Is it possible to solve this by solving the issue of pr= ovably un-spendable outputs without foreclosing on the possibility of other= types of transaction payloads (ie, not money), that would open the possibi= lity for a myriad of layered apps above? For example, hashes of content tha= t is external to bitcoin, that people want to pay to have timestamped in th= e blockchain, as provably unspendable outputs.

The social compact is to accept transaction for fee. I = think it is a major mistake to make decisions that discriminate on the cont= ent of the transaction, saying that some uses are not appropriate. If the f= ee is paid and it covers the size of the transaction, why would it matter i= f it is not a payment?=A0

I could be totally misreading this thread, too, so plea= se allow me some slack if I have!

+1 we're still early into the bitcoin story ... unexpected reuse sho= uld not be ruled out ...

Data does not belong in the blockchain. People running nodes hav= e all
implicitly agreed to store the blocks for financial purposes, and storing d= ata
is a violation of that social contract. Proof-of-stake may be arguably
financial, but I'm sure there must be a way to do it without spamming p= eople
against their consent.

The alternative is to make other standard outputs unable to store dat= a as
well.
