Let’s imagine we successfully activate BIP110. Currently, the majority of spam comes from tiny OP_RETURN transactions that won’t be filtered out by nodes running BIP110.
So what this fork actually tackles is:
- The `if (false) { ...data }` inscription envelope
- Large OP_RETURN transactions.
Given that large OP_RETURNs are already rare and inscriptions have been mostly dead for the past two years, what happens the "day after" the fork?
We’ll likely see a new wave of inscriptions using a different envelope, paying more or less the same fees as today (since you can still get into a block for 1 sat/vbyte).
What did we actually achieve?
This is what I mean: spam is garbage and spammers are pieces of shit, but we need to reason logically rather than emotionally. What did we achieve other than proving we wasted time while spammers continue to mock us by spamming without any real disruption?
