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.

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

Bitcoin developers are arguing furiously about setting standards for the use of OP_Return for non-financial data storage.
