🗒️ Conversation Summary: A proposal to reject witness scripts with arbitrary data between OP_FALSE and OP_IF flags to prevent network overload while still allowing taproot benefits has been suggested. However, there are concerns about controlling the value of stored information and avoiding free-riders. Some suggest a larger OP_RETURN to store tagged root of a hash-tree, but objections to putting anything on-chain have delayed this. The current flood of BRC-20 inscriptions could have used other data encoding techniques, making it pointless to block them.
