  "content": "\"Core30 changes were retarded\"\n\nSee this X post for the history, you'll see that the debate ended about 18 months before Core changed any relay defaults\n\nThis OP_RETURN debate started and ended in early 2024 when Mara announced Slipstream, an out-of-band way to submit transactions\n\nThat gave them an advantage, an advantage that small miners and small pools don't have. In response to this, the network autonomously quickly relaxed the relay policy to accept large OP_RETURNs. They did this by configuring their Core node; LibreRelay was too new to have been the main factor here\n\nSince then, a restrictive policy has probably had no effect, but it might have had a small harmful effects on miner decentralisation and node decentralisation\n\nNo-one can say Core \"rushed through\" a change, when it was catching up with the network's decision from 20 months earlier!\n\nThe bitcoin network, i.e. the few dozen noderunners who relax policy at the appropriate time, don't need permission from Core or Knots or you or me, when they want to defend miner decentralisation and node decentralisation\n\nhttps://xcancel.com/BitMEXResearch/status/2024952265719611458",
