Samson Mow claims Peter Todd was ‘paid’ for OP_RETURN PR

Samson Mow has accused someone of paying a senior Bitcoin developer to push through a controversial change to Bitcoin Core’s OP_RETURN.

Bitcoin devs in OP_RETURN war motivated by ‘harm reduction’

Bitcoin developers’ war over the data storage limits of OP_RETURN was about UTXO bloat and harm reduction, according to one side.

Disagreement over a seemingly minor change to OP_RETURN unearthed hidden corporate interests influencing Bitcoin development.

Craig Wright seems to have forgotten to take down the Satoshi notice, which only needed to be displayed until January this year.

Bitcoin Core moderators are using GitHub repository controls to mute and ban contributors to a viral debate about OP_RETURN data storage.
