    <p>Storage is not and never has been the trouble with block sizes.
      Please, before participating in discussions of this topic, at
      least get a basic understanding of it. Here's a talk I did a few
      years ago to get you started:

          &gt; can be added per block isn't sufficiently limited.

          True, the real question is whether the storage is in fact
          sufficiently limited. And I believe the answer to be 'yes'. </div>
        <div dir="auto"><br>
        </div>
        <div dir="auto">Why? Consider a worst case scenario using the
          maximum block size of 4MB and a block time of 10min, that's a
          growth of 210.24GB per year. Some of that can be pruned, but
          let's just assume that you don't want to. And currently the
          entire blockchain is roughly 500GB. </div>
        <div dir="auto"><br>
        </div>
        <div dir="auto">Now that looks like a lot of growth potential
          based on where we are at now. However, with the current cost
          of hardware, you can get a 5 TB hard drive for less than $150.
          That will last you 21 years before you run out of space.
          That's less than $0.02 per day. </div>

          nodes to run without needing to maintain the full UTXO set.

              &gt; to be connected to Max or someone from the team who
              can confirm Conspaid is<br>
              &gt; clients of GAP600. Max also at the time was open to
              do a call, I can check<br>
              &gt; again now and see if this is still the case and
              connect you.<br>
              &gt; <br>
              &gt; That on its own is enough of a sample to validate our
              statistics.<br>
              <br>
              Why don't you just give me an example of some merchants
              using Coinspaid, and<br>
              another example using Coinpayments, who rely on
              unconfirmed transactions? If<br>
              those merchants actually exist it should be very easy to
              give me some names of<br>
              them.<br>
              <br>
              Without actual concrete examples for everyone to see for
              themselves, why should<br>
              we believe you?<br>
              <br>
              &gt; I have also spoken to Changelly earlier today and
              they offered to email pro<br>
              &gt; @ <a href="http://changelly.com" rel="noreferrer
                noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank"
                moz-do-not-send="true">changelly.com</a> and they will
              be able to confirm GAP600 as a service<br>
              <br>
              Emailed; waiting on a reply.<br>
              <br>
              &gt; provider. Also please send me the 1 trx hash you
              tested and I can see if it<br>
              &gt; was queried to our system and if so offer some info
              as to why it wasnt<br>
              &gt; approved. Also if you can elaborate how you
              integrated with Changelly - I<br>
              &gt; can check with them if that area is not integrated
              with GAP600.<br>
              <br>
              Why don't you just tell me exactly what service Changelly
              offers that relies on<br>
              unconfirmed transactions, and what characteristics would
              meet GAP600's risk<br>
              criteria? I and others on this mailing list could easily
              do test transactions<br>
              if you told us what we can actually test. If your service
              actually works, then<br>
              you can safely provide that information.<br>
              <br>
              I'm not going to give you any exact tx hashes of
              transactions I've already<br>
              done, as I don't want to cause any problems for the owners
              of the accounts I<br>
              borrowed for testing. Given your lack of honesty so far I
              have every reason to<br>
              believe they might be retalliated against in some way.<br>
              <br>
              &gt; As the architect of such a major change to the status
              of 0-conf<br>
              &gt; transactions I would think you would welcome the
              opportunity to speak to<br>
              &gt; business and users who actual activities will be
              impacted by full RBF<br>
              &gt; becoming dominant.<br>
              <br>
              Funny how you say this, without actually giving any
              concrete examples of<br>
              businesses that will be affected. Who exactly are these
              businesses? Payment<br>
              processors obviously don't count.<br>
              <br>
              &gt; Are you able to provide the same i.e emails and
              contacts of people at<br>
              &gt; the mining pools who can confirm they have adopted
              FULL RBF ?<br>
              <br>
              I've already had multiple mining pools complain to me that
              they and their<br>
              employees have been harassed over full-rbf, so obviously
              I'm not going to<br>
              provide you with any private contact information I have.
              There's no need to<br>
              expose them to further harassment.<br>
              <br>
              If you actually offered an unconfirmed transaction
              guarantee service, with real<br>
              customers getting an actual benefit, you'd be doing test
              transactions<br>
              frequently and would already have a very good idea of what
              pools do full-rbf.<br>
              Why don't you already have this data?<br>

