The OP_RETURN Limit Debate (w/ Antoine Poinsot , ArbedOut, & American HODL)


Listen Later

Thomas Pacchia and Drew Armstrong sit down for a livestreamed chat in the PubKey parlor with ⁠Antoine Poinsot⁠ and ⁠ArbedOut⁠. Partway through, ⁠MrHODL⁠ crashes our studio to stir the pot. They discuss:


  • What really caused the OP_RETURN firestorm, and why it’s about more than just inscriptions

  • How the push for more data storage is creating incentives for harmful workarounds and network bloat

  • Why Bitcoin Knots is no longer “just a slightly modified Core," and why that should concern you

  • The tension between “community values” and miner incentives in the age of alternate implementations

  • The uncomfortable legacy of mempool policy: from anti-spam fixes to today’s shadow consensus

  • BONUS: the French idiom that perfectly captures why decentralized decision-making is so hard
