Bitcoin mining industry mostly uninterested in spam controversy

While many Bitcoiners have gone to war over the use of node-level “spam” filters, those in BTC mining have stayed in their lanes, unbothered.

Bitcoin’s OP_RETURN war just went nuclear: a chain fork proposal

A proposed Bitcoin fork would commence an activation period for updating consensus rules to limit storage unrelated to the movement of BTC.

A 2011 BTC wallet moved over $400M after a supposed deadline of “constructive possession” relating to the Salomon Brothers brand elapsed.

Bitcoin Knots supporters have argued that a change to an upcoming release of Bitcoin Core could open node operators up to legal attacks.

The accommodation signaled a slight victory for Knots node operators who have protested Core’s easements of OP_RETURN’s datacarriersize.