              There is an open question as to whether or not we should
              figure out a way<br>
              to price space in the UTXO set. I think it is fair to say
              that given the<br>
              fact that the UTXO set space remains unpriced that we
              actually have no way<br>
              to determine whether some of these transactions are spam
              or not. The UTXO<br>
              set must be maintained by all nodes including pruned
              nodes, whereas main<br>
              block and witness data do not have the same type of
              indefinite footprint,<br>
              so in some sense it is an even more significant resource
              than chain space.<br>
              We may very well discover that if we price UTXOs in a way
              that reflect the<br>
              resource costs that usage of inscriptions would vanish.
              The trouble though<br>
              is that such a mechanism would imply having to pay "rent"
              for an "account"<br>
              with Bitcoin, a proposition that would likely be offensive
              to a significant<br>
              portion of the Bitcoin user base.<br>

              it's useful to<br>
              &gt; objectively think about it in terms of value to the
              marketplace (fees<br>
              &gt; they're willing to pay) against cost to the network
              (storage consumed). It<br>
              &gt; comes down to supply and demand.<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; If the rate of growth of the blockchain is too high,
              Ordinals aren't the<br>
              &gt; cause, it's rather that the theoretical limit of the
              amount of storage that<br>
              &gt; can be added per block isn't sufficiently limited.
              (Whether they are used<br>
              &gt; to produce Ordinals or something else)<br>

              &gt;&gt; Hello,<br>
              &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt; This cat and mouse game can be won by
              bitcoin defenders. Why ? Because<br>
              &gt;&gt; it is easier to detect these transactions and
              make them a standardization<br>
              &gt;&gt; rule than to create new types of spam
              transactions.<br>
              &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; One of the things discussed during the
              mempoolfullrbf discussion is that<br>
              &gt;&gt; a small (~10%) of nodes willing to relay a class
              of transaction is enough<br>
              &gt;&gt; for that class of transaction to consistently
              reach miners. That means you<br>
              &gt;&gt; would need to get nearly the entire network to
              run updated relay policy to<br>
              &gt;&gt; prevent inscriptions from trivially reaching
              miners and being included in<br>
              &gt;&gt; blocks. Inscription users have shown that they
              are willing and able to send<br>
              &gt;&gt; non-standard transactions to miners out of band (<br>
              &gt;&gt; <a
href="https://mempool.space/tx/0301e0480b374b32851a9462db29dc19fe830a7f7d7a88b81612b9d42099c0ae"
                rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank"
                moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://mempool.space/tx/0301e0480b374b32851a9462db29dc19fe830a7f7d7a88b81612b9d42099c0ae</a>),<br>
              &gt;&gt; so even if you managed to get enough of the
              network running the new rule to<br>
              &gt;&gt; prevent propagation to miners, those users can
              just go out of band. Or,<br>
              &gt;&gt; they can simply change the script that is used to
              embed an inscription in<br>
              &gt;&gt; the transaction witness. For example, instead of
              0 OP_IF?, maybe they do 0<br>
              &gt;&gt; OP_DUP OP_DROP OP_IF. When the anti-inscription
              people detect this, they<br>
              &gt;&gt; have to update the rule and wait for 90%<br>
              &gt;&gt;  + of the network to upgrade. When the
              pro-inscription people see this,<br>
              &gt;&gt; they only have to convince other inscription
              enthusiasts and businesses to<br>
              &gt;&gt; update.<br>
              &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; The anti-inscription patch has to be run by many
              more participants (most<br>
              &gt;&gt; of whom don?t care), while the pro-inscription
              update has to be run by a<br>
              &gt;&gt; small number of people who care a lot. It?s a
              losing battle for the<br>
              &gt;&gt; anti-inscription people.<br>
              &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; If you want to prevent inscriptions, the best
              answer we know of today is<br>
              &gt;&gt; economic: the cost of the blockspace needs to be
              more expensive than<br>
              &gt;&gt; inscribers are willing to pay, either because its
              too expensive or because<br>
              &gt;&gt; there?s no market demand for inscriptions. The
              former relies on Bitcoin<br>
              &gt;&gt; becoming more useful to more people, the latter
              is the natural course of<br>
              &gt;&gt; collectibles.<br>
              &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt; Finally, I would like to quote satoshi
              himself who wrote about spam<br>

