Some non technical observations on the bitcoin data bloat discussion: - Most subject experts say risks for Noderunners and bitcoin itself from spam in current situation OP RETURN are overstated by proponents of bip 110 (alarmists, minority outcast group) - most bitcoin OG’s agree spam is not desirable but we can’t do anything about it yet unless we take unnecessary risks - less decentralization argument is only partly valid long term but not an issue short term - Most bitcoiners favor current ‘relative’ stability over unknown situation of bip 110 and risk of a chain split is granted - most transactions will be on layer 2’s anyway for better privacy and UX - Bip-360 is more likely to happen security upgrade (less controversial) for which the data issue fix can also be packaged in? - Noderunners (naturally hating spam and shitcoiners) were misguided on Knots and BIP-110 - were emotionally manipulated. - when in doubt do nothing, wins again - Pro bip 110 camp will loose (I’m not techical at all, might have missed a lot of nuance here.)
