Care to engage with a confused pleb?
What I don’t understand is why core seems to have given up on working on filters. They initially created op_return with a limit to minimize spam damage, so they did wanted to limit spam. But spammers found workarounds like using witness and fake output (on top of going directly to big miners to get their over the limit transaction in).
I don’t understand why the solution now is to remove the filters completely, instead of working on improving filters (2 years ago a PR related to that was refused as “controversial” if not mistaken) or to change code at consensus level to make these kind of transactions invalid…?