              &gt;&gt; &gt; As for the default policy, it can be a
              weakness but also a strength<br>
              &gt;&gt; because if the patch is integrated into Bitcoin
              Core by being activated by<br>
              &gt;&gt; default, the patch will become more and more
              effective as the nodes update.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt; Also, when it came to using a pre-segwit
              node, it is not a solution<br>
              &gt;&gt; because this type of node cannot initiate new

              Some people believe that<br>
              &gt;&gt; blocking Ordinals is censorship, and could lead
              to blocking regular<br>
              &gt;&gt; transactions in the future, just based on other
              criteria. That means, even<br>
              &gt;&gt; if developers would create some official version
              with that option, then<br>

              multisig outputs, see<br>
              &gt;&gt; transaction<br>
              &gt;&gt;
              54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713.
              You have<br>
              &gt;&gt; the whole altcoins that are connected to Bitcoin
              by using part of the<br>
              &gt;&gt; Bitcoin's UTXO set as their database.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; That means, as long as you won't solve
              IBD problem and UTXO set<br>
              &gt;&gt; growing problem, you will go nowhere, because if
              you block Ordinals<br>
              &gt;&gt; specifically, people won't learn "this is bad,
              don't do that", they could<br>
              &gt;&gt; read it as "use the old way instead", as long as
              you won't block all<br>
              &gt;&gt; possible ways. And doing that, requires for
              example creating new nodes,<br>
              &gt;&gt; without synchronizing non-consensus data, like it
              could be done in "assume<br>
              &gt;&gt; UTXO" model.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; Also note that as long as people use
              Taproot to upload a lot of data,<br>
              &gt;&gt; you can still turn off the witness, and become a
              pre-Segwit node. But if<br>
              &gt;&gt; you block those ways, then people will push data
              into legacy parts, and<br>
              &gt;&gt; then you will need more code to strip it
              correctly. The block 774628 maybe<br>
              &gt;&gt; contains almost 4 MB of data from the perspective
              of Segwit node, but the<br>
              &gt;&gt; legacy part is actually very small, so by turning
              witness off, you can<br>
              &gt;&gt; strip it to maybe just a few kilobytes.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; I want to emphasize that my proposal
              does not involve implementing a<br>
              &gt;&gt; soft fork in any way. On the contrary, what I am
              asking is simply to<br>
              &gt;&gt; consider adding a standardization option. This
              option would allow the<br>
              &gt;&gt; community to freely decide whether it should be
              activated or not.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; 1. Without a soft-fork, those data will
              be pushed by mining pools<br>
              &gt;&gt; anyway, as it happened in the block 774628.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; 2. Adding some settings won't help, as
              most people use the default<br>
              &gt;&gt; configuration. For example, people can configure
              their nodes to allow free<br>
              &gt;&gt; transactions, without recompiling anything. The
              same with disabling dust<br>
              &gt;&gt; amounts. But good luck finding a node in the wild
              that does anything<br>
              &gt;&gt; unusual.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; 3. This patch produced by Luke Dashjr
              does not address all cases. You<br>
              &gt;&gt; could use "OP_TRUE OP_NOTIF" instead of "OP_FALSE
              OP_IF" used by Ordinals,<br>
              &gt;&gt; and easily bypass those restrictions. This will
              be just a cat and mouse<br>
              &gt;&gt; game, where spammers will even use P2PK, if they
              will be forced to. The<br>
              &gt;&gt; Pandora's box is already opened, that fix could
              be good for February or<br>
              &gt;&gt; March, but not now.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>

