Hello,
I am writing to you today because I am concerned about a significant bug =
that seems to be overlooked in recent versions of the software. The bug =
in question concerns the "inscriptions" developed by @rodarmor, and it =
worries me because, in just a few months, they have already reached a =
size of 11.8GB on the blockchain, causing issues with the UTXO set, =
which appears to be growing by about 25MB per day.
I understand that there may be discussions about the nature of these =
inscriptions, but personally, I find it hard not to consider them as =
spam. Their recurring nature and their impact on the size of the UTXO =
set and the blockchain itself seem concerning, and I would like to =
understand why this problem has not been addressed more seriously.
I would also like to point out that there are options in Bitcoin Core to =
choose the mempool policy, such as datacarrier or permitbaremultisig. =
However, when it comes to inscriptions, there are no available options =
except for a patch produced by Luke Dashjr. Unfortunately, this patch is =
unusable for most people as it requires compiling Bitcoin Core.
So, I wonder why there are no options to reject inscriptions in the =
mempool of a node. Such a feature could give users the ability to =
customize their approach in managing these particular cases and help =
mitigate the negative impact of inscriptions on the network.
In addition to the technical issues, I also find that this situation =
raises ethical questions. Inscriptions are primarily used to sell NFTs =
or Tokens, concepts that the Bitcoin community has consistently =
rejected.
Therefore, I kindly request you, as Bitcoin developers, to take this =
concern into consideration and seriously consider implementing a feature =
that would allow users to reject inscriptions in the mempool. Such a =
measure would contribute to protecting the integrity of the network.
Thank you sincerely for your attention to this matter.
