Bitcoin

The Bitcoin Core Development Team has announced a major update in the next October 30 version.

The changes will increase from the OP_RUTURN data limit from 80B to 4MB.

Community discussion

The proposal removes the long -term virtual size limits on OP_RUTURN, which is a commonly used treatment to include non -financial data in Blockchain. Currently, Bitcoin Core allows only a small amount of data in OP_RUTURN. The update will provide the basic deportation of much larger transactions by default.

Idea receive Both support and criticism on GitHub, with the discussion that focuses on whether bitcoin should prevent non -cash transactions or act as neutral laveles for any valid treatment.

Those who suffer from this argue that removing the maximum can call unwanted messages and non -cash data to bitcoin blocks, which can occupy space for financial transactions. According to them, maintaining the current boundaries protects the economic value of Bitcoin and keeps it effective. They also say that removal of settings such as -by -dataacarriersize would reduce the control of the knot.

Comments from SECCour, Chrisguida and Wizkid057 express anxiety that the change succumbs to random post decree and encourages Bitcoin’s misuse. They all agree that the network should resist random mail instead of facilitating it.

The update supporters believe that storing arbitrary data on bitcoin is actually and cannot be stopped. They say that trying to prevent him leads to resorting to worse methods, such as making special deals with miners.

The group argues that OP_RUTURN is the least damaged method. This is because it is small, it cannot be spent, and does not add to the UTXO group. They say that increased limit can direct the use of data to this method cleaner and avoid worst alternatives.

Murchandamus and Eragmus comments support the decision, as one of them argues that it will reduce traffic in the knot and help prevent the centralization of miners. The other explained that it is a practical change that actually matches how to use the network.

Book for more decentralization

Bitcoin Core OP_RUTURN to 80 bytes since 2014. However, developers announced in May that the cover will be removed in the following version. In a recent statement, they made it clear that the decision corresponds to the CORE goal of reflecting the economically relevant activity by ensuring the transfer of transactions that are likely to be extracted.

They added that the prohibition of these transactions weakens decentralization, pushes users to alternative channels, and eventually failed to remove data from Blockchain. They explained to them, as they explained, they maintain the resistance of bitcoin control and ensure that the network operates efficiently.

“This does not support or overlook the use of non -financial data, but accepting that as an control -resistant system, it can be used Bitcoin and will be used to use cases that not everyone agrees to this,” statement Read.