              However, inscription represent by<br>
              &gt;&gt; far the largest spam attack due to their ability
              to embed themselves in the<br>

              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; Unlike other methods, such as using the
              op_return field which could<br>
              &gt;&gt; also be used to spam the chain, the associated
              fees and the standardization<br>
              &gt;&gt; rule limiting op_return to 80 bytes have so far
              prevented similar abuses.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; Although attempting to stop inscription
              could lead to more serious<br>
              &gt;&gt; issues, not taking action against these
              inscription could be interpreted by<br>
              &gt;&gt; spammers as tacit acceptance of their practice.
              This could encourage more<br>
              &gt;&gt; similar spam attacks in the future, as spammers
              might perceive that the<br>
              &gt;&gt; Bitcoin network tolerates this kind of behavior.<br>

              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; and I would like to understand
              why this problem has not been<br>
              &gt;&gt; addressed more seriously<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; Because if nobody has any good
              solution, then status quo is<br>
              &gt;&gt; preserved. If tomorrow ECDSA would be broken, the
              default state of the<br>
              &gt;&gt; network would be "just do nothing", and every
              solution would be<br>
              &gt;&gt; backward-compatible with that approach. Burn old
              coins, and people will<br>
              &gt;&gt; call it "Tether", redistribute them, and people
              will call it "BSV". Leave<br>
              &gt;&gt; everything untouched, and the network will split
              into N parts, and then you<br>
              &gt;&gt; pick the strongest chain to decide, what should
              be done.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; However, when it comes to
              inscriptions, there are no available<br>
              &gt;&gt; options except for a patch produced by Luke
              Dashjr.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; Because the real solution should
              address some different problem, that<br>
              &gt;&gt; was always there, and nobody knows, how to deal
              with it: the problem of<br>
              &gt;&gt; forever-growing initial blockchain download time,
              and forever-growing UTXO<br>
              &gt;&gt; set. Some changes with "assume UTXO" are trying
              to address just that, but<br>
              &gt;&gt; this code is not yet completed.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; So, I wonder why there are no
              options to reject inscriptions in the<br>
              &gt;&gt; mempool of a node.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; Because it will lead you to never
              ending chase. You will block one<br>
              &gt;&gt; inscriptions, and different ones will be created.
              Now, they are present<br>
              &gt;&gt; even on chains, where there is no Taproot, or
              even Segwit. That means, if<br>
              &gt;&gt; you try to kill them, then they will be replaced
              by N regular<br>
              &gt;&gt; indistinguishable transactions, and then you will
              go back to those more<br>
              &gt;&gt; serious problems under the hood: IBD time, and
              UTXO size.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Inscriptions are primarily used
              to sell NFTs or Tokens, concepts<br>
              &gt;&gt; that the Bitcoin community has consistently
              rejected.<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; The community also rejected things
              like sidechains, and they are<br>
              &gt;&gt; still present, just in a more centralized form.
              There are some unstoppable<br>
              &gt;&gt; concepts, for example soft-forks. You cannot stop
              a soft-fork. What<br>
              &gt;&gt; inscription creators did, is just non-enforced
              soft-fork. They believe<br>
              &gt;&gt; their rules are followed to the letter, but this
              is not the case, as you<br>
              &gt;&gt; can create a valid Bitcoin transaction, that will
              be some invalid Ordinals<br>
              &gt;&gt; transaction (because their additional rules are
              not enforced by miners and<br>
              &gt;&gt; nodes).<br>
