That article is way too long. Is there a succinct explanation of why I should distrust Spark?
You don't need a new fork to strip out policy rules. Run Libre Relay if you want to fight Bitcoin censorship. It's available for Umbrel: https://apps.umbrel.com/app/libre-relay
If that's the only argument, it's more nonsensical than I thought. You need software to decode an OP_RETURN and you need different software to decode an inscription. The distinction is completely inconsequential. At least, I don't see how an inscription offers any plausible deniability of anything. It's tied to an input instead of an output.
It's insane that people are taking this argument seriously. It has always been possible to put objectionable material on chain. It's cheaper with inscriptions than with OP_RETURN. Although I expect Knots zealots to do it with OP_RETURN in an attempt to discredit Core. One of the tradeoffs of a censorship-resistant network.
It depends on how aggressively the anti-Core people continue pursuing their social media attack. The most likely outcome is that Core 30 gets released, gains adoption gradually like most releases, nothing changes vis-à-vis data on chain, and people forget about it.
It won't get weird because the Knots filters won't affect the network at all. They'll proudly keep datacarrier transactions out of their personal mempools, and download them anyway after they inevitably get mined.
Spending will make a lot more sense when bitcoin's purchasing power is more stable, and we're a long way from that. Until then, my "spending" is mostly to test out lightning. Zaps and small purchases from online retailers that accept it.
I'd take the 300 sats/day. Keep it up for a few years and you have a nice little stack. Keep solo mining for a few years and you have nothing.
