0 sats \ 4 replies \ @OT 5h \ on: The REAL reason for removing the OP_RETURN 80-byte limit bitcoin
What do you think caused the op return stats? People running Knots or the minimum TX fee getting dropped?

Yeah, because of Core's default settings, almost all OP_RETURN transactions are smaller than 80B.
That's a filter, it has been there for years, and it clearly works.
They had to get rid of it for "metaprotocols" like this Electron bullshit to work.
And Core did it, at great cost to them, both reputation-wise and adoption-wise.
They tried to spin it like they were saving small miners or some bullshit, but this was the endgame all along. Pretty dark stuff if you ask me.

That's not what the graph shows. It's a bit confusing, but the x axis is byte size.

So nothing to do with either?

It's trying to show that because of the core defaults, most of the op returns are smaller than 80B and only some op_returns are bigger.
This graph is used both by people that say that "filters don't work" as well as by people that say that "filters work". People on both sides are stupid.
