Pese a los datos on chain, la “guerra de clientes” en Bitcoin no cede
➤ Developer Murch presented on-chain data showing that large OP_RETURN outputs (over 83 bytes) constitute a negligible portion of Bitcoin's block space, challenging claims that Bitcoin Core v.30's increased limit would lead to spam and illegal content. ➤ Despite Murch's data, critics argue that the change is unnecessary and that the low current usage doesn't justify the expanded limit, fearing future misuse for non-financial data storage. ➤ A soft fork proposal, BIP-110, aims to revert the OP_RETURN limit, but its adoption depends on a critical mass of node operators, reigniting the debate on the actual risk posed by the expanded data capacity.
