Bitcoin Enthusiast Challenges Ordinals Critics
Taproot Wizards contributor Rijndael has developed a script allowing Bitcoin node operators to reject blocks containing Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions, challenging critics to take action against what some see as unwelcome clutter on the Bitcoin blockchain. Yet, there's skepticism regarding the script's adoption due to the potential self-impairing consequences for the nodes that use it.
- The controversial move questions the commitment of those who have criticized Ordinals but may result in nodes 'bricking' themselves, as described by Glassnode analyst James Check.
- Resurfaced debates over Ordinals involve concerns about mempool congestion and implications for Lightning Network users, with potential solutions possibly arriving in the next major Bitcoin Core update.
