP on the chain is a very identifiable way to do something illegal, which is not comfortable for the potential miner and the user that does it. Much easier for bad actors if non identifiable and miner can say not on purpose.

2026-02-05 07:11:10 UTC

- reply

I was troubled by ChatGPT denying op_return max size was changed in core30 relay policy. He only agreed he was wrong when I told him grok disagreed 😀
While I can understand the logic of open later above, I believe
1. There is a difference between a “deal” to add for instance csam between a miner and a user and csam being easily propagated on network. It is unlikely that such deals will exist for csam as miners will look really bad (much less the case when propagated as they can say they did not see / filter)
2. There is a difference also to add csam through complex ways in segwits that require interpretation and just straight easily in common interpretation in op_return
These are real threats that op_returns size increase make much worse. Saying people are idiotic or obsessed by those or puritans won’t make those threats disappear and is not a way to argue.
The fees prediction improvement seems minor compared to the change of how bitcoin is used / can be used (or attacked) in practice.
Here too I agree with knots that change of default policy are shaping what the network is in practice. We don’t live in a theoretical word. Things are non binary : a chain where arbitrary can be added but it is non standard / non natural is very different from one where it is normal use. Keeping the network very simple, mostly monetary by keeping defaults optimizing for that seems the easy win.
Otherwise, we risk losing the monetary use, that is the use that matters to most bitcoin users, and what it was invented for.
